LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
W
elcome to Issue 28, The Breeders Edition of Sporting Horse Magazine. With 2016 fast coming to a close, looking at what is left to do with the little time left, its excusable to become just a little jittery. We have put together a great issue for you so I won’t keep you long and rather let you get onto the more interesting pages of the magazine.
Caroline Malan spends some time with Oscar Ncube, read all about it on page 66. Yvonne Bolton looks at the fantastic Cleopatra on page 52 and profiles rider Cinzia Pasteris on page 48. Yvonne then reports back on the both the Pony Rider and Junior Equitation Championships on page 90 and the Mark White Super League Final on page 77. The Olympics have come and gone and Brazil has been quite a spectacle. For many it is one of the only opportunities to follow equestrian sport from their living rooms but always a great opportunity for equestrian sport to compete along the mainstream sports. Frances Cheboub takes a closer look at the Rio Olympic Jumpers of 2016 and how they are connected to our local stallions on page 20. Anne Marie Esslinger wraps up the 2016 Revil World Cup Qualifier on page 42 while Esla Du Plessis looking at the SA Junior Champs on page 86. There is a lot more to get through along with a string of breeding help and profiles, so get to it. “The essential joy of being with horses is that it brings us in contact with the rare elements, grace, beauty, spirit, and fire.” ~Sharon Ralls Lemon Enjoy those extra hours of daylight, see you around the arena.
