Catching a glimpse of wild horses on the beach is a dream come true for many people, and my hope is that within the pages of this issue you can live vicariously through Debra Garside of Alberta, Canada as she photographed four wild stallions on the beaches of Sable Island. Her photos are breathtaking and her story is an inspiration for each of us to experience our own adventure. Speaking of adventure, our Sidelines Dirty Horse & Pony Contest turned out to be a very big adventure. An adventure in dirt, that is. Muddy, messy and as dirty as they could get, the horses and ponies in this contest put their best hoof forward to show us their own version of horse art. Wait till you see the photos – especially the winner, an off-the- track-Thoroughbred who does an excellent impersonation Sidelines Magazine’s Jan Westmark-Allan (left) and Dani Moritz of a hippopotamus.

By Jenny Johnson and Mary Grace Davidson Mary Grace Davidson has been a staple in California’s dres- sage scene for many years. At 84-years-old, you could say she’s “been there, done that” in the dressage world, as she has been a trainer, competitor, judge, breeder and inspiration to all those who know her. Acknowledging that more and more seniors continue to ride in spite of aging, Mary Grace shared some advice on things she has learned throughout the years. Her wisdom is useful to riders of any age, discipline and level. Mary Grace offers this counsel: My biggest piece of advice is to have reasonable goals, but keep a schedule and keep riding. Until I was in my mid-70s, my goal was to train and compete. I rode nearly every day and entered an occasional show. On my 75th birthday, I earned a 62+ percent at Prix St. Georges on my dear Marquis, the horse I lost in a terrible accident just before my Century Ride in 2011. With this ride, my goal changed – forget competition, since I probably would never do better than this.
