happen to great people!
Also making a debut at the
Hampton Classic
was new spon-
sor
Samuel Lynne Galleries
and artist
JD Miller
. JD, founder of
the
Reflectionist School
, uses an amazing technique to create
three-dimensional oil paintings. The Hampton’s crowd loved his
work and Samuel Lynne Galleries sold several pieces. Looks like
we’ll be seeing more of them on the horse show circuit.
Bridles and Britches
is happy to say that things are once again
“happening” in the great state of Louisiana. Bridles and Britches
tack store in Folsom, Louisiana, has just returned from traveling
to four weeks of back to back “AA” rated shows in Folsom. Af-
ter the devastation of hurricane Katrina, the equestrian world of
southern Louisiana is back in business! Everyone should head
down to Bridles and Britches in Folsom for some wonderful warm
Southern hospitality.
Big kudos to
Danielle Goldstein
who set her goal last fall to
ride for Israel. She did just that (just a few weeks after being the
Chef d’Equipe for the gold medal Israeli jumping team at the
Mac-
cabbi Games
) at the
European Championships
. Her stellar fin-
ish earned her spot on the
World Equestrian Games
team for
Israel in 2014.
After a fire destroyed their home and workshop last year just be-
fore the holidays,
Take 5 Equestrian
is thrilled to be back up and
operational! They are fully settled into their newly built home and
workshop and are hard at work
building and painting mini-jumps
ready to be shipped out for the
holidays. Their mini-jumps are
great, original gifts for the kids
that can be used outdoors and
indoors.
Our thoughts have been with
all of our equestrian friends and
their horses and animals in Col-
orado. First forest fires and now
flooding! Everyone at
Sidelines
is sending warm wishes and
thoughts to those in Colorado!

At a party in his honor,
Frederic Butet,
of
Butet
Sellier,
passed the torch to his partners
Arnaud
Lievre
and
Oliver Perdrix
at a private gathering
in Saumur, France. The famed saddlemaker and
former marketing managers invited 150 guests to
take an unprecedented tour of the workshop and
discover the projects and innovations that they had
set up over the past three years. They continued
the celebration at the magnificent Bouvet Ladubay
where guests, including Beval’s CEO
Mark Beval
and grand prix rider
Albert Voon
, paid tribute to the
saddlemaker while enjoying the fine French wine and
amazing fare. Left to right: Oliver Perdrix, Frederic
Butet and Arnaud Lievre.
