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.

❗️George Williams column❗️ The FEI World ❗️George Williams column❗️
The FEI World Cup Final in Omaha is coming up quickly. That means that it’s starting to heat 
up as the end of the qualifying period for both the Western European League (WEL) and the 
North American League (NAL) nears. I started to write this column before the Amsterdam CDI- W, and I was using the FEI Ranking List from January 15 as a reference. As I sit down to finish 
my column, I’m now looking at the results from Amsterdam. While the list of the top contenders 
for the WEL hasn’t changed, they’re definitely moving around on the ranking list. The WEL has 
three more legs, as they’re referred to: Neumünster February 16–19, Goteborg February 23–26, 
and ’s-Hertogenbosch March 9–12, and they could change things dramatically.
Looking at the top 12 athletes from the WEL as they were ranked on January 15, there are five 
from Germany, three from the Netherlands and one each from Great Britain, Denmark

Lisa Goldman-Smolen and Ivaro N strike gold in Gre Lisa Goldman-Smolen and Ivaro N strike gold in Great American $300,000 Grand Prix at HITS Ocala!! 🏆🥇

Crowds filled the stands at the HITS Ocala Grand Prix Ring on Sunday afternoon to watch the world’s top athletes compete in the Great American $300,000 Grand Prix. The day concluded with a thrilling five-horse jump-off featuring athletes 
representing four countries. In the end, it was Lisa Goldman-Smolen (USA) and Ivaro N who produced the only double clear effort of the day, claiming one of the biggest wins of her career. Scott Keach (AUS) and Noble De La Chapelle earned the second-place prize with the fastest 4-fault jump-off, while Aaron Vale (USA) and Obi Wan placed third as the day’s pathfinders.

“I'm still on cloud nine, I still can't believe it – I’ve used up all my luck for the year,” smiled Goldman-Smolen after her win. “I've been knocking on the door a long time in these bigger classes. I am so proud of my horse – he gave every ounce of effort.”

Sunday’s Great American $300,000 Grand Prix marked the conclusion of the 2023 HITS Ocala circuit. HITS CCO Joe Norick concluded, “We are so excited about the new HITS, with 2023 as the launch. New footing, many new arenas here, and a lot of our facilities across America are getting a lot of love and new footing. Our partnerships with Worldly Martin and others across America including our footing leader Bart Poles overseeing our operations – it really makes a big difference for us. Today is about Ocala and these three riders sitting next to me who supported us this entire winter. We want to be a proud destination for our exhibitors and our friends. We know we have to provide them a beautiful showplace to work from that's horseman friendly, and that's our go goal. 

Congratulations to all of the riders, horses, owners, and groom who participated in this prestigious class!!! 🎉

Annette Longenecker wasn’t just born into horses Annette Longenecker wasn’t just born into horses—in a way, she was born into her career. She grew up in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, where her parents ran a farm. Her mother taught, and her father had a jump business and then created one of the first horse show software programs: Ryegate Show Services, Inc.

Riding all her life, Annette spent many years as a groom and loved it, but knew it wasn’t what she wanted to do as a career. After she finished college, Annette’s father recruited her to help process entries at Ryegate. Since her father, Lloyd Longenecker, founded it in 1981, Ryegate has provided show management and office staff for some of the largest shows in the country. Now, Annette has taken over from her father and directed the company as it focuses on managing memberships and rankings for organizations such as the North American League, WIHS Championships and Equitation, Rolex/USEF Computer Ranking and National Medal Series (THIS NCM and Ariat NAM). Ryegate also provides scoring software for use with video walls, and production teams for hunter and jumper shows.

“Besides running Ryegate Show Services and its various organizations, I can be found in the show office, running a scoreboard or judging jumpers at most shows,” Annette said. “I love getting to wear a few different hats at the show.”

When she’s not busy at a show, Annette lives in Annville, Pennsylvania, with her “fur-baby,” Maggie Mae, and enjoys spending time with her many godchildren. Though she doesn’t currently own any horses, Annette rides when she can at Rolling Acres Farm with Patty Foster, Ashley Foster-Worthington and Mary Lisa Leffler.
