HAPPY AUGUST, GROSSE POINTE! As we enter the heart of summer, we highlight one of our favorite topics. It’s the Kids n Pets issue! Before a bit more on this issue, we want to extend our thoughts and prayers to all the homes and businesses that experienced water damage a few weeks ago. Life has thrown some punches the last several months, but we persevere. It is our nature to

keep pushing forward when those hits come. We are strong, we stick together, and we overcome. None the less, we understand the frustration. About 5 years ago, Shelly and I pulled the kids from school for a surprise. We drove to the cargo pickup hanger at the airport entrance. At the counter, we checked in to pick up a little crate with a little creature who just arrived. Mia and Ava were awestruck as a little black and white puppy, full of energy after his flight, popped out and took charge immediately. Our Boston Terrier, Baxter, became a part of our family instantly. The memory of that moment is engrained in our hearts. Pure joy! Kids n Pets! Every day Baxter does his part to bring smiles, mischief, energy, and loyalty. We love you, Baxter! In this issue, we roll out the red carpet for your pets with certified expert Katherine Zielinski as she gives advice on how to care for and pamper your pets at Hollywoof’s Studio Groom. We go “horsing around” at Grosse Pointe Equestrian with owners Lynne and Jerry Krueger where kids can learn from certified trainers and a variety of riding programs. Speaking of horses, Hoof n Woof owner Helen Denys has riding apparel, bridles,

Grosse Pointe Lifestyle | August 2021

HORSES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR HISTORY. They’ve helped in the construction of buildings, have been put to work clearing land, and have always been a huge part of our agricultural industry. They’ve even helped us win wars. Most horses are intelligent and strong, and work comfortably alongside people. Horses have also often been used just for fun. Horseback riding is a popular pastime for

much smaller amount, just 537,000, for working.

“The dream of Black Beauty was always there. As soon as I began earning my own money, I started taking lessons and then bought my own horse.” Although she took time off from riding to raise her 10 children, when the youngest was old enough, Lynne brought him along when she started taking lessons again with her kids. “I finally got into dressage, which is my favorite type of riding, although I’ve done Western and other types of riding too.” Today, Lynne is an advanced dressage rider and teaches at Grosse Pointe Equestrian. “We have 10 trainers who have various backgrounds in dressage, hunter/jumper trainers, and a school program trainer who specializes in multiple riding styles,” says General Manager Gabe Hernandez. “We have retired hunter/jumping ponies that used to show, we have ponies that are great with

Association (CHA) as a level 3 instructor in English, Western, and jumping. Since horses and riders must learn to communicate with each other and work as a team, Danielle focuses on fostering that clear communication between her students and the horses they’re learning on. Only when this high-level of communication is obtained can the riding skills of the students advance. In the school program, all beginner riders are paired with a knowledgeable leader. Then, as the instructor is coaching, the leader will be there to reinforce the finer details of riding. Only then will very young riders be allowed to be free of a lead line. There can be 100 students in the school program at any one time and lessons are given in both private and small group settings.

“You’re never too old,” agrees Helen Denys,

While having the right equipment and learning critical skills are necessary for a successful riding experience, being on the proper horse is also a factor. There are wide varieties of breeds, colors

and sizes. And while someone may like the look of a particular horse, it’s critical to match a person’s ability, goals, and personality with the right horse. “We’re not going to put a real tiny person who hasn’t ridden before up on top of a huge draft horse,” says Lynne. “For me, when I’m matching a horse to a student, I have to take into consideration that physical aspect, and then their experience. “The horses I use for dressage are not the horses you would take on a trail ride. They are much more sensitive and much more highly trained. If the person is a nervous rider, I will pick a horse with a calmer temperament or who has a rounder shape so the person feels more secure on the horse. Then I slowly have to bring my student’s ability up to where they can ride any horse.” In the school, there’s one little pony named Milk Shake that the kids all love, and Lynne sometimes uses her own personal horses in the learning programs. There are her two Andalusians named Aurora and Galileo and a Paint Draft Cross named Alaska. “I’m a big fan of Andalusians,” she says. “They are very intelligent, very sensitive, and very athletic and have been trained for hundreds of years to do dressage so they are usually too much for a beginner rider.” In addition to the 12 or so horses used for the school lessons, there are also a number of horses kept in Grosse Pointe Equestrian’s 50 stalls. Many of these horses are privately owned and only ridden by their owners, who often take lessons as well. There are also 23 paddocks, two indoor arenas and three outdoor arenas, each with GGT footing, including two full-size dressage arenas. Horseback riding events are also held here. “It’s a much larger facility than most like it in Michigan,” says Lynne. “We have a lot going on here.” Regardless of your age or skill level, if you want to enjoy the sport of horseback riding, find an instructor and horse that’s right for you, and get up into the saddle. It will improve not only your physical health, but your mental health as well. There’s Isabella Hyatt & Happy
