Celebrating Super Equine Supermodels
First Date, owned by Kady
Hobbins of Canada
-- Winner of The Rambo®
Newmarket Equine
Collection Printed Cooler
from Horseware Ireland
First Date helped me
qualifying for the CET
Medal fnals at the Royal
Winter Fair and we also
placed 8th in the Canadian
Hunter Derby Finals. We
are currently moving up
to the High Performance
Hunter division and are
having the time of our lives
competing against professionals in the hunter ring.
Foxwater Pure Country, owned by Mary
Ellen Payne of Georgia
-- Winner of the Bridleway Leather Show
Halter
This is Foxwater Pure Country Welsh
Stallion standing at Foxwater Farm.
Foxwater Pure Country is the line bred son
of three-time National Welsh Champion
GlanNant Country Roads. Standing 12
hands, Rhett Butler is my idea of a dream
pony.
R Street Cat, from New Vocations
Racehorse Adoption Program in Ohio
-- Winner of the Two Socks Design Saddle
Pad
“R Street Cat” is a 3-year-old
Thoroughbred who was retired from the
racetrack and donated to New Vocations
Racehorse Adoption Program. Unplaced
after four starts, it was evident that he had
no interest in being a racehorse. He has
been adopted and will be starting his new
career as a hunter, a discipline much better
suited to his personality.
Rosenthal, owned by Larissa Barilar of Maryland
-- Winner of the Absorbine prize pack including a15 oz. ShowSheen Finishing Mist and
a 4 lb. jar of Magic Cushion
This is Rosenthal, a 1998, 16.3 Imported Black Hanoverian Stallion (Rubinstein/
Karon/Woermann). He is a leading producer of premium foals in multiple breeds in
the US and is known for producing very pretty and trainable offspring. He competed
through Prix St. Georges with Inga Janke.
Piper, owned by Jennifer Gordon of
Georgia
-- Winner of the Bridleway Fancy-
Stitched Padded Snaffe Bridle
This is Piper, a 4-year-old
Thoroughbred mare who was
rescued at two from going to
slaughter after showing no promise
on the track. Watching her blossom
into the beautiful horse she is today
has brought me so much joy. We
hope to be in the hunter ring soon!
The Sidelines Horse Supermodel Contest was a smashing success. We received over 400
entries and, needless to say, all of the horses and ponies entered were supermodels in their own
right. Congratulations to the top fve winners -- all super supermodels. The judges selected some
wonderful photos to appear in our Supermodel spread – but don’t despair if you didn’t see all the
photos – just visit the Sidelines website to view all of the Supermodel entries.
