March 2013 M S E D A N E W S Lynn’s corner Hi Everyone, We’ve made it through the worst of winter, and spring is thankfully just around the corner! Of course, with that comes the mud and shedding season – but it’s a worthy trade-off for warmer weather and longer daylight hours. I’m sure everyone is excited for show season to get underway as well. Don’t forget the Gala is this month, it’s always a great time and I’m very sorry to be missing it this year due to a trip home. Hopefully lots of you are planning to attend and enjoy a chance to dress up and have a fun night out. And don’t forget all the great things in the silent auction – I have a bidder already lined up to make my bids! So hang in there these last few weeks of cold and ice and just keep reminding yourself that warmer weath- er is on the way soon! Lynn

Those of us who couldn’t afford imported Irish or European horses could always come up with a cheap track retiree as long as we had the guts and the work ethic to ride them – truly, the American Dream. Until the 21st century, those off- track heroes competed on a level playing field where speed, stamina, and heart dictated the blue ribbon. As the millennium dawned, eventing morphed into a venue which valued a big trot and stadium jumping more than speed, stamina, and courage. Our winning Thoroughbred thoroughbreds from the 1960’s-1990’s would start with a 20 point handicap in today’s events – a gap horses and that speed and/or courage cannot make up, especial- ly since the horses we’re competing against are fabu- Eventing lous individuals in their own right with significant levels of thoroughbred blood. by Howard Moore On February 24th, 2012, Megan and the Grasshopper The thoroughbred horse epitomizes the sport of left the start box in an advanced horse trial at Pine eventing.

There is nothing more beautiful than a thoroughbred gliding effortlessly – not pounding the ground, not working hard, just gliding!!! – across country at speeds of 20 miles per hour or more! Over a century ago, the United States Army distrib- uted thoroughbred stallions around the country in their Remount program to ensure that quality horses would be available for the cavalry, who were even- ters in real life. For the first half of the 20th century, cavalry officers rode thoroughbreds in organized mil- itary competitions which were the first organized events. In the second half of the century eventing evolved from military to an organized sport – still dominated by the speed and endurance of the thor- oughbred horse, many of them offtrack. Recognizing the advantage of thoroughbred blood, warmblood breeds also began to “lighten up” with selective infu- sion of thoroughbred genes.

I was there to speak on the role model panel with eventer Allison Springer. I had a wonderful day being at the symposium and talking to some of the other speakers that I had met at a previous safety sympo- sium as well as some new ones. This was the first time that I had met Allison and she is wonderful! I had a great time getting to know her and talking with her about helmets, horses and training in general throughout the day. It is really interesting to me the things that we can learn from athletes in other disci- plines.

Illustrated with slides and peppered with amusing anecdotes, Boyd is a natural storyteller and kept everyone enthralled. With his typical easy, quick Aussie wit and no- nonsense attitude I don’t think any of us realised how much we were all learning at the same time as we were lis- tening but therein lies the lessons! The afternoon session, which we’ll cover in Part Two, was more of an open forum discussing general training and all manner of topics in a question and answer form.
