The 2003 Winter Equestrian Festival
Wellington, Florida – January 3, 2003 -- With over $3 Million in prize money at stake, The 2003 Winter Equestrian Festival (“WEF”) promises to be one of the most highly competitive in its 31-year history. Produced by founder Eugene R. Mische and Stadium Jumping, Inc., WEF is the horse show of all horse shows in the U. S. Over 4,000 horses and 6,000 people (riders, trainers, owners and grooms) will be added to the Wellington population during this time.
Commencing on Wednesday, January 22, 2003 at The Palm Beach Polo Equestrian Club in Wellington, the best horses and riders in the world in the equestrian disciplines of hunters, jumpers, equitation and dressage will square off against the very best of their peers. The hunter, jumper and equitation horses will compete in Wellington for seven weeks through Sunday, March 9, 2003, with the last dressage competition takes place during the week of March 13th.
Spectators can expect to enjoy classes for all age groups and discipline interests. And with as many as seven rings going at any one time, there will be something for every member of the family. There will be hunter, jumper and equitation classes for children and junior riders, mounted on ponies and small/large horses. Adult amateurs of all ages will be represented in hunter, jumper and equitation classes. The professional and advanced amateur riders will dominate the competition in pre-green, green and regular hunter divisions as well as at many levels of the jumper classes. The dressage competitions, with elegance and grace, will captivate all audiences.
When it’s time to take a break from the varied competitions, spectators can browse amongst the many eclectic boutiques or grab a bite from one of the multi-ethnic food tents. And there’s always a place to sit, as ringside seating is plentiful.

4-H event
"How to talk horse talk and train better," will be demonstrated by internationally known author/trainer Don Blazer at the 12th annual Trumbull County 4-H Equine Development symposium slated for Saturday, March 8.
Blazer will explain how horse behavior can be modified by using the horse's natural instincts, gaining the horse's respect and eliciting his desire for praise and acceptance by his trainer. Blazer will ride local horses, demonstrating how the techniques are applied. Blazer's presentation will begin at 1 p.m. at the Trumbull Career & Technical Center in Champion, OH.
Open to the public, there is no admission fee. There will be a new and used tack sale. All proceeds from the event will benefit the Trumbull County 4-H. The event is being co-sponsored by the Western Reserve Farm Cooperative.

horse The Sorraia Horse
When the Sorraia horse was discovered in 1920, few could believe that a wild horse subspecies could have survived that long in Europe. A few decades earlier, the Mongolian wild horse had been all but wiped out, with just a few specimens saved in zoological gardens, and the East European Tarpan had become extinct even earlier. There were already zoologists ready to deny the Tarpan the status of a true wild horse, just because they hadn't had a chance to study and scientifically describe the Tarpan before he vanished forever. Zoologists had ignored him until it was too late.
They were going to do the same with the Sorraia, even though the Portuguese scientist who discovered this horse, Ruy d'Andrade, did his level best to study the Sorraia, preserve him, and make the zoological community aware of him. In this respect the Sorraia shares his fate with the English Exmoor pony: although significant evidence exists for the Exmoor to be not a man-made breed, but a remnant of an ancestral wild horse, many, if not most, zoologists wouldn't hear of it. Wild horses in our civilized Europe? Come on!

Condios a "Top 10 Stallion" at the Sales
Condios, Morningside Stud's showjumping star, continued to show his value as a sire when his name appeared in the Irish Farmers Journal's list of "The top 10 stallions at the sales."
The list contains the names of the sires in Ireland whose progeny sold for the top 10% at public auction. Condios is the youngest approved stallion on the exclusive list.
It is not just Condios foals that sold for good money in 2002. In the spring a 2-year-old stallion by Condios out of a May Sherif mare sold for euro23,000. This is reputed to be the largest sum ever paid for a 2-year-old sport horse in Ireland.

U.S. Nationals Provides a Grand Finale to End of Show Season
The 36th U.S. National Arabian and Half-Arabian Championship Horse Show held October 11-18 at the Kentucky Fair and Exhibition Center in Louisville, Ky. featured the best and brightest Arabian and Half-Arabian horses from 52 different states and provinces. The International Arabian Horse Association® (IAHA®) of Aurora, Colo., produced the event. The U.S. Nationals is considered the most prestigious North American championship in the Arabian show horse industry, and this year's flagship event offered fun, excitement and beautiful Arabian, Half-Arabian and Anglo-Arabian horses. When the final numbers were tallied, 2, 216 horses came to Louisville. Both amateur and professional riders or handlers competed in 120 classes ranging from halter, native costume, reining, working cow, cutting, trail, dressage, show hack, hunter/jumper, sidesaddle, park, driving and English, western and hunter pleasure classes.

Four new Arabian halter classes made their debut at U.S. Nationals with the split of the stallion and mare championships into junior and senior divisions. The creation of a junior and senior championship not only gave halter fans two additional champions to root for but nearly doubled the number of mare and stallion entries overall.

horse Doubting Thomas saved by his Equitector boots
New York mounted policeman Thomas Catanzaro tells us of his experience with the Equitector Chill Master Riding Boot.
S
o far I found them good with the cold weather. The boots are very comfortable.
But I have to tell you something. I am not a fan of the steel toed boots, but yesterday I was walking my horse from the trailer to the barn after a day out on patrol when my horse stepped high over the curb and came down hard on my left toe.
I have never had a horse step on my foot so solid. There is a scuff in the leather from the stud that is welded to the bottom of the shoe but my toes were not touched.
I am sure I could have broken a toe or something worse since the horse I had yesterday was a big Quarter Horse. Did I tell you it was the first day wearing the boots. I guess that steel toe boots are not a bad idea after all.
