    USET Foundation PHILANTHROPIC PARTNER OF US EQUESTRIAN NEWS VOLUME 18, ISSUE 3 • FALL 2019 THE 2020 TOKYO OLYMPIC GAMES WILL BRING AKIKO YAMAZAKI FULL CIRCLE The ardent supporter of U.S. Dressage is looking forward to seeing her passion merge with her heritage. BY MOLLY SORGE Attending the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games will be an emotional experience for Akiko Yamazaki – and not only because she hopes her horse, Suppenkasper, will be named to the U.S. Dressage Team with rider Steffen Peters. When Yamazaki sits down in the stands at Equestrian Park at Baji Koen, she’ll be sitting next to her mother, Michiko, who is the person who inspired her love of horses, and her two daughters, who share their passion for riding. My mom attended the Tokyo Olympic Games in 1964 as a spectator,” Yamazaki said. “Now we’ll go to watch the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games at the“ same venue, and hopefully we’ll be watching one of our horses compete. My mother is going to be 79 years old, and she’s really looking forward to going back and watching the Games in Tokyo. We are three generations of riders. It’s coming full circle.” For Yamazaki, who sits on the Board of Trustees and serves as the Secretary of the U.S. Equestrian Team (USET) Foundation, that feeling of legacy is a big part of why she loves equestrian sport so much. Her mother introduced her to riding when she was young, and now Yamazaki’s daughters have not only grown up immersed in the sport but have also developed their own passion for riding.

What man does good, but he consumes thereby But thou wert loved for good, held high, given show ; Poor virtue loathed for good, obscured, held low : Do good, be pined, be deedless good, disgraced ; Unless we feed on men, we let them fast. Yet Hero with these thoughts her torch did spend : When bees make wax, Nature doth not intend It should be made a torch ; but we, that know The proper virtue of it, make it so. And when 'tis made, we light it : nor did Nature Propose one life to maids ; but each such creature Makes by her soul the best of her true state, Which without love is rude, disconsolate. And wants love's fire to make it mild and bright, Till when, maids are but torches wanting light. Thus 'gainst our grief, not cause of grief, we fight. The right of nought is gleaned, but to delight.

  • 1 GREENE's NEVER TOO LATE Or a Powder of Experience S
    GREENE’S NEVER TOO LATE 1 ________________________________________________________________________ GREENE’S NEVER TOO LATE Or A powder of experience sent to all youthful gentlemen to root out the infectious follies that overreaching conceits foster in the spring-time of their youth. Deciphering in a true English history those particular vanities that with their frosty vapours nip the blossoms of every ripe brain from attaining to his intended perfection. As pleasant as profitable, being a right pumice-stone apt to race out idleness with delight and folly with admonition. Rob. Greene in artibus Magister. Omne tulit punctum. London. Printed by Thomas Orwin for N.L. and John Busby. 1590. GREENE’S NEVER TOO LATE 2 ________________________________________________________________________ To the right worshipful Thomas Burnaby, Esquire, Robert Greene wisheth increase of all honourable virtues. Such (right worshipful) as coveted to deck the temple of Delphos adorned the shrine either with green bays or curious instruments because Apollo did as well patronize music as poetry. When the Troyans sought to pacify the wrath of Pallas, the people’s presents were books and lances to signify her deity as well defended by letters as arms. And they which desired to be in the favour of Alexander brought him either wise philosophers or hardy soldiers, for he sought counsellors like Aristotle and captains like Perdiccas. Seeing then how gifts are the more gratefully accepted by how much the more they fit the humour of the party to whom they are presented, desirous a long time to gratify your worship with something that might signify how in all bounden duty I have for sundry favours been affected to your worship, and finding my ability to be unfit to present you with anything of worth, at last I resolved so far to presume as to trouble your worship with the patronage of this pamphlet, knowing you are such a Maecenas of learning that you will as soon vouch with Augustus a few verses given by a poor Greek as of the Arabian courser presented by Tytinius.
