Sidelines
Magazine offers our condolences to Canadian
dressage rider
Pia Fortmuller
on the loss of
Orion
, a 18-year-old
Dutch Warmblood gelding. Her beloved partner passed away on
January 19th.
What a loss –
Sidelines
Magazine offers our condolences to
eventer
Allison Springer
on the loss of her recently acquired
partner
Lionheart
. The Westphalian gelding, previously ridden by
William Fox-Pitt
to the silver medal in the 2012 Olympic Games,
was euthanized after the second of two abdominal surgeries,
which reveled that a vascular accident had occurred in the colon
and both the small and large intestines were irreparably damaged.
What a loss for both Allison and the United States eventing
community.
It’sagirl!Congratulations to
ZaraPhillipsTindall,
granddaughter
of
Queen Elizabeth II
, and rugby star

on the birth
of their first child, a healthy baby girl. Zara is an accomplished
equestrian, with a silver medal from the 2012 Olympics under her
belt, and is in the running to compete in the Alltech FEI World
Equestrian Games 2014 in Normandy later this year.
One of our own. The equestrian community across the
country was saddened at the loss of equestrian
Claire Davis
.
Claire, 17, was a random victim when another student opened
fire at
Arapahoe High School
in Colorado. Claire was a
member of the
Colorado Hunter Jumper Association
and a
talented rider. Her Facebook photo with her horse (pictured)
circulated on the Internet and condolences were sent from far
and wide. Our condolences go out to her family and friends.
