PA Race Horse Sale at Mountain Springs Arena

Wed, 26 Aug 2009 11:29:33 -0500

Mountain Springs Arena in Shartlesville, PA was the latest venue our company sought out to promote our listings during a race horse sale on August 23, 2009. Quite a good crowd turned out and some lovely horse flesh was being auctioned off. There were a few unruly colts who gave their handlers a run for their money but for the most part I was surprised how well behaved these often flighty horses were (tranquilizers anyone?). Rich Miller put on a good event and owns an impressive number of Thoroughbreds himself. The auction was held in the commercial sized indoor arena complete with a beverage bar, fans to help keep the crowd cool and flower baskets to brighten up the sales ring. As proof that the word got around about this sale, I met a trainer from Chicago who was scoping out the area for his clients who were looking to make a move to PA to take advantage of the PA bred incentives. The last time I was at Mountain Springs it was to watch a rodeo about 18 years ago. At that time it seemed so far away but as my company has expanded its service area to counties beyond the Lehigh Valley and the Poconos, this time it seemed rather local.

Finding my Horse in Oregon

Wed, 29 Jul 2009 17:31:58 -0500

Last August I lost my beloved riding partner and company mascot, Cosette, to dreaded colic. Since then I have been looking for another horse and a good many hours were spent on the Internet searching for my next mount which had to be a Lusitano or Andalusian. Last September my husband accompanied me to Northern Vermont to look at a 3 year old Lusitano which had just been started under saddle. Sadly after making the long car trip up there the horse was displaying a head-shaking type problem which turned me off. After that I stayed more local for a while looking at a few horses in NJ, none of which struck my fancy. The winter was cold and my desire to start a young horse at that time was non-existent. Then once spring arrived with all its flowery splendor, my passion to ride started to make its strong presence once again known. Realizing to find my dream horse I may have to travel to the west coast where the Iberian horse is more prevalent I started to expand my search. Through much networking a breeder in Kentucky told me about a breeder in Oregon who was liquidating her herds. With a lot of persistence on my end to gather more information, I was convinced I would find my next horse there since they had a fair amount of horses for sale. I booked my flight and traveled to Oregon in the middle of June. It was a wonderful trip. From Newark, NJ I went to Salt Lake City then flew into a tiny 2 gate airport in Lewiston Idaho which was the closest airport to my destination, Lostine, Oregon. I traveled 2 hours by car on a very windy road along steep cliffs. Luck was on my side as the road was free of the sometimes occasional boulder which would roll down and block the way so I was told. Having no cell phone coverage would have made it a bit more of an adventure than I cared to experience. Anyway the weather was picture perfect and I arrived in Lostine in no time. The views along the way of this pristine countryside were glorious (sans developments, strip malls or condo buildings). The folks where the sale horses were being kept were delightful and the owner/seller showed me Amatoro first as he knew this horse had the movement for dressage. Right from the start I really liked his calm eye and disposition, sensitive nature and lovely movement but coming from over 3,000 miles away I wanted to see more horses. And so I did. Spending the next day with herds of Lusitanos and Andalusians on a mountain top in northern Oregon was a soul touching experience. None of the horses had been handled very much and some were extremely timid. Having the horse trot on a lead line was not going to be happening here! After seeing many prospects I decided to make an offer on Amatoro. The next day I was able to see Amatoro again which confirmed my decision that he was the horse for me. An hour later I had to head back to the airport and witnessed a cattle drive somewhere in Washington. This definitely was a charming completion to my trip as this easterner headed back home.

Another French Master Passes Away

Tue, 28 Jul 2009 11:16:16 -0500

Jack Le Goff, former US eventing coach passed away on July 24, 2009, ironically exactly 3 months after we lost Riding in Lightness Master, Jean-Claude Racinet.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Le Goff at an eventing competition in France (CCI*** Saumur). He struck me as a jolly man with a passion for the eventing sport.

Steffen Peters wins at Aachen (GER)

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 17:06:21 -0500

Hooray for an Steffen and Ravel - one of the first times I remember an American cleaning up in dressage at Aachen. He ousted Anky Van Grunsven on her Olympic mount out of the Grand Prix, the Grand Prix Freestyle and Grand Prix Special! Steffen was born and raised in Germany and migrated to the US 20 years ago so in essence he is German but he says his heart is in America.

A Tribute to Jean-Claude Racinet

Fri, 01 May 2009 23:03:15 -0500

A Farewell to my trainer...

Jean-Claude Racinet, my dressage trainer and friend sadly passed away at the age of 79 on April 25th in Lexington, KY. I received the sad call from his son, Jean-François, my Godchild, early that morning. Jean-Claude had suffered from a fall from a horse this past autumn while giving a clinic in Germany and never made a full recovery.

I had first met Jean-Claude and his wife Susan in the summer of 1989 where I took a lesson on one of his school horses in the Poconos. His methods were different from any other trainers I had known so I was skeptical at first. Even though his methods were rather unconventional, everything he had told me worked on my horse at home. To clench my devotion he showed me a video of a Quarter Horse, Sizzlin, he had trained to the Grand Prix level. The passage and piaffe he put on this horse were undeniably impressive. It didn't take long before I became a devoted student organizing clinics in NJ, NY &; PA once he moved back down south. He spent many hours in the car on our way to and fro clinics and late at night after the lessons telling me about the French masters and history of the French School. What cherished memories.

Jean-Claude was passionate about horses and riding. 'Riding in Lightness' was his brand, mantra, trademark if you will. This was his life blood that would keep him from soundly sleeping at night he would tell me. He was a genius both on and off horse back. Want to know about history or politics, he would clue you in, the NY Times cross-word puzzle was his specialty, manipulation of the horse's spine to relieve subluxations, Jean-Claude through thousands of hours of studying and conversations with a French vet-osteopath, had it figured out. I remember meeting him and Susan at Fair Hill, MD where race horse owners had hired him to work on their horse's vertebra blockings. Yes, he was that good.

One of my most memorable lessons was trying to feel the 3 beat canter on horse back. Jean-Claude suggested I listen to Beethoven's Symphony #7 which contains a perfect 3 beat movement. I did and it helped! In fact a 5 week stay as a working student at the Racinet residence in South Carolina back in the early 90s, opened my soul to classical music (Mozart and Beethoven were his favorites). Thank you Jean-Claude for sharing this passion with me. I remember driving back to NJ blasting Symphony # 9 in the car - he would have been proud of me.

A true victory for Jean-Claude was that towards the end of this life, he was giving numerous clinics in Germany, "enemy camp", as he would have jokingly referred to in the past. And it is an irony, almost like a Shakespearean tragedy, that this is also where he had the fall that eventually led to his demise. Show Jumping legend, George Morris, a proponent of the French School, couldn't believe this in fact when I told him. I had to repeat it a few times.

And then there is Susan, his devoted and loving wife. I do believe if it wasn't for her, Jean-Claude wouldn't have lived to see almost 80 years of age. She was always there for him, admired him and I know how much he loved her. When staying at their place I would notice how he would fret when she had left the house to go shopping for example. If she didn't come home when expected he would get nervous thinking something had happened to her. When away from home giving clinics he was always in touch with her. He was a lucky man to have Susan at his side even during his last breath so I am told.

To this day, Jean-Claude was for sure an influence in my life and his teachings will remain at the core of my riding.

Adieu le maître et mon cher ami...

Cindy

A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, May 9, at Pen Merryl Farm in Greenville, VA. Memorial contributions may be made to Jean-François Racinet. The family will receive friends at the home. Arrangements are by Harrison Funeral Home & Crematory.

Steffen Peters wins the Grand Prix at the World Cup Final

Fri, 17 Apr 2009 17:08:31 -0500

Thanks to universalsports.comwe can watch the World Cup Final in Las Vegas in real time and yesterday's Grand Prix dressage was as good as it gets (at least for one of the US riders). Steffen Peters on Ravel, won the class - the first time an American won a leg of the dressage final on US soil (by 4 points no less). What a joy to watch their flawless test! I always heard that the zig zags were extremely difficult and Robert Dover, who was doing the commentary, said most of the previous combinations couldn't nail them down but Steffen and Ravel did them perfectly. It really was quite spectacular - what precision and harmony.

At my job at the USEF I have had the pleasure of working with Steffen several times with making his entries into international competitions in Europe. He is quite reserved and uncomplicated. At the WEG in Aachen 2006 I went on my own dime but because I played a role with the accreditation and entries I got a pass and was able to hang out with the staff and riders. One afternoon I ended up at the rider hotel and was standing outside when Steffen noticed me standing there and offered me a ride to the show grounds, clearly where he and Shannon, his wife, were headed. This was a few hours before the musical freestyle and he (riding Floriano) was our only hope for a possible medal so you can imagine the stress he must have been under. Yet he still offered me a ride.

CONGRATULATIONS STEFFEN & AKIKO YAMAZAKI ! (owner)

Horse Lovers Flock to the Allentown Horse Expo

Fri, 17 Apr 2009 12:05:52 -0500

April 4, 2009 proved to be too windy and chilly of a day for riding but it didn't keep over 3,000 horse enthusiasts away from the Eastern PA Horse Expo held at the Allentown Fairgrounds. A brainchild of Bill and Noelle Vander Brink of Bucks County Equestrian, this new Expo had all the makings of success. Aside from a strategic advertising campaign, the vendor booths were professionally installed and sold-out, I might add. The venue was in the hub of a city yet close enough to the country to draw horse people out from their farms and a radio station was on site broadcasting live adding a flavor of excitement and further promoting the event.

Outdoor demonstrations were given by Amanda Enwright from Black Horse Stables, JC Cutting Horses and Patrick King.

My dear friend and avid equestrian, Donna Foulk of Penn State Co-operative Office, was on hand to give a talk on hay quality and toxic plants and Cheyenne Mease of HealthHeartSoul lectured on The Mind-Body Energy Connection related to equestrian performance.

If you missed out on this expo you can look forward to two more in the fall. The Delaware Valley Horse Expo and the Lehigh Valley Horse Expo. We'll see you there! www.cshorseproperties.com
