Wednesday Video from Kentucky Performance Products: A ‘Sound of Silence’ Freestyle

By on Oct 4, 2017 5:00 pm -

Prepare to be mesmerized. During Dressage at Devon last week, Jacqueline Brooks and D Niro, an 18-year-old Swedish Warmblood gelding owned by Mary Brooks and Brookhaven Dressage Inc., performed an FEI Grand Prix Freestyle to Disturbed’s powerful cover of the Simon and Garfunkle original, “The Sound of Silence.”

The performance earned them a 70.875 for third place. More notably, their performance was a contrast of the typical freestyle, which is often a mix of different songs or sounds spliced together to match a pattern.

Jacqueline worked with a professional to adjust the tempo of the music but otherwise performed through an entire song that spoke to the heart and soul of the audience and the performer herself.

If you’d like to know more about the development of this freestyle and the story behind it, Heels Down Magazine got the scoop: “I Think It’s the Future” Jacquie Brooks Brings Innovative Freestyle to Dressage at Devon.

It’s why we do what we do.

Fight back against colic and digestive upset

Neigh-Lox Advanced provides a scientifically advanced blend of ingredients that work synergistically to maintain your horse’s digestive tract in peak condition by supporting both the gastrointestinal tissues and the beneficial bacteria that populate the gut.  Maintaining a healthy digestive tract reduces the risk of colonic and gastric ulcers, colic, laminitis related to hind-gut acidosis, and oxidative stress that damages digestive tract tissues themselves.  Horses with a well-balanced GI tract have good appetites, absorb more nutrients from their diets, maintain a strong immune system, and stay healthier.

It is why the horse that matters to you matters to us. Not sure which horse supplement best meets your horse’s needs? We are here to help. Contact Kentucky Performance Products, LLC at 859-873-2974 or visit our website at KPPusa.com.

 

 

In Loving Memory of Roxanne Green

The eventing community lives and breathes like a family, and we are saddened to share the loss of one of our own, Roxanne Green who passed away suddenly on Sunday. Roxanne was the daughter of Edy Rameika, a longtime, avid supporter of eventing. Pulled in by her mom’s love for the sport, Roxanne found herself along for the ride from the beginning.

Edy has been a loyal owner and supporter of Sara Kozumplik Murphy for nearly two decades, and Roxanne shared her mother’s passion for horses. As a young girl, she toted Breyer horses across the country as she traveled to competitions with Sara before growing up to get in the saddle herself. She even shared the ride on some of Sara’s top horses including her four-star partner As You Like It.

She evented for years before marrying Nathaniel Green in 2012, with whom she had two young children. Roxanne had just begun riding again as the children started school.

“Everyone can see how beautiful you were on the outside, Roxanne, that’s easy. What is hard to explain to people that weren’t lucky enough to know you is how truly kind, generous, and empathetic you were to everyone,” Sara shared in a tribute to Roxanne.

“Lots of us work hard to be the best version of ourselves. To be the kind of person that treats everyone with an open heart and a helping hand regardless of how frustrating or difficult it might be. You never struggled with that. It would have been impossible for you to be any other way. You are the best version of all of us.

“Watching you grow up and have two beautiful children of your own has been surreal. Seems like five minutes ago you and Nadine were traveling all over the country with me with your Breyer horses in their own little wheelie suitcase. I thought I was so grown up then. Your poor Mum just took on another kid and was kind enough to make it seem like I was steering my own destiny. You know how she is? Can’t help taking care of everyone in her world. Like mother, like daughter.”

Edy has been a loyal owner and supporter of Sara’s program for nearly two decades. Together, the two created an owner’s award through the Professional Rider’s Organization (now Event Riders Association of North America) to recognized owners, like Edy, who go above and beyond. The As You Like It Owners Award has been given annually since 2006. 

Owners are the backbone of eventing. Oftentimes, it’s more than a business relationship, as the lines blur and owners become family, and this is the case for Sara. Edy and her family have become Sara’s family, and for her, they are what make it all possible.

“Trying to keep your head above water as an event rider is extremely hard day to day, never mind building a future for yourself. It is impossible to most of the world unless you have owners that are as passionate (or as foolish) as you,” Sara commented. “We owe the existence of our sport to them. Passionate event enthusiasts like Edy are an extremely rare breed, sticking through the shatteringly low times with unwavering support on every level. These people become family.”

“A lot of event owners like Edy support programs behind the scenes, but the main way they build our sport is by supporting our horses. When riders are worrying how to pay the hay bill, they don’t have the time or energy to help others get a leg up. Our owners have a huge impact on the sport as a whole this way, not just the upper levels.”

Roxanne was a mother, a wife, a daughter, a friend and so much more. Please join us in sending condolences to Edy, Sara and all who love Roxanne Green.

Tamie Smith, Jordan Linstedt & Alexis Helffrich Receive USET Jacqueline Mars Grants

We are excited to share the news that three west coast riders have been selected to receive Jacqueline B. Mars National Competition and Training Grants!

These grants are given to help offset travel costs for athletes who have shown potential to represent the United States in future international competition. Tamie Smith, Jordan Linstedt and Alexis Helffrich will all travel across the country to compete in the CCI3* at The Dutta Corp. Fair Hill International next week, Oct. 12-15.

Fair Hill winner in 2015, Tamie Smith has three entries next weekend: Judy McSwain’s Fleeceworks Royal and Kevin Baumgardner’s Wembley will compete in the three-star and Sunsprite Warmblood’s Sunsprite Syrius in the two-star. She’s already made the trek to the east coast, competing at Stable View last weekend where she finished 8th and 15th in the Advanced with Fleeceworks Royal and Wembley, respectively.

“It’s a huge honor to be able to receive a grant like this,” she said. “It’s really beneficial because we’re away from our businesses while traveling, and to be away for a month to go to the East Coast across the country is not only financially taxing but also hard on our businesses as well.

“You feel like you’re picking the right horses and doing the right things when you get validation by receiving a grant like this so it’s really exciting. I’m very honored and very excited. Thank you to Jacqueline Mars for the investment she’s put into the sport. It really means a lot to have been a recipient of something like this.”

Jordan Linstedt and Revitavet Capato. Photo by Leslie Threlkeld.

Jordan Linstedt and her own & Barbara Linstedt’s Revitavet Capato are proven pairs at this level, winning the Bromont CCI3* this spring. This pair finished 7th in the Advanced at the American Eventing Championships before also completing the CIC3* at Plantation Field where they finished 14th.

Jordan has produced Capato from the beginning, and she says after Fair Hill she has plans to compete him overseas in 2018. At 25, this is her first major grant, and she sees it as a reflection of all the hard work put in.

“It’s unbelievable to get the opportunity to do what I love to do and travel. Hopefully I can utilize those funds to get the best coaching and training that I might not have been able to get before. Now I feel like I can be as best prepared as possible to have the best result at Fair Hill.”

Alexis Helffrich is an up-and-coming rider who is slated to compete in the CCI3* with Pamela William’s London Town. Originally from France, Alexis is now based in Pleasanton, California.

He and London Town finished 4th in the CIC3* at Rebecca Farm, and 8th in the Advanced at Twin Rivers two weeks ago. Fair Hill will be this pair’s first CCI3*.

We would like to wish these riders good luck next weekend! And a huge thank you goes to Jacqueline Mars and the USET Foundation for helping our riders so they can focus on the competition.

Weekly OTTB Wishlist from Cosequin: Thoroughbred Makeover Edition

By on Oct 4, 2017 10:00 am -

Logan’s Money (Stored –Moneyaswespeak by His Majesty): 2013 16.1-hand West Virginia bred gelding

This handsome four-year-old may not have really taken to racing, earning $2,157 in 8 starts after which he retired sound with no injuries, but his trainer Sarah Davis says he certainly has an affinity for jumping. This gelding is “as laid back as a baby can get” and has done some jumper shows and schooling horse trials. During cross country schooling he’s shown to be a natural jumper and quite brave.

U. S. Hardened (United States – Hard and Fast, by Fortunate Prospect): 2014 17.0-hand Pennsylvania bred gelding

This gentle giant is described by his trainer as “an extremely kind and quiet gentleman” and he’ll be competing in both the eventing and show jumping competitions at the Makeover under a junior rider. The gelding has been easily schooling up to 2’9″ and is showing promise in the sandbox as well, having earned a mark of 31 in his last Beginner Novice test.

After his short racing career of only 6 starts and $2,397 in earning, U.S. Hardened returned to the farm that he was foaled at to begin his Makeover training. His connections are now looking to find him the perfect home for his second career!

Country Ranger (U S Ranger – Wild Country, by Unbridled): 2013 16.1-hand Kentucky bred gelding

This horse shares a barn name with one of the greats – that’s got to be promising, right? “Reggie” was deemed to be too slow in race training and came off the track with no starts. He has no know issues and doing well barefoot. His trainer says he’s one of her favorite rides of the day and even hacks out quietly bareback and in a halter. Reggie has already competed in a few mini-trials and his trainer attributes his quick progress to his good work ethic, quick learning, and sensibleness.

Something for Everyone at Excell Equestrian

Balancing a personal life (or a resemblance of one, at least) and a professional riding career is not a task for the faint of heart. For Auburn Excell Brady of San Juan Capistrano, it’s all a juggling act that she’s happy to take on in order to find success within the sport of eventing, and it’s an opportunity to give riders of all ages and levels an opportunity to succeed with horses.

Auburn currently operates out of two facilities in San Juan Capistrano, Sycamore Trails and The Oaks. The Oaks was a recent addition to her program, adding another top quality facility with which to attract more clientele.

And her clientele is anything but colorless. Auburn spends her time coaching up and coming young riders, adult amateurs and Pony Club kids because she feels it is vital to encourage people of all walks of life to experience eventing.

“I was always really interested in Pony Club because of the horsemanship and horse management aspect of it,” Auburn says. “I really appreciated that these kids were learning and getting an education about horses. I wanted my riders to gain more knowledge about horsemanship, having a couple of hours each week to study and learn together in a group is developing knowledge and a skill set as well as a fun bonding opportunity.”

She now operates Excell Equestrian’s Pony Club Riding Center out of the Sycamore Trails facility, and with the help of assistant trainers Stephanie Atkinson and Rebecca Farley the program is thriving with kids who are hungry to learn everything they can about horsemanship and riding. The well-oiled machine also runs thanks to the help of Joanne Thorman, who keeps everything running smoothly at the barn as well as with the Pony Club, with the help of the parents of the Pony Club kids.

“This team really allows me to focus on moving forward with my goal of finding a partner I can ride at the upper levels,” Auburn said. “It really helps me balance all the aspects of running a competition barn and creates an environment for success for everyone involved. I have found that I need a good team of professionals to help steer the ship!”

With the addition of The Oaks to her facility roster, Auburn plans to have a select group of clients and horses that train out of the state of the art farm. “My plan is to train and prepare the competition horses at The Oaks — it’s just a great facility that caters to the equestrian world. I really enjoy gathering inspiration from other professionals. It’s also great because we have access to training with (show jump riders Joie Gatlin and Morley Abey), who are masters of their disciplines. I really appreciate them bringing me to The Oaks and all of their show jumping coaching.” Auburn also works with Wilma Blakely for her dressage, ensuring that her education is as well-rounded as it can be.

“Sycamore Trails will continue to have the training and Pony Club program out of it, so there is literally something for everyone with our program.”

What is the recipe for success when it comes to balancing so many plates in the air? “It really comes down to having a team of good people,” Auburn says. “I try to be really consistent with the team so that everyone knows what to expect, and I try to be really clear with parents about their child’s progress and expectations. We make a plan each week and we communicate really well so that everything can run as smoothly as possible.”

“I have definitely had to learn to be patient,” she continues. “I am all about developing partnerships, both with my horses and with my team, and that is a process that takes time. I’m a goal driven person — I’m still looking for my horse of a lifetime to take on that top level. But I have to be realistic and know how to manage my business here to set myself up.”

Auburn is also quick to credit her husband, Sean Brady, who has stood by her side in solidarity through thick and thin and the normal, unpredictable ups and downs of the horse world. “I really couldn’t do any of this without his support, I got really lucky,” she says.

At the end of the day, Auburn has learned how to scrap her way through to achieve her goals. An upcoming trip to Argentina looms to find some new prospective competition horses, and her business continues to grow. She has found a way to pursue her personal competition goals while also helping others start the journey in which she found so much satisfaction many years ago.

It takes a lot of hay to keep a Thoroughbred charity running. With almost 3 million pounds of hay per year required to keep the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation operating, it can take a village to get what they need. The Geoffrey Hughes Foundation has kindly agreed to match up to $50,000 in donations, so it’s up to us to help the TRF meet their fundraising goal. [Donate to the HayDrive]

SmartPak Product of the Day: I’ve gone through a lot of icing products in an effort to find what works best for me and my horse and after a lot of time and money, I settled on Jack’s Whirlpool Boots. They don’t take too much ice or water, the horses stand in them great after they learn they aren’t scary, and nothing gets the legs colder than straight ice and water. [SmartPak]

Who Jumped It Best? Stable View Monster Corner Edition

By on Oct 3, 2017 1:00 pm -

You couldn’t help but be impressed walking up to the open corner at fence 14 at the Stable View Oktoberfest Advanced Horse Trials. The angle of the front rail is extreme and the ground line (the narrow block on the left) seems miles away from the landing side. However, the generous placement of mums on take-off softens it a tad bit.

While this fence may have seemed impossibly wide, but there were few problems and horses jumped it very well. There was no option, but riders had a couple of choices should they have a stop or runout. Most re-approached and used the flowers as a ground line, reducing the width of the corner but wasting precious seconds on the clock. Another rider went through the wide side of the corner and jumped the flagged rail as an upright.

It was such an exciting fence to watch, and now it’s your turn to decide Who Jumped It Best? We realize not every photo shows every horse at the same moment in the air, but we’re showing you the best frame for each horse. For this edition, we ask that you consider style, form and “wow factor” when you choose the best overall picture.

Vote for your favorite in the poll at the bottom of this post. Go Eventing.

Canada Gaining New FEI Event at Foshay in New Brunswick in 2018

By on Oct 3, 2017 11:00 am -

Team Foshay International: Deanna Phelan, president of the New Brunswick Equestrian Association; Jay Hambly, cross country course designer; Sue Ockendon, technical delegate; and Rob Stevenson, Foshay Organizing Committee.

Canada is poised to gain another FEI event next year at Foshay Farms in Lower Jemseg, New Brunswick. Running over Labor Day weekend in 2018, August 30-Sept. 2, Foshay International has applied to host a CCI*, as well as the FEI’s new proposed 1.05-meter division.

It’s a longtime dream realized for Rob Stevenson, chair of the Equestrian Canada High Performance Advisory Group, whose family is deeply rooted in the New Brunswick equestrian tradition. His grandparents hosted the Fredericton Horse Show for several decades, with his parents holding shows at their Foshay Farms for more than 20 years.

These shows launched Rob’s own competitive career, which saw him represent Canada at the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, where he finished 22nd individually riding Risky Business. Since then he has served within Canadian eventing in a variety of different capacities, including sitting on the High Performance Committee from 2001 to 2004. He joined the FEI’s Risk Management Steering Group in 2016.

“It is through my involvement with the national team and the FEI that I have come to realize the impact of so few international eventing competitions in Canada,” Rob said. “There is a clear association between success in international competitions leading to further success at the highest levels of the sport. When we consider the developmental pathway for equestrian athletes in Canada, there is a large gap.”

Rob purchased a portion of his family’s farm 15 years ago in the hopes that one day he could host an FEI competition at the site. The new event at Foshay will join Bromont as the only other venue in Canada that currently hosts FEI divisions. Bromont is located in southwestern Quebec, while Foshay is in southern New Brunswick, which hugs the eastern border of Maine.

“I have ridden on the land my entire life. It’s an inspiring place to ride, an experience that I have always wanted to share with more people,” Rob said. “As many equestrian venues in Eastern Canada and in New England are being lost without succession plans, it seems as though this is an ideal time to launch this type of event here in New Brunswick. We’re about eight hours from Boston, and I hope close enough to appeal to the large number of eventers in Area I looking for FEI events.”

Hurricane Arthur toppled several trees on the property in 2014, which course designer Jay Hambly is eyeing for cross country jumps.

Foshay International is already off to a strong start with Jay Hambly on board as the cross country course designer, and Sue Ockendon at the helm as technical delegate. Jay was recently named to the course building team for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, while Sue is the longtime organizer of Bromont.

“In the organization of these events, nothing replaces experience,” Rob said. “No amount of good intention could replace the vast experience that Jay and Sue bring from in running events around the world.”

Jay visited the site last month to lay out the courses, which will be open, galloping tracks tacking advantage of the beautiful rolling hills at the site. Hurricane Arthur downed several large trees on the property in 2014 which will now be repurposed as cross country jumps

Ultimately Rob hopes Foshay International will serve as a springboard for up-and-coming Canadian athletes to gain the experience needed to one day compete on the world stage and represent their country.

“I believe that to succeed at the international levels, we need to compete consistently at the international levels. I believe that we need to connect our developing riders with FEI events for them to excel on a global scale,” Rob said. “With Sue and Jay’s belief that this will be a great event, with a horse and rider friendly venue on great footing, we are excited to welcome competitors to our inaugural event in 2018.”

Much more information will be coming soon on Foshay International, but be sure to mark your calendars now for the inaugural event on Aug. 30-Sept. 2, 2018. You can sign up to receive updates at www.foshayinternational.com. Go Eventing.
