horse 5th Annual Work to Ride Polo Fund-raiser
By Lezlie Hiner
Before an exuberant crowd of over 250 people Work to Ride (“WTR”) held the 5th Annual Polo Fund-raiser. Large yellow tents graced the sidelines while pokeymon characters wandered among the crowd and painted children’s faces and handed out brightly colored balloons. Between chukkas a jazz trio played eclectic tunes.
The Fairmount Park Polo field is among the oldest in the United States with trees lining the field on all four sides to provide shade for the spectators and trailers. The field lay dormant for 43 years following WW II. Since Work to Ride found a home at Chamounix Stables the field is once again active with polo alive and growing in Philadelphia. The polo gods, while raining out the original fund-raising event, threatened to rain out the event once again but ended up smiling on the day with occasional breaks of sun and temperate weather.
Work to Ride is a non-profit equestrian program for urban youth at risk in Philadelphia. Adopted by the Cowtown Polo club and Valley Forge Military Academy, WTR youth play grass polo in the summer and Interscholastic Polo in the fall and winter. Raising funds for the WTR program is a major focus for the annual event. However, for the young participants, it is an opportunity to play before a hometown crowd.

horse San Patrignano CSI-A: Emile Hendrix, the ”senator” of international equestrian sports, wins the Infostrada Grand Prix – “Vincenzo Muccioli” Challenge
The 5th edition of the San Patrignano International Show jumping, “Vincenzo Muccioli” Challenge, came to a triumphant end, as in a beautiful story, with the victory of the Dutch top rider Emile Hendrix, on the extraordinary chestnut jumper Audi’s Finesse. Hendrix, performing a double clear with the fastest course in the second round, (43.76), gained the Infostrada Grand Prix, the most important class of the event, dedicated to the memory of the San Patrignano founder. The Dutch rider gave the whole community a precious success, considering that this year he was the new technical advisor of the show. It was an exciting and hard fought competition until the end; 39 combinations were on the starting line and only 10 of them were admitted to the second round: eight riders went clear on the first course while the Argentine rider Wertheim and Urs Fah from Switzerland got a slight time fault.

ELLENVILLE, NY (July 22, 2001)-U.S. Olympic Team Silver Medallist Leslie Howard, 44, of Westport, Connecticut, aboard Nick of Diamonds, was the fastest of five double-clears to win the $100,000 Avis Grand Prix at HITS Catskills III today, besting a field of 22 that included another three U.S. Olympians-Nona Garson, Peter Leone, and Todd Minikus. Sydney Team Alternate Minikus, 39, had four clear for today's jump-off, including his Olympic mount Oh Star, but the win eluded him. "It only takes one horse to win," said Howard, who rode only the single entry in today's class. "My horse is extremely fast. If he keeps the jumps up, I don't think there's a faster horse in the country. His ground tempo is so quick and he turns so quickly. When Oh Star had problems, I knew that if I kept the jumps up, I had a good chance."

The Belgian rider, riding his top horse Ivoor, has in fact doubled his afternoon success by winning the last competition of the day, a speed class with the Derby formula (natural fences – ditch and water jump - and traditional fences). Mathy, before the ceremony, expressed his satisfaction about his results and declared: “I hope this is some kind of “déjavu”. Even last year I first won the speed class with the Derby formula and then I won the Grand Prix. Today has been my lucky day; tomorrow night I hope I’ll be in the condition to say, my god that was my lucky weekend. Besides tonight among the audience there were the owner of my horses, my father and my girlfriend. And that made everything even more beautiful.”

Curly Haired Fox Trotters - Missouri Fox Trotters for Folks Allergic to Horses
Yes, it is true. There are curly haired, registered Missouri Fox Trot horses which are hypoallergenic for people allergic to horses. I know, because we're Curly Fox Trotter breeders, and I've seen, with my own eyes, many allergy sufferers able to touch, groom, and ride our horses with no allergic reaction.
horse
Genetically there are 2 different kinds of curly coat Missouri Fox Trotter horses. One kind is curly because of a recessive curly gene, the other because of a dominant Curly gene.
The comfort of riding a fox trotting horse makes this type of Curly very appealing, especially to those with bad backs, injuries, or those who are just getting a bit older. Our horses combine the best of both worlds. Curly horse lovers still enjoy owning a rare and unique horse, and since the horses also have MFTHBA papers, they have much broader breeding choices - there are many more Missouri Fox Trotters to breed with than Curly horses. And with Fox Trotter clubs in many states, they can take advantage of those social and showing opportunities as well.
If you know an allergic horse lover, tell them they need suffer no more. They can have it all - a beautiful Missouri Fox Trotting Horse to take them down the trail without sneezing, watery eyes, or rash!
