Guenter Seidel called his first CDI Grand Prix freestyle with Equirelle “conservative.” The judges thought otherwise, awarding the 12-year-old Dutch Warmblood mare (Florett AS—Orchidee T, Donnerhall) 75.83% and the blue ribbon in the CDI4* on Jan. 31 during the third week of the Adequan Global Dressage Festival in Wellington, Florida. “It was our first freestyle,” […]

Two weeks ago Ben Ebeling cantered down centerline in his first senior Grand Prix CDI class at the Adequan Global Dressage Festival. Not content to merely score 70%, on Jan. 28, he and Illuster Van De Kampert went one better to score their first win in the CDI3* Grand Prix for the Special (71.80%) in […]
Cairo has decent feet. I mean, we live in Oregon where her turnout is mud half the year, and she generally (knock on wood) keeps her shoes on. My last OTTB, Baby Huey, had big but thin-walled, thin-soled feet. My farrier, Jim Chenoweth, used to cross himself before nailing Huey’s shoes. And when I would […]
Name: Susi Hupp Age: 38 Occupation: Pediatric cardiac intensive care doctor Last March, Susi Hupp was on her way to the barn with a friend when her doctor called with results from her biopsy.

Pam Rush (née Turbow) remembers being mesmerized every time she watched War Dress canter around a course. “She was just one of those horses that loved the show ring,” Rush recalled. “She’s kind of like Rox Dene. She did her job beautifully over and over again.” Though her father, Morton Turbow, had purchased a promising […]
Monday, 4:30 a.m. I am in Virginia, and I am awake. 4:30 a.m. seems to be my usual wake-up time these days, even on a day when I don’t need to be awake this early. I’m a terrible sleeper, which is irritating, but since I’ve got a few hours until my flight leaves, I start […]

Brian Gonzales and Guy McElvain, owners of HIPICO Santa Fe, announced Jan. 25 that the facility has been listed for sale. Gonzales and McElvain purchased the property in 2015 and began hosting hunter/jumper and dressage competitions as well as polo matches and horsemanship clinics. In addition, it is home to the New Mexico Center for […]
“Mommy, waaaaatch meeeee!” My 6-year-old son lets out a high-pitched squeal as he soars from a stack of pillows piled high on the sofa to the dog bed nine feet away on the floor. Sticking his landing perfectly, he parts his lips in a toothless grin. “That was an awesome distance Rocky, but please keep at […]
