Passing: On a very sad note, the dressage world lost Carla Morrison this summer. Carla is best remembered for her morning rides at her Sympatico Farm next to Stillpoint. She called everyone “Sweetie” and passed her 20 karat diamond ring around the table at horse show dinners for all of us to try on. Carla lost her husband Pedro in 2003. Pedro was an avid polo player. Along with her horses, Carla was always seen with her entourage of pampered pups. Provisions are being made for her beloved animals who will miss her as much as we do.

Catching up:  Cesar Parra is hot, hot, hot in Europe.  At his first two shows in Germany he is three for three winning on Michael and Sarah’s Davis’ Grandioso and Dave and Taunia Reed’s Agastrofos.  Cesar will be back to defend his title at Gladstone but for now he is “loving life in Germany”.

Who’s on top?  Why, it’s Adelinde Cornelissen and the 14 year old gelding Jerich Parzival currently ranked No. 1 in  the latest dressage rankings, replacing Edward Gal and Totilas, although their last competition was nine months ago.  Great Britain’s Laura Bechtolsheimer and Mistral Hojris take over second place with Germany’s Ulla Salzgeber and Herzruf’s Erbe in third place.  Edward and the super-stallion Totilas had held the top spot for 19 months from Dec. 1, 2009 to June 30, 2011.  Adelinde, 31, of The Netherlands, had been No. 1 for three months prior to Edward and Totilas taking over.

Steffen Peters and Weltino’s Magic, owned by Jen Hlavacek, had a great time at the CHIO Aachen with strong performances, winning the Preis der VUV-Vereinigte Unternehmerverbände Aachen.  The class was the Prix St. Georges of the small tour, and the 9 year old Westfalen gelding received judges’ scores of 71.053, 73.553, 72.632, 75.000, and 70.658 for a total percentage of 72.579.  USEF Dressage Technical Advisor Anne Gribbons said, “Under Steffen’s expert guidance, Weltino’s Magic made a grand debut inEurope at the small tour.  Hearing our national anthem after the Prix St. Georges, which was the first class of the event, made theU.S. team feel like we are off to a good start!”

Footing woes:  It’s old news by now, but if you hadn’t heard, seven of eight rider and horse combinations withdrew from the Grand Prix at the Pebble Beach CDI3* in a protest by competitors over the quality of the footing.  Prior to the competition, riders said that the sand ring was too deep, uneven and hard in the corners at the Pebble Beach Equestrian Center.  Only Cyndi Jackson on Strauss showed, scoring 61.723 per cent.  The protest was the latest in the chorus of complaints in theU.S. andCanada over the quality of footing at many horse shows in North

So guess what’s happening on the site of the old polo stadium at PBPCC? Dressage rings!  Six of them, actually.  We’re told that by December, everything will be in place to launch a Global Dressage Festival for 2012.  “This is a huge deal,” said Ken Braddick, who runs the Wellington-based website dressage-news.com.  “Top riders are talking about what is happening inWellington.”

Is three really a charm?  Caroline Roffman is hoping it is.  At last year’s Markel/USEF National Young Horse Championship in Lamplight, Illinois, Caroline and her Hanoverian gelding Bon Chance won the Five-Year-Old division.  This year, she’s taking three horses to the National Young Horse Championships and the Developing Horse Championships; San City will compete in the Five-Year-Old division, Bon Chance in the Six-Year-Old division, and her Hanoverian gelding, Pie will enter the Developing Horse Championships.

Dressage rider Holly Johnson took a month long tour to ride with Lipizzans inCalifornia.  AFlorida native, she enjoyed seeingCalifornia from the top of one of the White Stallions!

On the international news front, Dr. Paulo Gonzaga was honored at the 23rd International Lusitano Festival in Lisbon, Portugal for his promotion of the breed in the United States and Latin America.  The festival attracted thousands of people and breeders from all over the world and during the emotional tribute, Arsenio Raposo Cordeiro praised Dr. Gonzaga on his many years of excellent service to the breed.

Here’s the newest and cutest new face at Bethany Peslar’s Everglades Dressage. This little filly is by Rousseau out of Bethany’s mare Waldora, aka “Princess” is practicing her canter pirouettes at less than a week old! Watch for this little spitfire in few years!

    I used to work for Carla before moving up to Ohio. I was wondering about her and found your article. I am floored to hear this news! She was such a generous person that had a great sense of humor and an incredible passion for her animals. I know she will be missed by a great many people, my deepest sympathy goes out to all.

There’s no denying the intrinsic value of the Ke There’s no denying the intrinsic value of the Kentucky Horse Park, in Lexington, Kentucky, in the world of equestrian sports. For so many event riders, this venue is an iconic destination that they dream about competing at, and I strongly believe it’s the perfect venue to host the American Eventing Championships (AECs). While I’m slightly biased because it’s my home event, I really believe that this is the best location for the AECs to be held each year.

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
