Skyline, an accomplished junior jumper, was euthanized July 13 after an accident at her farm in Stevenson, Md. She was 22.

A Thoroughbred-warmblood mare, Skyline was known affectionately as “Queenie” by her owner Miriam Schulman and all who loved her. Skyline was bred by Mary Ann Steiert at Skyline Farm in North Carolina, trained by Elizabeth Solter, and purchased by 14-year-old Tolley Ewing and her father, Michael, when she was 5.

Michael Ewing originally purchased Skyline as an investment, but the one time a potential buyer tried her, the mare came up lame for the first and only time in her life. The Tolley family never showed her for sale again, and she won junior/amateur-owner jumper championships at shows throughout the 1990s.

In 2005, Skyline was donated to Garrison Forest School in Owings Mills, Md., where she was known as a challenging ride but a loyal partner.

Schulman purchased Queenie from the school in 2007 and rode her until her death in July.

“Even though we didn’t have a long partnership, it was a deep one; [she] made me want to get up every day, smile and be a better person,” said Schulman.
