Dressage rider
Chris
Hickey
has gone to the
dogs! Chris has been seen
with another new mini
Aussie pup. While dog
addiction is not treatable, his
puppies sure are cute!
Is that a bronc
rider or Olympic
dressage rider
Steffen Peters
?
Turns out Steffen
can piaffe and
ride a bucking
horse without
batting an eye.
Photographer
Lindsay McCall
caught this great
photo of Steffen
as a rodeo king
on
Vaya Con
Dios
at Del Mar
in California.
do fnish frst! Suzie and her husband
Tim Dutta
along with friends
Alyn Mann
and
Emma
and
Michael Phillips
(co-owners of
Ben
Maher’s
gold medal mount) were spotted enjoying dressage in
Wellington during the winter circuit.
World Equestrian Brand’s, Robin Moore
of Virginia and
her friend, horse guru
Tim McGaffc
from Arizona, made it to
Florida to check out the dressage Freestyle Friday at the Global
Dressage Festival CDI. It is fun to see eventers, jumper and
western enthusiasts like Ride TV Unbridled
Craig Morris
all
taking in dressage!
Masters of the dressage universe?
Noreen O’Sullivan
and
Karen Offeld
were seen sporting their World Masters Dressage
wear at the Palm Beach Derby.
Phillip Dutton
has “owned” the CIC3* division of the
Red Hills
International Horse Trials
the last two years. After winning and
taking third in 2012 with Mystery Whisper and Ben respectively,
he did it again in 2013 taking the blue with
Bruce Duchossois’
Mighty Nice and sixth place with
Tom Tierny’s
Atlas. After 15
years at the
Elinor Klapp-Phipps Park
, this was the fnal year
that the Red Hills cross-country course was staged there. Next
year the cross-country course will be run over Northwest Water
Management District land near the Phipps Park. The new
cross-country course, designed by
Hugh Lochore
and
Roger
Haller
, has already been started. Another change to the face of
international eventing is the FEI rule change that dictates all CIC
divisions will do their dressage and show jumping before going
cross-country. Look for this to change the schedules of a number
of events across North America as it did at Red Hills in March.
