Tuesday, April 29 2014 by Editor
Well another Rolex has come and gone, but this will certainly be one I will remember fondly for a long time to come. Friday, the second day of dressage, was the only day of the weekend that saw bad weather but that didn’t stop nearly 14,000 people from attending

The Hopeful Amateur Hits the Big Times at Rolex Kentucky!

Friday, April 25 2014 by Editor
Wow! Who ever would have thought little old me would find myself the middle of so much Rolex excitement! In my wildest dreams, I wouldn’t have imagined that I would be sitting here, writing this blog, from the official media center of the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event presented by Land Rover . And when I’m not in the media center (or walking through the trade fair trying not to even look at anything), I enjoy watching the action from the Kentucky Horse Park Foundation tent. Or I’m attending the competitor’s party, rubbing elbows some of the best riders in the world

Getting involved in Lexington’s equine community, even without a horse of my own

Sunday, April 13 2014 by Editor
This weekend from the beach in Florida, I finally had a few moments to reflect on everything that’s taken place since our move back to Lexington. And I’ve realized that even without a horse of my own, I’ve had a lot of great opportunities to get involved in Lexington’s equine community.  I would encourage other hopeful amateurs that may also happen to be horseless at the moment to find ways to get involved in their local equine community.

Road to the Horse 2014

Tuesday, March 25 2014 by Editor
Lexington has been through one of its most trying winters in decades and it is still not over. Sunny, 70 degree days are enjoyed once or twice a week only to be followed by a day or two of bitter cold and even more snow

The winner will receive a one year sponsorship deal that includes  €10,000  and personalized Horseware Ireland gear for you and your horse to sport around the show grounds.

When There is Only Hope and Horses, Part 1

Friday, January 10 2014 by Editor
Hello all and welcome to the world of The Hopeful Amateur! As Sidelines’ newest writer, I will have a monthly column about the equestrian world from a novice amateur’s point of view featured in Sidelines’ digital magazine as well as my blog, where I’ll write about my adventures and experiences even more often.  The following is the first half of my story about my life and love of horses.    From a very young age, all I wanted to do was ride horses. Photos courtesy of The Christopherson Family   Riding my lease horse, Bentley, this past September in Alabama.

It’s been a while since I’ve shown. After Indo It’s been a while since I’ve shown. After Indoors we turned the horses out and let them be horses. But now it’s time and I’m getting ready to head to Florida for the winter circuit. I’m feeling a bit anxious about getting back into the competitive state of mind, doubting myself and feeling more stress than I did when I was showing. Is this normal? What’s happening to me? What do I do to get back into the right place in my head? Why do I keep going back to this if it does what it does to me at the start of each season? - a Sidelines fan

"Throughout human history, people have enjoyed organizing competitions—the Ancient Greek Olympic Games go back to 776 BC. If you look around, you’ll notice that competition is everywhere in the modern world. Many historians believe that 'competitiveness' is a biological trait that co-evolved with the basic need for human survival. However, returning to a competitive state after time off from being a competitive athlete can be quite daunting," says sports psychologist Margie Sugarman.

"The proper mindset keeps you grounded in the present instead of solely focusing on the results. This automatically helps lower the performance brain state and allows for better focus, performance and results- Focus on what you can control."

Emily Dulin has always been an animal lover, and h Emily Dulin has always been an animal lover, and helping others is in her blood. She’s the daughter of a Venezuelan ambassador and has spent much of her professional career working in social services and animal welfare. In 2015, Emily took on the role of chief executive officer of Brooke USA Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the welfare of working horses, donkeys and mules, and helping the people that depend on them for survival worldwide. 

“We are making a difference,” Emily said. “We will evaluate an animal at the start of a new program, and then just one, two and then five years later, we see marked improvements in terms of how they are handled, husbandry practices, what they eat and even how crops are being grown just to feed their animals—how feed is stored—and more. To see that end result firsthand is what I find most satisfying.”

Thank you to Brooke and Cody Holcomb of Wyco Ranch in Ft. Pierce, Florida, for the use of your farm, donkeys and horses for the Sidelines photo shoot.
