RIP Sapphire, 1995-2014

The equestrian world is mourning the loss of the great show jumping mare Sapphire, who died on June 22, 2014, following complications from colic. With longtime rider, McLain Ward, the 1995 Belgian Warmblood mare was a member of many U.S. Jumping Teams helping the United States capture Team Gold at the 2004 and 2008 Olympic Games and Team Silver at the 2006 FEI World Equestrian Games. Millions of Sapphire’s fans took to social media to mourn her loss and share wonderful memories of the amazing mare. The United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) sent out an announcement, which included a statement from McLain, who talked about his longtime partner, Sapphire, known as Sara around the barn. He said: “Our entire Castle Hill family and every person she has touched has lost a great friend. Thank you Sara not just for all the dreams you made come true but simply for being who you were. You always will be my champion in every way. Godspeed, good friend.”

It seems like most of the equestrian world wants to be in show biz! The movie “The Sunday Horse” was recently being filmed in Atlanta, Georgia, and sent out a casting call for extras including “Caucasian girls with their own English Horseback Riding gear.” Facebook almost caught on fire the word spread so rapidly about the movie. Apparently the oddly phrased wording in the casting call didn’t slow anyone down and we assume lots of young riders with their own English Horseback riding gear tried out to become extras.

It’s A Girl! Congratulations to Liza Boyd on the birth of her second child, Elizabeth Adeline Boyd. The whole family, husband Blake Boyd, and daughter, Elle, 4, are excited about the new edition. Liza is the reigning USHJA International Hunter Derby Champion.

Oh Canada! The 2018 World Equestrian Games are headed to Canada, and FEI President HRH Princess Haya said the FEI was “delighted to award the 2018 Games to Bromont/Montreal.” The Games will take place at the Bromont Olympic Equestrian Park, the site of the 1976 Montreal Olympic equestrian events. Start making travel plans now — the 2018 World Equestrian Games will be here before you know it!

The Hampton Classic Horse Show is expanding food options for horse show attendees this summer. In addition to the veteran food vendors from previous years, the show is adding almost 10 new vendors, and a new twist on a New York tradition; a Farmer’s Market.  The Classic will feature 18 gourmet food choices scattered throughout show grounds for riders and spectators to enjoy a culinary connection to the state of New York’s local food businesses. The Farmer’s Market will be different every day, with six vendors featured per day. Also featured will be wine club subscriptions with local Hampton wines.

The end of the NAL season is approaching but there’s still time for riders to earn points to qualify for the North American League finals. The NAL offers a great opportunity for riders to qualify for NAL Finals at the Pennsylvania National Horse Show and the Las Vegas National Horse Show.  The qualifying period for the NAL runs through August 31 and anyone can compete in NAL qualifying classes. However, only current members are awarded points. Joining the NAL is the best way to ensure that you get the points necessary to make it to the Finals and annual memberships are only $40 per rider.

The Equestrian Aid Foundation fundraiser in Flemington, New Jersey, was a huge success. The event was held at Sand Hill Farm, the private residence of Scott Stewart and EAF board member Ken Berkley, who co-chaired the dinner party along with fellow board member Mimi Tashjian. One of the highlights of the night was special singer Chad Michaels, one of the world’s premier Cher impersonators, who wowed the crowd with a concert of the diva’s top hits.

Sidelines Magazine was saddened to hear of the passing of Mindy Darst. The much-loved and respected trainer, of Lochmoor Stables, in Lebanon, Ohio, lost her battle with cancer in June. She was 54. Sidelines staff writer Lauren R. Giannini interviewed Mindy for a story that appeared in our April 2014 issue. After learning that Mindy had passed, Lauren said, “Mindy was an inspiration and will always be my reminder to think positively, nurture hope no matter what the odds might be, and embrace every tiny moment of joy. It was an honor to collaborate with Mindy on her story – she earned my respect and my affection.” Sidelines sends our condolences to Mindy’s family and friends.

HELLO OCTOBER!!! Kicking off the month with Intern HELLO OCTOBER!!! Kicking off the month with International-level dressage rider Amelia Newcomb. Who is committed to making dressage accessible to anyone who wants to learn and improve in the sport. With a mantra of “Dressage for All,” Amelia, her husband, Germán Schneider, and the rest of her team at Amelia Newcomb Dressage believe that anyone and everyone can learn to love their ride. 
With over 100,000 YouTube subscribers around the globe, Amelia is able to share her joy and 
enthusiasm for the sport with more equestrians than she ever dreamed of through her online training 
platform. Amelia’s curriculum breaks riding down into a simple, proven system that anyone can follow 
and get results, regardless of age, discipline or location.“My goal is to make good dressage training accessible to everyone who is interested in learning. One way I do that is by producing quality videos to educate and encourage dressage students along their dressage journey,” Amelia said. “The transformations that my students get are insane and my business is changing the entire sport of dressage and the way people learn to ride.”
While Amelia is a talented USDF Gold, Silver and Bronze medalist today, she knows the struggles 
associated with trying to make your way in the sport without abundant educational resources. “I grew up in Colorado, where there weren’t that many dressage resources available. I was so hungry for knowledge, I would go to big shows just to watch the big-named trainers work,” Amelia said. “That’s why, when given the opportunity to share what I’ve learned along the way, I decided to go for it and start my YouTube channel.”
