Gold Coast Opener Grand Prix CDI-W Provides Preview of World Dressage Masters Competitors
Monday, January 21 2013
by Editor
Wellington, FL – January 18, 2013 - Today’s Gold Coast Opener Grand Prix CDI-W showcased horses and riders preparing for next weekend’s World Dressage Masters (WDM) CDI5* Palm Beach, and the WDM competitors certainly displayed their dominance. WDM entrants swept all six ribbons in the Grand Prix, with all but one riding the horses they will compete next weekend. And if the results from today are a predictor, it seems that Sweden will be a force to be reckoned with.

A Primer on Attending a USEF Convention – by Kim MacMillan

A Primer on Attending a USEF Convention By Kim MacMillan I’d lay odds that almost none of us have ever contemplated the matrix of organization, planning and administration it takes to provide a centerline for us to trot down or a course to jump at our favorite shows and events. The United States Equestrian Federation (USEF, our national governing body for equestrian sport in the U.S.A.) just takes our dues, records our show points and e-mails us a magazine every so often, right? Well, actually, there’s a whole lot more to running the horse show world in our country

Bindle Stick – Available for Adoption!
Thursday, January 17 2013
by Editor
Meet 7 year old, 16hh Thoroughbred gelding “Bindle Stick” now available for adoption from our Marysville, OH facility! Just one look at those big, bright eyes and dainty face and you can’t help but be drawn to him as he looks over his stall gate just waiting for anyone to come down the aisle and pay attention to him. He is so adorable that you just want to squeeze him! One look at his pedigree and it is no wonder that he is smart and athletic too. He has a finer build allowing him to be very athletic and light on his feet and he is also very intelligent proving that by the way he goes to work when asked to. Bindle has shown us that he is a very confident horse as well by just trotting over the little flower boxes as if they weren’t even there and then was very proud of himself, looking around the arena to make sure everyone was watching him. He is quite the show off in turn out as well, as he very cleverly took his pasture mates halter off and proceeded to trot around the pasture swinging it around for all to see what he had done! Bindle gets along well with his turn out buddies and is the class clown of the group. His donor retired him because he believed the horse would rather be someone’s pet than a race horse anymore and that seems to be very true! Bindle raced almost every month for 3 ½ years; he had his down time and is now ready for a new career.
