By Jan Westmark-Allan “Don Altena made his competition debut under Canadian Olympian David Marcus at the CornerStone Summer Festival held July 12 to 14 at Caledon Equestrian Park in Palgrave, ON.” Photo Credit – Ally Dunlop Canadian Olympic Dressage rider David Marcus appeared on the April cover of Sidelines Magazine with his gorgeous Olympic partner Chrevi’s Capital. I had the pleasure of attending the photo shoot (at Tuny Page’s Stillpoint Farm in Wellington, Florida) and it was a great shoot! Photographer Sue Stickle took a zillion photos (not sure it that is an accurate number) and David and Chrevi were great sports – not to mention very photogenic! After the photo shoot, David saddled up his other great mount Don Kontes and rode him in the indoor for us. It was beautiful – poetry in motion.

Tweseldown victory follows impressive round at Barbury International
Friday, July 12 2013
by Editor
A solid CIC*** performance from a Chailey Stud veteran, followed by victory at Tweseldown, characterised a busy few days of eventing for Liz Halliday last weekend. The professional dual sportswoman began her weekend by contesting the Barbury International Horse Trials in Wiltshire where two of her horses – Fox (Red Letter Day II) and Blackie (Fernhill by Night) – were competing. Fox and Liz have formed a strong partnership and close personal bond during their near-decade together and rolled back the years to record a very pleasing result in a hotly contested CIC*** section. Dressage has never been Fox’s strongest discipline but a tidy test gave cause for optimism heading into the Show Jumping arena. Unfortunately three rails down would leave the pair towards the tail of the field. But Barbury’s monster Cross Country course and the sweltering temperatures ensured that a stern final round remained

Horse show ribbons are great symbols of all that we’ve accomplished with our equine partners, but chances are that if you’ve shown for even a few years, you’ve accumulated many ribbons. What do you do with them once your horse’s stall front is covered? Here are a few creative ideas to get you started.

Bam Bam Slam- Available for Adoption!
Monday, July 08 2013
by Editor
Bam Bam is such a cute mare, always in your face for attention and will check you out head to toe if you walk into her stall because she is very curious about people. She will do whatever she has to to keep your attention completely on her. Always the princess! Bam has an adorable face and is very well put together and muscular for such a young horse meaning she will be a very solid, pretty mare at maturity. She already garners attention every time she is out of her stall. Her rider will need the experience of working with babies because being only three and being unraced, she is working on the basics of moving forward, bending, straightness and focus. By doing figures around the arena, she is better able to focus her attention on her job and it also aids in bending and suppling through the body. Once Bam has more miles under her belt she might be a little less lazy and she is suitable for any less strenuous disciplines if given some time to finish growing up first
