Canadian Olympian David Marcus is back in Wellington for the winter season. Having dominated CDI-W Dressage at Devon in September by winning three grand prix classes, Marcus sat atop the North American World Cup League standings as the new year opened with Chrevi’s Capital (pictured), a 12-year-old Danish Warmblood gelding. In addition to their full show schedule, the pair was invited to represent Canada at the prestigious World Dressage Masters held at the Jim Brandon Center in January. Based at Tuny Page’s Stillpoint Farm for the season, the 32-year-old coach and trainer will campaign both Chrevi’s Capital and Don Kontes at the grand prix level while continuing the development of the exciting seven-year-old mare, Betrina, all owned by Deborah Miculinic. David also has a select few sales horses that have accompanied him to Wellington, Florida. Photo by Cealy Tetley, www.tetleyphoto.com

Has Premier Equestrian gone to the dogs? Kind of! Their new Premier Canine launched by providing “mini dressage rings” for the Ukanuba National Dog Show in Orlando. The rings looked very elegant; but it seems it was the French “Bull Dog” kissing station that had Heidi and Shirley Zorn puckering up at the show!

Draper Therapies, makers of all those cozy horse, dog and people therapy blankets, has a new face at the marketing helm. Welcome aboard, Becky Shipps!

American dressage sponsor Gwendolyn Sontheim Meyer has acquired Anabel Balkenhol’s 13-year old Westfalian mare Winci as new Grand Prix horse for Guenter Seidel to ride. Gwendolyn owns Coral Reef Ranch in Rancho Santa Fe, California, where the 52-year old Guenter has based his horses for many years. Coral Reef also owns Beezie Madden’s U.S. Olympic show jumper Via Volo. Winci is a chestnut mare by Weinberg x Saluut which was owned by Klaus Balkenhol. The Grand Prix mare was briefly trained by Hubertus Schmidt in 2010, but Anabel Balkenhol started competing her at Grand Prix level in 2012. Winci has been renamed Coral Reef Wylea.

Congratulations to the blond duo of Amy Swerdlin and Dr. Kristy Truebenbach Lund. TheWellington pair returned from the USDF Region Three Championships held in October in Georgia with five Championships. They swept the first, second, third, Grand Prix and Grand Prix Freestyle divisions. Although they credit their great horses, training and hours of practice for all their success, is it a coincidence they both are married to someone named Scott and both married a veterinarian?

Congratulations to the new USDF Certified Instructors. The exam was held in November at Southerly Winds Farm, in Harrah, Oklahoma. The exam was the inaugural exam for the new Training-First Level Certification. New USDF Certified Instructor/Trainers at Training through First Level include: Ashley Hammill of San Antonio, Texas; Heather McCullough of Davidson, North Carolina; Eileen Ostlund of Boone, Iowa; Sherry Guess of Porter, Oklahoma; Erin Jackson of Vallejo, California; Becky Brown of Dallas, Texas and Deanna Myers of Ormond Beach, Florida. New USDF Certified Instructors/Trainers at Second Level include: Jennifer Hogan of Chapel Hill, Tennessee and Ashley Hammill.

Charles de Kunffy has joined the Dressage Summit superstar lineup, which also includes Christoph Hess, Walter Zettl and Pat and Linda Parelli. Charles has written six books on the classical dressage tradition and his experience as a dressage judge, trainer and author make him one of the most sought after dressage masters and clinicians today. Tickets for the Dressage Summit, February 9-11, inWellington, are: $195 for a 3-day pass; $395 for a VIP ticket and $95 for a 1-day pass. For more information on the Dressage Summit, or to purchase tickets, visit www.dressagesummit.com or call (855) 727-3554.

Unbridled with Joe Norick! 🐎 Joe Norick stays Unbridled with Joe Norick! 🐎 Joe Norick stays busy with not one but two full-time jobs with companies that span the nation. The first is as a senior vice president for equine, farm and ranch clients with Alliant in West Palm Beach; the second, which he took on in October of 2022, is as the chief customer officer for HITS Shows. But Joe doesn’t care about titles. “I more consider myself the architect of what we’re creating here in the new HITS,” he said. Along with CEO Peter Englehart, Joe oversees all HITS Shows across the country—which is why he says lately it feels as though his home base has been American Airlines, traveling to each of the six unique HITS venues. “I love the fact that in Ocala we have so many beautiful paddocks, and over 500 acres that you can ride on and the horse can be a horse, and a horseman can be a horseman,” Joe said. “I love the beauty and charm that we have at our Chicago facility. I love the family aspect of Vermont. I love the high level of competition we have at both Del Mar and Saugerties, which we now call HITS Hudson Valley because of the amazing Hudson Valley. I love the tradition that we have in Virginia at our Culpepper facility. They all have something special.” Get to know Joe in this month's edition of Sidelines Magazine! and never miss an unbridled by subscribing for just $14.95 A YEAR! Link in bio! 📸Photo by ESI
Growing up, Zayna Rizvi put fashion ahead of funct Growing up, Zayna Rizvi put fashion ahead of function when it came to her riding attire. “I would only ride my first pony, Buttons, in a princess outfit. I refused to wear regular riding clothes and only wanted to ride in my tutu,” she said. The 2021 Maclay Finals winner has since shed her tutu and these days can be found sporting breeches and boots as she tackles the jumper ring in the High Juniors, U25 series, the FEI classes in the two-star and three-star divisions and occasionally makes her way back into some equitation classes. Immersed in the equestrian life from the start, Zayna can be found, if she isn’t doing schoolwork, in the barn trying to refine her riding as she aims to move up the ranks in international competitions. To read more about Zayna head on over to our website. Link in bio! 📸Portraits by Melissa Fuller

Olivia Williams, who started her riding career in Olivia Williams, who started her riding career in a town with a population of less than 200 people, has now competed at some of the top equestrian destinations all over the country. A sophomore in college, she grew up in San Francisco where she spent the majority of her career riding with Holly and Elizabeth “Lumpy” Kilham at Kilham farms in Nicasio, California. She competed up and down the West Coast, showing everywhere from Desert International Horse Park to the Silicon Valley Equestrian Festival. While living in San Francisco, she got the ride on Irocco Blue S, barn name Rocco. Little did she know at the time that she and the 10-year-old Dutch Warmblood would travel the country together. Olivia and Rocco’s partnership has grown over the years, and she said that no matter where her career takes her, she can’t envision going into the ring without him. When they first met, Rocco and Olivia were both a little green and still learning the ropes of the 1.40m classes.But just a few years after Olivia starting riding Rocco, they now boast an impressive resume together, including competing in the North American Youth Championships (NAYC) and finishing 10th in the Prix des States. At the NAYC, Olivia’s team finished with a bronze medal, and she finished in sixth place individually. After the championships, Olivia had a lot of decisions to make. She graduated from high school in 2022 and had to decide between two very different life paths: a career in horses or a college education. She managed to find a path that has worked for her throughout her freshman year. While she moved away from home to go to the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, Rocco moved to Florida to live with Andrew and Alex Welles. Every other week, Olivia flies to Florida to compete her horse. Dying to read more??? Head on over to our website.
