      This Winter, Anne Hambleton, former eventer, steeplechase rider, pony clubber and now devoted fox-hunter, published her first novel, drawing on her life-long love of horses and riding.  Anne’s book, Raja, the Story of a Racehorse, begins at a stud farm where the handsome, black foal with aristocratic genes stands out among the others.  With a Kentucky Derby winner as his sire, a great name is needed to seal great expectations; he is named “Raja”, meaning “hope” in Arabic, and “king” in India, by the owner’s daughter. As is the case of many modern thoroughbreds, his life is marked by changes, both minute and catastrophic, that take him from a safe, caring and respectful environment where he is “special,” to places where he is but one of many and “not so special”.   Woven through this “first-horse” narrative are the voices of his dam and the Arabic princess who had named him but who is pulled from his life by the exigencies of the 911 attacks.  His dam told him, “Remember this always; even when life is hard, never, ever give up.”   Princess Ayesha told him, “You’re the most perfect thing in the universe and I will always love you.”  He will need the strength of these memories to pull him through because, as the farm manager reminds us, “racing is a business, plain and simple.  It’s a beautiful sport, but you can’t be sentimental if you want to win at the highest levels.” Anne Hambleton’s commitment to riding and horses has continued unabated throughout her varied academic and business lives. During the years that she was a steeplechase jockey she was working full-time at her home in Vermont and commuting to the Delaware Valley of Pennsylvania on weekends to race horses.  When she left steeplechasing, she picked up three day eventing and continued the commute.  These days she is still commuting from her farm to foxhunt with Mr.

It has been said that a true horseman and his moun It has been said that a true horseman and his mount are joined not by tack, but by trust—and Luke Jensen has proven himself to be more than worthy of that adage. As one of the top equitation riders of recent years, Luke is well-known within the horse show world for his ability to bring out the best in any horse he rides. The 19-year-old—who now works as a professional rider at North Run Farm in Warren, Vermont, and Wellington, Florida—is also admired within equestrian circles for his maturity, strong work ethic and kind personality. 

Luke, who has been described as “one of the nicest people” in the industry, capped off a hugely successful Junior career by winning the coveted Dover/USEF Medal National Championship last year aboard North Run Farm’s handsome grey Belgian Warmblood Jamaica. The pair was also victorious in both the WEF Equitation Championship and the R.W. “Ronnie” Mutch Equitation Championship, among other classes. Luke and Jamaica impressively placed second in the Platinum Performance/USEF Show Jumping Talent Search Final – East and finished the season by earning the reserve championship in a particularly competitive ASPCA Maclay Finals. Additionally, as a testament to his character, Luke was awarded the Junior Sportsmanship Award at the Winter Equestrian Festival.
