Rosie has been coaching at the prestigious Dressageforkids.org in Wellington this past winter and comes to us highly recommended by, Lendon Gray, their renowned program director. Rosie is an exceptional instructor committed to sharing competitive dressage with juniors. Rosie Julian-Simoes has been riding since a very young age, under the watchful eye of her mother and FEI trainer, Julie Julian. Now 23, Rosie is a Grand Prix competitor and an active member of the competitive dressage community. She and her mother work out of Flying Dutchman farm in Barrington Hills, Illinois, where Rosie continues to train horses to the top levels. Rosie spends her winters in Wellington FL competing, training and teaching. This past winter Rosie has been in training with US dressage Team coach Debbie McDonald and attends clinics regularly with US young horse coach Christine Traurig. Rosie is a USDF bronze, silver, and gold medalist and has won multiple regional championships, along with other placings and year-end awards through USDF and local organization, IDCTA. Rosie has competed at the North American Championships 3 times total, as a junior (ages 14-18) and a young rider (ages 16-21). At her last NAYC in 2014, she finished 7th individually and 5th in the freestyle. In 2015 Rosie was 1 of 4 chosen to participate in the Dressage Foundation's International Dream Program, traveling to Aachen, Germany to watch the European Dressage Championships. This unique opportunity allowed participants to speak to the top riders, judges, and trainers of the sport while being spectating some of the best the sport has to offer at the highest level. Additionally, in 2016, Rosie was 1 of 2 dressage riders chosen to participate in the Hannoveraner Verband's Rider Exchange Program. This allowed Rosie to spend 2 months riding and preparing young horses for the Verden Auction in Verden, Germany as an assistant rider. During this time she was able to develop as a rider and trainer while working at the Verband. Along with competing, Rosie loves participating in educational programs and clinics with her horses. She is a long-time participant in Lendon Grey’s Dressage4Kids programs and has spent the last two winters donating her time as an instructor at the D4K Winter Intensive Program in Wellington, Florida. In 2017 Rosie began riding Rankrado, a Grand Prix horse purchase by a group of investors for her to continue her competitive career. Since then the two have won a USDF/GAIG Regional Championship at I-1 in a field of 30 horses, competed in a US Dressage Finals, and competed at the 2018 invitational Festival of Champions in the Under 25 Grand Prix, finishing 9th nationally. The pair continue to strengthen as they compete in international CDI competitions and have goals to compete in the 2019 Festival of Champions.

Grace was the highest scoring American girl in both competitions, while Nathan also did well. Following Europe, Nathan competed in Mexico for the Pan American Youth Olympic Games Qualifier. He finished second among the American men and is looking forward to his next opportunity to try to qualify for the games. This will be the next youth world championships in Portugal. Both Brace and Nathan have their Hunt colors and have been riding with the Hunt, Pony Club, Polo Club, and the Riding Club of Barrington Hills while growing up. The Hunt has been instrumental in not only teaching them how to ride, but in building the confidence needed to take performance horses you have never ridden before and having them to perform for you. Riding in Modern Pentathlon is supposed to be a test of bravery, so they stack the odds against you. They put you on an unfamiliar course with an unfamiliar horse and aggressive course times. They want to see if you have what it takes. It is a fast-paced adrenaline-packed adventure”. From: Quintessential Barrington Nov. 2017 Recent updates: Nathan is currently a Senior at Barrington High School, In 2018: “Nathan Zachar won the USAP National Qualifier #3 with 1,350 points. Nathan won the fencing event and tied for first with a perfect score in the riding event”. https://www.teamusa.org/USA-Modern-Pentathlon/Features/2018/January/15/Nathan-Zachar- Wins-National-Qualifier-3 Grace Zachar is currently a pre-med student at University of Chicago and competes the Universities womans fencing team successfully competing on the national stage.

  • Competitive English Horse Events
    Competitive English Horse Events There are many different competitive events and disciplines available for horses and their riders. One of these many disciplines is english riding. While english may be used in reference to saddle horses and other gaited horses, this article refers to english as activities ridden in the hunt seat or hunter disciplines. There are several english activities. These include: Dressage Eventing Hunter Jumping Show Jumping Dressage Dressage is a competition which evaluates the horse’s training, responsiveness and obedience to the rider. A prescribed pattern of movements, which increases in difficulty the horse reaches higher levels of training, is used to evaluate the precision and smoothness of the pattern, the transitions between movements and horse’s obedience to and harmony with the rider. Dressage is also a component of eventing, and one of the equestrian events in the Summer Olympics. For more information you can visit the United States Dressage Foundation. Eventing Eventing is an equestrian triathlon competition which was developed to test military horses. Horses first must exhibit their ability to respond to the rider through a dressage test. Then their speed, endurance and cross-country jumping ability are tested in an endurance phase. Finally, their stamina and jumping ability are evaluated in a final show jumping competition. Eventing is a rigorous test of the athleticism of the horse and rider, and is one of the equestrian events in the Summer Olympics. For more information, visit the United States Eventing Association.

Illustration by Gilbert Holliday By Edric G. Roberts The horizon, sapphire and amethyst, Pales in the East and soon, Like a copper shield through the evening mist, Rises the Hunters’ Moon. On the turnpike road every hoof­beat sounds Clear in the frosty air, As the Whip jogs home with the straggler­hounds Jostling his weary mare. They were bustling cubs in the woods until Late in the afternoon, When the pack divided and ran to kill, Advertise here Under the rising moon. Now the shadows deepen as daylight dies; Brighter the moonbeams grow; And the branches gleam where the hoar­frost lies Whiter than winter snow. 1/13 10/27/2015 From the distant woods, looming soft and dark, There where the mists are strewn, Comes the high­pitched note of a fox’s bark Baying the Hunters’ Moon. Posted October 25, 2015 * The hunters’ moon is the next full moon (usually in October or November) to follow the full moon known as the harvest moon, which occurs nearest to the fall equinox (September 22 or 23).

  • Hunting in Aiken
    Riding for Life Senior Foxhunters in Aiken By Amber Heintzberger, Photography by Gary Knoll s a sport steeped in tradition, foxhunting is bound to have Aa few senior citizens among its ranks. Although the masters of several of Aiken’s hunts say that the average age in the hunt field is getting younger, there are still plenty of old-timers out there showing newcomers the ropes. There is no shortage of hunting in the Aiken area: the four local clubs include the venerable Aiken Hounds, Whiskey Road Fox Hounds, Why Worry Hounds and Edisto River Hounds. Some Aiken hunt enthusiasts also frequent the Belle Meade Hunt in nearby Thomson, Georgia or venture further afield to ride with the Lowcountry Hunt near Charleston, or the Camden Hunt in Camden. With so many options, those who have the time and are so inclined might hunt as often as five days a week. Larry Byers, 72, and his wife Pat have lived Far left: Mel Haas; Above: David Smith; Left: Mel and Joyce Haas in Aiken for six years.
