Martha
, the proud mom of
David Jennings
reported to
Sidelines
that her son was awarded a very prestigious award
among fellow riders, the Leading Professional Jumper Rider
award at Horse Shows by the Bay this summer in Traverse City,
Michigan. Congratulations David. The talented rider also fnished
7th in the $30,000 Grand Prix aboard Nandy Fontaine.
Are you thinking your next mount should be a
KWPN
? Not a bad
idea since Dutch-bred horses won a total of 11 Olympic medals
in London, fve of which were gold. Sounds like a golden breed!
For the equestrian who has everything and enjoys a good
laugh! Veterinarian
Lisa H. Handy
, of Carolina Equine Clinic in
Equestrian and singer
Ki-Juan Minors
married the love
of his life on July 20th at the Conrad Bali Hotel in Indonesia.
After dating for 10 years, Ki proposed to
Courtney Dill
, of
Bermuda, at the 2010 Hampton Classic Horse Show just
before performing the National Anthem in front of thousands
of spectators and friends. The couple few for over 27 hours
to reach their exotic destination – and all we can say is it
looks breathtaking. Ki competes, trains and sells horses with
his trainer
