We knew that there had been a fast clear from ©Kate Kosnoff Jennifer, so we just tried to be efficient in the turns and everything came up really nicely. I almost did one less (stride) than I was supposed to going to the last jump, but thankfully Victer helped me out there. He tried his heart out today, and I could not be happier with him.” Remarking on her round with the 14-year-old Brandenburg gelding (Levisto x San Juan) Pumped Up Kicks, Gates noted, “I did this week in preparation for the five-star next week with Kix. After the four-star a few weeks ago, he has had a little bit of a break, which is nice. “Going into the jump-off, I wanted to try to work on my turns,” Gates explain- ed. “I am usually really slow in jump-offs. I was just glad to have a clear round, and I knew somebody would probably catch me. I was really happy; I feel like I worked on what I wanted to in preparation for next week.” Third place finisher Alex Matz was aboard Cashew CR, a nine-year-old Hols- teiner gelding (Cassini II x Quinar) that he got last summer. “He is relatively new, and he is just sort of coming into his own right now,” Matz said of his mount. “It has taken a while for us to mesh, but he has tried tremendously every round for me. He has all the ability in the world, and he has been really a great new horse.” Eugenio Garza and Victer Finn DH Z won the $35,000 Hollow Creek Farm Under 25 While Matz was competing in only his third Under 25 event, Gates and Garza Grand Prix. ©Sportfot each have more experience in the series. For Garza, this is his third year competing in the classes and a great opportunity for both horse and rider. It was a win for Mexico in Saturday’s $35,000 Hollow Creek Farm Under 25 “We really like the series, and the grand prix is a great class for us,” Garza Series Grand Prix at the 2017 Winter Equestrian Festival, as Eugenio Garza and stated. “Even more so this year now that the grand prix are ranking classes [in El Milagro’s Victer Finn DH Z topped a field of 49 starters jumping a course set the U25 Series].

Born in 1940, the Florida native is an innovating show jumper and racing jockey. Kusner was a member of the United States Olympic Show Jumping Team in the 1964 Games in Tokyo, the 1968 Games in Mexico City, and again in the 1972 Games in Munich, where the team won the silver medal. After a successful legal case St. George Farm in 1968, Kusner became the first licensed female jockey and went on to compete in recognized flat and timber races. In 635 Iron Works Pike, Lexington KY 40511 addition to being an accomplished equestrian, Kusner has a long list of other interests including aviation and running. She is St GeorGe Farm iS a StunninG 94-acre Farm conveniently a licensed pilot and has completed over 120 marathons. Nowadays, Kusner resides in California, teaches clinics, is a horse expert witness, and is the founder and chairman of Horses in the Hood, a program that brings minority children to an equine located approximately 6 mileS From the KentucKy horSe parK camp.

In the old days it looked like a mud pile, now it’s gorgeous. WW: DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE EQUESTRIAN MEMORY? Kusner: I don’t have a favorite one, there are a lot really. For me though, to go to the Olympic Games was incredible. I went three times, and I was so interested because of everything else that happens at the Olympic Games. We stayed at the Olympic Village, and we’d get our work done early in morning. Then, I would be doing other things like following the track team around. In Munich, I got two of the boxers to come out to the stables and meet the horses. They were two guys from Philadelphia that had never even seen a horse and were scared. I had to take their hands and stroke the horses’ muzzles with my hand over their hand while they stood back as far as they could. Things like that were always fun. WW: CAN YOU TALK ABOUT ONE OF YOUR MANY OTHER INTERESTS OUTSIDE OF HORSES? Kusner: I used to be a runner, but that is sort of over now because I’m 100 years old. I used to run a lot of marathons and ultra marathons. I enjoy running because it’s fun. I’m just a very average runner, but I love exploring Kathy Kusner. ©Emily Riden and I love identifying the native plants, birds, and reptiles. When running trails in different places, you’re seeing different species and trying to identify them. I’ve got a lot of bird and native plant books. WW: DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR YOUNG PROFESSIONALS IN THE EQUESTRIAN INDUSTRY? Kusner: Keep doing what you’re doing. My advice is very logical: know as much as you can, do as much as you can, be honest, be available to your clients, and be a nice person.
