The United States Equestrian Federation extends its deepest condolences to all of the connections of the tremendous Canadian show jumping stallion Hickstead – who tragically collapsed and died on Sunday, November 6 while walking out of the ring after completing his round in Verona, Italy.

Ridden and produced by Canada’s Eric Lamaze, Hickstead’s brilliance was easy to notice. His style was exciting and dynamic, and he won fans everywhere he went. Hickstead and Lamaze won major titles on four continents including Individual Gold and Team Silver at the 2008 Olympic Games, Individual Bronze and Team Silver at the 2007 Pan American Games and Individual Bronze at the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games. He won the $1 million CN International Grand Prix at the Spruce Meadows

Masters twice and countless grand prix in North America and Europe. At WEG his stock rose exponentially – show jumping fans became Hickstead fans, transcending their nationality – Hickstead jumped four impeccable rounds with four different riders in the Final Four. He was named the Best Horse of the competition. He rose to the occasion and the different styles of riding proving what a champion he was.

“Hickstead was a wonderful horse, and he raised the game every time he went in the ring,” said USEF Chief Executive Officer John Long. “He will be greatly missed, and we join the legions of fans and friends of Hickstead who offer our sincerest sympathies to everyone whose life is affected by the loss of this brave horse.”

Three Medals for U.S. Endurance Team at the 2011 Pan American Endurance Championships The U.S. Endurance Team collected a historic number of medals at the 2011 Pan American Endurance Championships in Santo Domingo, Chile. Taking the Team Silver medal in a combined time of 19:05:19 was John Crandall III with Heraldic; Valerie Kanavy and Spectacular Gold; and Deborah Reich and Pandor. Meg Sleeper and Syrocco Cadence were eliminated at the mandatory recheck at vet gate three. The team finished just one minute and 47 seconds behind the Gold-medal team from Uruguay. The home team of Chile

took the Bronze.

The veteran pair of Crandall and Heraldic completed the 120km course in 6:03:38 to win the Individual Silver medal. Finishing in 6:05:47, Kanavy and Spectacular Gold took the Individual Bronze. Riding for Uruguay, Bernardo Algorta won the Individual Gold in 5:59:27. Reich and Pandor finished in 6:55:54 to place 10th.

Riding as an individual, Cheryl Van Deusen and Moro Amado finished in 15th place.

The U.S. Team led by Chef d’Equipe Emmett Ross, set a blazing

pace in the first three loops and was the team to catch most of the day.

With Sleeper’s elimination at vet gate, the three riders implemented a different strategy for the fourth and fifth loops. This is the most medals the U.S. has collected at an international endurance competition.

“We are very happy with the two Silver medals and one Bronze,” said Ross. “Our riders had a fabulous go at it. We are proud of what we did and more importantly how we did it.” n USEF News

USET Foundation Funding Equestrian Athletes and International Achievement

20

equestrian | november 2011

derful people not only helps the riders who compete in Nations’ Cups, Olympics, and World Championships; it also funds the Developing Dressage Rider Clinics that Debbie McDonald does for dressage and Young Rider International Show Jumping Tours. Both of these programs allow for the coaching and experience to help these up-and-coming horses and riders which are truly the future of our team.

Without the generous support of individuals to support those programs, it would be very, very difficult,” she noted.

Riders at the beginning of their careers also are grateful for the grants that enable them to move onto the international stage.

Courtesy of a grant, Tina Konyot got mileage with Calecto V that helped the U.S. dressage team take fourth place at the WEG and secure a spot in the 2012 Olympics.

She was thrilled earlier that year to be able to go to Aachen and hone her skills after receiving the $30,000 grant.

“It’s my horse, I don’t have any funding, I don’t have anything whatsoever behind me,” she said. “Without that, it would not have been possible for me to go to Europe last year. I’m so grateful they back riders who need the funding.”

Show jumper Margie Engle has always worked hard to make it in the equestrian world, starting by mucking stalls and doing other chores that enabled her to get the lessons and riding time her middle-class family couldn’t fit into its budget.

Her first trip to Europe as a member of the U.S. team was made possible by a USET grant in 1997.

“It’s great to show as a team; it’s a great honor to be able to represent the country,” she said, but noted, “We

couldn’t afford to do it on our own.

It’s very generous for everyone to help out. It’s kind of hard leaving your business and paying expenses to go over there.”

It was a major achievement for eventer Sinead Halpin when she was named to the high performance “A” training list in June, after finishing third at the Rolex Kentucky ThreeDay Event presented by Bridgestone as the top-placing American.

But like so many riders with more talent than resources, Sinead had to figure out how to get herself to her next target, the Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials in September.

The New Jersey resident is preparing herself and her horse, Manoir de Carneville, for a shot at the 2012 Olympic team. Toward that end, she staged a fundraiser at the U.S. Equestrian Team Foundation’s historic Gladstone, NJ, headquarters. While it was well-attended, more was needed for her expensive trip abroad.

So when Halpin heard she had been awarded the USET Foundation’s Jacqueline Mars Training Grant, it opened doors and made it possible for her to pursue her objective without worrying about how she would pay for it.

“Unbelievable,” was the way she described what getting the grant meant to her.

“It relieves some of that stress, so I can focus on what I need to be focusing on,” said Halpin. “I don’t have to be focusing on how to make ends meet. It’s huge in terms of competition.”

The grant enabled her to compete at the Hartpury event in England several weeks before Burghley, so she and her mount could rest up from the trip abroad and become adjusted to their new location.

The Foundation’s executive director, Bonnie Jenkins, noted, “The funding the Foundation provides through generous donations from won-

Sinead Halpin and Manoir de Corneville.

That trip to compete in Rome 14 years ago had a happy ending for all concerned. Not only did Engle take the grand prix with Hidden Creek’s Laurel, but the team also won the Nations’ Cup with 0 penalties.

“They gave a bonus for any country clean all the through, it was about $100,000,” she recalled.

“We did so well we ended up being able to pay the grant money back. It was kind of nice.” n Nancy Jaffer

2011 Pan American Games Guadalajara Wrap-Up

Team USA

Steffen Peters and Weltino’s Magic.

equestrian | november 2011

Medal Sweep for Team USA Dressage The U.S. Dressage Team owned the Guadalajara Country Club’s beautiful dressage arena at the 2011 Pan American Games. The team of Cesar Parra on Grandioso, Heather Blitz on Paragon, Marisa Festerling on Big Tyme and Steffen Peters on Weltino’s Magic stormed to Gold to open the Games for the USEF, winning convincingly over Canada and Colombia. The top three riders (from the top 25) from the U.S. then returned to the ring to vie for Individual honors in the freestyle. The U.S. added Individual Gold, Silver, and Bronze to Team Gold, and they all three scored better than 80 percent in the freestyle.

Peters (San Diego, CA) wasn’t sure it would be possible to top Blitz (Wellington, FL) and Paragon’s mark of 86.650%, but he rode with a fierce determination and got every point out of Weltino’s Magic. They scored 87.300% for their freestyle for a combined average of 82.690%. The Hlavacek’s nine-year-old Westphalian gelding gave Peters his second Gold medal of these Games.

“What an amazing day and an amazing competition,” said Peters. “It is a very exciting day, congratulations to my teammates. The big score that Heather pulled in—I don’t think I’ve ever had that much pressure going into the arena knowing that there was an 86 percent in front of me.”

A steely veteran, Peters faced the pressure and delivered—adding a second Pan Am Gold to a résumé that includes Olympic Bronze, a World Cup Dressage title and two Individual Bronze medals at the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games.

Blitz and Paragon wowed the crowd, and at just eight years old, Paragon is an exciting horse for the future. Their two-day average was 81.917%.

“I hit all the parts of the music, that’s always a great feeling,” said Blitz.

“He felt so smooth and expressive…I can believe it because I know he can do it, but I still can’t believe it.”

Festerling (Moorpark, CA) wasn’t going to leave these Games without another medal, and she had the ride of her life on Big Tyme to secure Bronze with a freestyle score of 80.775% and an overall average of 77.545%. She managed Big Tyme’s enthusiasm impeccably, and like Blitz and Paragon, both horse and rider made two trips to the podium at their very first Games.

“It was awesome, the atmosphere was very, very electric,” said Festerling.

“I was thrilled…in this kind of competition you couldn’t ask for more.”

Festerling rode with accuracy and poise on the biggest stage of her career.

The U.S. triple marked the first time the Individual medals have been swept by one nation in dressage at the Pan American Games. Parra had been a dutiful lead-off rider for the U.S. team; putting in a confident lead-off test on Michael and Sarah Davis’ Grandioso to set the stage for the Team Gold. usef.org

He was sixth after the first round of the Individual Final and under the rules only the top three from any one country were able to go forward to the freestyle.

In another unprecedented effort, the U.S. Eventing Team stormed to Team Gold the following week. All five team members added nothing to their dressage scores, to finish on 138.6—a feat never before achieved in a Team Eventing Championship.

After winning the dressage, they jumped five spectacular clear rounds on Saturday’s cross-country course, and then sealed the victory with double-clear show jumping.

“I would like to give a really special congratulations to my team,” said Chef d’Equipe Mark Phillips. “Five people finishing on their dressage score—that’s never been done before in the history of our sport.”

Anchored by Buck Davidson (Ocala, FL), who, on Absolute Liberty, was the pathfinder for the U.S. Team, he set a standard that the entire team maintained.

“We have really good horses, we were well-coached, we have a great staff and we came here with that mission— to put in personal bests,” said Davidson. “And big thanks to Mexico. It’s been a great trip.”

Canada won Team Silver on a score of 172.6, and Brazil was third with a score of 209.8.

At the conclusion of the Team competition, they were all still chasing Canada’s Jessica Phoenix individually. Michael Pollard (Dalton, GA) and Nathalie Pollard’s Schoensgreen Hanni were second, Hannah Burnett (The Plains, VA) and Jacqueline Mars’ Harbour Pilot were third and Davidson and Sharon Will’s Absolute Liberty were fourth. Five points separated the top four horses.

Under the Pan Am rules only three members of any one team can contest an Individual Final, so two team members were not able to jump for Individual medals. Shannon Lilley (Gilroy, CA) and The Lilley Group’s Ballingowan Pizazz and Lynn Symansky (Middleburg, VA) and her own Donner were placed fifth and sixth respectively after the Team competition.

Immaculate jumping was the order of the day for the individual medals and the top three horses were beautifully ridden over three days. Phoenix held onto her dressage lead, adding nothing to her winning score of 43.9 with Pavarotti. Burnett and Harbour Pilot jumped up to Silver and Davidson on Absolute Liberty won Bronze.

Burnett rode with determination far beyond her 25 years on Jacqueline Mars’ eight-year-old Irish Sport Horse gelding Harbour Pilot. Pollard jumped a terrific clear on Schoensgreen Hanni in the Team round, but had two rails in the Individual round and dropped to fourth place.

“I’m just really honored to be on this horse and this team,” said Burnett. “I’m also really happy for Jess (Phoenix). The Team competition definitely had a bit more pressure; you want to make your team proud and your country proud.”

Davidson led the team as the most experienced rider of the five—and he was rewarded for his efforts with his first Individual medal. Sixth at the 1999 Pan American Games, Davidson knew the Team medal was the priority, and the Individual honors were just a bonus. usef.org

More than just medals were at stake for the American Show Jumping Team, they were seeking qualification for the 2012 London Olympic Games. But they faced the pressure and delivered the United States its third equestrian Team Gold medal of these Games, jumping eight clear rounds in the Nations Cup. Their score of 2.90 from the speed class didn’t change, and they led Brazil (11.58) and Mexico (13.24) in the medal ceremony.

“It’s the way they rode, it’s not the result,” said Chef d’Equipe George Morris. “I’m an ideological horseman.

I’m not interested in it unless it’s beautifully ridden.”

By the time Individual leader Beezie Madden (Cazenovia, NY) went in the ring as the last to jump for the American squad, she was jumping for herself—the U.S. Team already had clinched the Gold, thanks to her teammates’ three double clears.

But Madden jumped clear and defended her lead from the speed class. Coral Reef Via Volo jumped easily around Javier Fernandez’s course. Madden, continued to lead the individual standings on a score of zero.

Right behind her is teammate Christine McCrea (East Windsor, CT) on a score of 0.88 with Romantovich Take One. The 11-year-old KWPN gelding bounded around the track twice, making it look simple. This was McCrea’s first team appearance at a championship.

“I’m just really, really proud of us as a team,” said McCrea.

Though McLain Ward (Brewster, NY) owns two Olympic Gold medals, he felt the pressure of the occasion as he entered the ring on Grant Road Partners’ 11-year-old Wurttemberger gelding, Antares F. “I have to be honest, it was a lot of stress, this Olympic qualification,” said Ward. “I felt a little more pressure today and yesterday than I have in past Olympic Games. But it was obviously a fantastic event, and I think this is a great team.”

Ward jumped a textbook round twice, improving on his performance and moving into third place on a three-round score of 2.02.

Rounding out the U.S. effort was Kent Farrington (Chicago, IL). He rode impeccably on RCG Farm’s Uceko, and, as third to jump, jumped the round that clinched the Gold. They were eighth in the Individual standings.

“This is an A-plus. The courses were fantastic, the technical coordination was fantastic, the footing was very good,” said Morris. “The horses jumped great, it’s a beautiful club—A-plus across the board.”

The U.S. squad is supported by a team that includes veterinarian Dr. Tim Ober, farrier Todd Meister, physio Janus Marquis and reserve rider Mario Deslauriers—who was an integral part of the effort.

The top three horses from each country (of those in the top 25 overall) moved forward to jump in the Individual Final.

It came down to 7/100ths of a second and when Madden landed over the last fence in the second round of the final it seemed Individual Gold was secure.

But she finished on a time of 66.07 with Coral Reef Via Volo, and the time allowed was 66 seconds. One time fault left her in the Silver-medal position behind McCrea and Romantovich Take One. There wasn’t a rail separating the top five horses going into the final round—and at the end of all the jumping, McCrea and Romantovich Take One finished up the way they started. They jumped five clear rounds and ended their first Pan American Games with Team and Individual Gold on a score of 0.88. usef.org

Christine McCrea and Romantovich Take One.

“This was a fabulous week,” said McCrea. “It was great. Our country needed this…we needed it.”

Madden is the master of precise riding and clutch performances so her time fault surprised everyone in attendance. Madden and Coral Reef Via Volo put on a jumping clinic throughout the week, but fell victim to the clock in the final moments.

“It cost me a lot,” said Madden of her time fault. “But, thank God I have a strong team here, and Chris was here to take it up. I am happy it was an American, we were still Gold and Silver, and with the Team Gold it was a fantastic week for us so no complaints.”

Bernardo Alves moved up to third for Brazil on Bridgit, after Ward had one rail down to finish fourth in an impressive five-round effort.

So Many Medals The U.S. brought home a total of 10 medals. It marked the first time since 1975 in Mexico City, that all three U.S. teams won Gold at a Pan American Games. The U.S. riders won every Individual medal except for two. It is the most successful Pan American Games for the United States equestrian teams in history.

horsehealth | Q&A

Sensitivity to Laminitis Q: I am entered in a combined driving event with my athletic, good-moving 16-year-old American Saddlebred. He had an episode of laminitis a year ago that was presumably caused by vaccines but possibly brought about by rich hay. I want him to have more energy but not be out of control. He currently gets six to eight pounds (2.73.6 kg) of senior feed, timothy/alfalfa hay, and about eight hours of grazing on good-quality grass. What can I do?

A: From your description, it seems as though your horse has bounced back quite well from his bout with laminitis.

Though he has recovered fully, he might be more sensitive to future laminitic episodes.

Laminitis can be acute (a one-time occurrence caused by something specific like retained placenta, fever, etc.) or chronic (constantly or seasonally in danger of recurrence).

Chronic laminitis has been associated with equine metabolic syndrome and Cushing’s disease. Insulin resistance is a common factor in chronic laminitis and can be diagnosed with specialized blood tests. Two ways to combat insulin resistance are to keep the horse at a healthy weight and to exercise him almost daily.

From your description, it seems your horse suffered an acute case of laminitis rather than chronic. However, I understand your caution in trying to avoid it from happening again by keeping him on a feeding program that will not provoke insulin resistance. The amount of exercise he is getting in training for the event should help tremendously with this, as well.

Your gelding is getting a low-energy diet for the amount of work he is doing. Senior feeds are designed to supply a portion of forage to the horse, which is what makes them fairly safe for horses with potential metabolic problems.

However, they often don’t supply enough calories for the hard-working horse.

equestrian | november 2011

If you are concerned with the horse having more energy for work and staying power during the endurance phase, he may need a higher energy feed with more starch or fat. One of the simplest and safest additions to the diet would be oil (preferably ¼ to 1 cup of canola or soybean) to increase the caloric density without increasing starch. This may give the horse a little more endurance but may not help with building muscle glycogen stores needed for energy generation.

Starch is the key to building muscle glycogen. Strategies to consider that take the need for starch and fat into consideration would be to exchange a portion of the senior feed with a higher energy feed (look for something with at least 8% fat and substitute two to three pounds of the senior), or add a supplement like rice bran (20% fat; ½ to one pound per day).

I don’t think it would be necessary to completely replace the senior feed, and I feel like it would be adequate to swap out some of the senior for a higher energy feed. All of the suggested strategies should be safe for a horse with a questionable history of laminitis, as long as he is in training and competition.
