It is with a great deal of sadness that we announce...the passing of Ivan Bezugloff. Ivan passed away on Friday, January 7.
Ivan was the creator and publisher of Dressage & CT the inspiration of Horses For LIFE. Ivan was so tickled by this, he had us send him a hard copy of our dedication to him from our first edition, which we were delighted to do.
Dressage & CT was the first magazine that I read where I actually felt that I was challenged and every issue offered up something new for me to ponder or to learn. Ivan was more than happy to show opposing viewpoints and I think truly enjoyed the passion that some of his contributors engaged in during these debates that we the readers got to share with.
When the magazine was closed down and sold on, we were all devastated. This was the beginning of our own magazine. While we knew we would never be another Dressage & CT, we knew that we needed to pull some thing together to fill the void that Dressage & CT and Ivan had left behind.
You will have seen many articles from Dressage & CT in our own magazine as Ivan was keen to see his work live on and was happy to see these articles reprinted with his permission. With the help of some dedicated volunteers who took the time to type up the articles from Dressage & CT, we were happy that we could ensure that many of the best articles of Dressage & CT could continue to educate and help horsemen and women everywhere. If you have some old issues or some favourite articles we can always use more help and continue to share some of this wonderful material.
Please feel free to forward your condolences and we can forward them on to his wife Natasha whom I am sure would love to hear what Dressage & CT and Ivan meant to you.
