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

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

Trying to express what a beloved mount means to an equestrian is really, really hard.

Monday, March 17 2014 by Editor
In exactly one emotional whirlwind of a month, my life has undergone some tremendous changes.  My long-term boyfriend successfully completed and graduated from one long year of intense Army pilot training-something that tested us but made our relationship stronger in the end.  I also said goodbye to my lease horse, Bentley, and uprooted my life in small town Alabama to move back to Lexington, KY. I know I have mentioned Bentley in previous blogs but I’ve never fully explained how he came to be mine for one wonderful year and why I made the painful but necessary choice not to purchase him.

When There is Only Hope and Horses, Part 2

Wednesday, February 05 2014 by Editor
In my very first post, I wrote about my childhood and how my love of horses began and blossomed during these years. I also wrote about how I had to leave behind my life with horses as a young girl.  Now, I am finishing my story; read the second part of my blog to learn about what has been happening in my young adult life and how I am slowly but surely finding my way back to a life I was born to lead; the life of an equestrian

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.

Marie Meyers has been around the world because of Marie Meyers has been around the world because of dressage, but it’s her farm in Moorpark, California, that has captured her heart. The farm and the business that thrives there represent Marie’s lifelong journey—a journey made up of good friends, spectacular horses and relationships made to last.

Marie was raised in Southern California, and spent her childhood playing just about every sport under the sun, but she didn’t discover riding until she was 14 years old. “I loved animals so much, so I started taking lessons. I did jumping at first, but I was very bad at that, for sure!” Marie laughed.

After some time, Marie moved on to take lessons at Foxfield Riding Academy and began riding dressage. “I fell into dressage by accident,” Marie said, “At the beginning, I thought it was extremely boring, but then I got hooked. By the time I graduated from high school, I had plans to travel to England to work for Franz Rochowansky, a former head of the Spanish Riding School.”

In 1988, Marie’s hard work paid off, and the pair was selected as alternates for the 1988 Summer Olympic Games. “They didn’t take the alternates that year, so we didn’t go to Seoul, but the experience, the training and the European Tour afterwards set me up for the 1990 World Equestrian Games in Stockholm, Sweden,” Marie said.

In addition to having success representing her country, Marie was busy with her life—marriage, a business, teaching lessons and clinics.
