MFH of Tryon Hounds and Harry, his Canadian Sport Horse, take a fence out hunting ©Sidelines, Inc., 2011 All Rights Reserved Photo by Erik Olsen wwww.ErikOlsenFilm.com FOR HORSE PEOPLE • ABOUT HORSE PEOPLE SIDELINES NOVEMBER 2011 3 4 SIDELINES NOVEMBER 2011 FOR HORSE PEOPLE • ABOUT HORSE PEOPLE Letter from the Editor November is a special time of year, one of raking leaves, spending more time indoors and wearing sweaters and dragging out the heavy horse blankets. Of course, if you’re a foxhunter, November is a time of year that is much-anticipated, because that’s when many hunts have their Opening Meets. (If you’re not a foxhunter, think the first week of WEF for comparable excitement.) Since this magazine is printed well in advance of the month, we weren’t able to capture too many images of this year’s opening meets, but we did get a nice selection of hunting photos in our Side Shots column. We also visited with a number of huntin’ fools who share this compelling addiction. New contributor Jen Hicks introduces us to Dean McKinney, Joint MFH of Tryon Hounds, who shares a favorite hunting memory that was memorialized for him. Another new contributor Kim Summers tells us about the relationship between Norfolk Hunt and the local Pony Club, a story that should appeal to everyone with kids that ride. It’s not all hunting, of course: Jan Westmark-Allan interviewed show jumper Bjorn Ikast and visited with Stacy Parvey-Larsson who is turning heads in the dressage world. Lauren Giannini rounded up a bunch of folks and asked them what they were thankful for…and the answers are insightful. She also caught up with horse show mom Kris Gali who’s put her own show career on hold while her girls go through the ingate. One of my favorite interviews of this issue was with Axel Steiner, who has long been one of my dressage heroes. Danika Rice shares memories of her great-grandmother, and introduces us to yet another California polo player in Steven Paulson. I always enjoy our regular columnists, Lisa Hollister’s Equine Law provides food for thought; Ann Reilly offers encouragement and Sarah Ward – is getting ready to go foxhunting! Junior Blues is a new addition, and I encourage all you juniors out there to send your photos to Jan, who has taken on the task of organizing them. So you see, there’s something for everyone in this issue, and we hope that this little taste of foxhunting will get you interested in trying something that’s exciting to do with your horse outside the ring. There are no ribbons involved, but at the end of the day everyone is definitely a winner.

Giannini Lillian Heard grew up with riding sisters and her mother, Jaqueline, was District Commissioner for Seneca Valley E Pony Club (MD). Lill got her “B” rating, moved to Surefire (VA) to train with Jan Byyny and then became Boyd Martin’s N right-hand person. In the aftermath of the tragic fire that claimed the lives of six horses, including Lill’s Ariel, Phillip Dutton and Boyd sent her off to Ireland to Carol Gee, owner T of Fernhill Sport Horses. Lill tried a lot of horses and got to know Carol, who offered her a job. She wasn’t sure she wanted to leave True Prospect Farm’s eventing community, I led by Phillip and Evie, but Boyd convinced Lill, 25, to take advantage of the golden opportunity. She’s competing, learning by leaps and bounds even when young horses N buck her off, and says: “This is going to make me as a G rider.” Sidelines: Will you go foxhunting while you’re in Ireland? LJH: Carol was telling me the other day that if I learn how to ride around the country, then I can ride any horse around without falling off because they jump some crazy stuff. I hunted a little in Pony Club, and I would love to try it here if offered the opportunity. Sidelines: Why is Pony Club so important? LJH: It teaches you to be responsible and respect for the horse while having fun. We weren’t just out there going crazy with our ponies; Pony Club taught you all the lessons in horse care. Even now, I use the knowledge I gained from Pony Club every single day. Sidelines: Do you wish you had done anything differently? LJH: Carol says all the time: don’t regret the things you do, regret the things you don’t do. Being good at this sport is about being able to handle the good stuff, make mistakes and learn from things going wrong. I worked with Jan Byyny for years. She’s so instrumental in my becoming who I am. She pushed me and made me do it all through college. I went to school, rode full-time and went to Aiken on the Lillian Heard and Share Option were 6th at the CCI*** 2010 weekends.

Unusually, polo insiders have been loath to make predictions. Even the professionals chose to sit on the fence when contributing to the annual Polo Times predictions for the season. “So many teams and combinations have changed that it is difficult to know how it’s going to turn out,” says Max Routledge, the 21-year-old five- goal professional and one of the Eng- lish game’s rising stars.
