Northward Ho! Wellington trainer
Rick Rockefeller-Silvia,
relocated for the summer to the Windy City – almost. He is now
at
the Mary Lou and Jenn Moskal’s Legacy USA Equestrian
center in Burr Ridge, Illinois, just outside the city. Rick brought
Dawn Berarndo’s
handsome Oldenburg,
Rubinero,
to train and
stand at Legacy.
Meanwhile, Little Ranches is also losing trainer
John Zopatti
– who is heading to Pinehurst, North Carolina for the summer
where he will ride and train. He is taking along
Kristy Lund’s
horse
Fabio
who he has been competing in the Grand Prix. And
we are happy to report that Kristy got a new truck after a faulty
wiring in the seat heater started a fire in her truck and she lost her
dog Goldie at Finals last year.
