Judy Thayer’s passing has left a huge hole in so many hearts. Judy was the heart and soul of Fair Hill International and it’s hard to imagine the organization without her. She was the point person in charge of six Horse Trials and fifteen cross-country schooling sessions every year. And when the Dutta Corp. Fair Hill International came around in October, her deft touch was apparent throughout the many facets of the event. Judy was a founding member of the board of directors of Fair Hill international, head of XC, for horse trials and the October championships, the treasurer, an active competitor, a tireless supporter of every aspect of Fair Hill International and a coach of many from pony clubbers to eventers and older adult foxhunters. 1 Welcome to the Dutta Corp. Fair Hill International 2014 Welcome to the twenty-sixth edition of Fair Hill International, sponsored by The Dutta Corporation, a leading international horse transportation company that holds the distinction of being the Official Shipper for the United States Eventing Team. Once again, we are hosting one of only three CCI Three-Star Events in the country and, when it's over, we will crown the winner of the United States Equestrian Federation's National Fall Eventing Championship CCI***. In keeping with our ongoing attempt to provide the best in Three-Day-Eventing we are also offering a Two-Star division for the seventh straight year. When the dust settles on Sunday, the winner will earn the USEF National Fall Eventing Championship CCI**. To make sure the Stars of Tomorrow aren’t overlooked we will once again play host to the increasingly popular USEA Young Event Horse Championships for four-and-five-year-olds on Thursday and Friday. To complement the world-class horse competition, we have placed increased emphasis on the Family Fun Attractions. The recently expanded Kids' Corner will offer fun, games, and musical entertainment for the little ones; and the Food Court and Country Shops will offer something for everyone. Be sure to check out the Schedule of Events on pages 5 and 7 of this program. You’ll learn when and where you can enjoy such diverse attractions as Pony Club Games, Canine Demonstrations, Falconry, Miniature Horses, Mule Jumping, Bluegrass and Dixieland Music, and Classic Cars. You may be able to see them all, but it will take an effort. There are so many people and organizations to thank that we could fill a book with their names, but there are several groups that should be singled out - the staff of the Fair Hill Natural Resources Management Area, led by Ranger Rachel Tembey, who dedicate their efforts to preserving and maintaining this magnificent property; Dr. Ken Lewis and the folks at Union Hospital; and our Sponsors, who provide the financial support that makes it all possible. We hope you enjoy your visit to Fair Hill, and that you will return for many years to come.

For a quarter of a century, beautiful Cecil County has hosted this time honored tradition of gathering with old friends and new to celebrate the majestic equestrian sport. Over this three-day festival, I hope you will take the time to enjoy all that our State offers. It is a unique Maryland tradition that holds memories that last a lifetime for many of us– this event is truly a testament to spirit of Maryland – from eating Chesapeake Bay cuisine to listening to local musicians with friends and family. Our State has historically and continues to proudly support world-class equestrian competitions. Together, with your support, we will keep this tradition strong for years to come. Thank you for coming and congratulations to the local vendors and participants for making the festival a great success each year. Best wishes for another memorable event.

Faust became fascinated with drawing at an early age. Faust enjoys traveling the country to study and execute commission portraits of some of today’s greatest horses as well as many who have never won a race. “They are all champions to me.” Contact: www.shawnfaust.com - 302-832-5950 Carole E. Evans Art Artist’s medium is the interplay between colored pencils of English manufacture and Bristol Board paper. At times she incorporates stitchery and other media. The pencils radiate a high-intensity of rich colors and produce delicate lines with subtle blending. Whether drawing horses or the world that surrounds them, this can be a perfect reflection of the symbiosis between the pencil and the subject. ✆ 302-737-4605; cougar1018@aol.com, Examples of artwork: picasaweb.google.com/caroleevansart 18 Festival of Art Exhibition Kathleen M.

But, do not hesitate to ask them questions about the cross country phase. They will be happy to help you! Assisting Riders Assistance to any competitor is not permitted, under penalty of the competitor’s elimination. Any intervention by a third party, solicited or not, with the object of aiding the horse or encouraging the competitor is considered illegal assistance. This includes shouting encouragement and giving directions, although applause is always welcome. The one exception to the rule is in case of an accident. Catching a loose horse and helping a competitor is permitted. Families With Children Eventing is a family sport for competitors and spectators. But, as in any sport, precautions must be taken. Please see that children are with an adult at all times. Horses Always Have the Right of Way BE ALERT to ensure that you do not interfere with the competitors on course. Use caution when you are walking the cross-country course - or anywhere on the Fair Hill grounds. Dogs Must Be Leashed There will be absolutely no exceptions to this rule. All dogs not properly leashed will be impounded! Was That a Whistle? Stewards supervise the cross-country course and whistles are blown to warn spectators to stand clear when a horse is approaching. Pay attention when you hear a whistle. In general, neither the Fair Hill International Organizing Committee, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, the United States Eventing Association, United States Equestrian Federation, members and officials, nor the owner of the property on which the event is run accept any liability for any accident, damage, injury, or illness to horses, competitors, owners, attendants, spectators or any person or property. Crowd Control and Safety For your own safety, as well as the safety of the competitors, please pay attention to all crowd-control measures. Stay behind any marked barriers or ropes. You may cross the course at designated points, but be sure a horse is not coming and cross as quickly as possible.

Brinkman Introduction The Young Event Horse (YEH) Championship evaluates four and five year old horses (in agedivided groups) over three phases. The judges look for horses that express a competitive future in the demanding sport of eventing. Judges look for an athletic, elastic moving horse with promising jumping technique that, with correct training, will develop physically and mentally into a strong upper level mount. The conformation and movement should enable the horse to withstand the demands of the sport in terms of soundness, speed and stamina. Lack of quality and other defects, which may prevent the required speed should be penalized, even though the horse shows potential in dressage or show jumping. However, a lack of size or color of the horse should not be held against him or her. Equally, possible prejudice against mares is not to affect any judgment. It is essential to encourage riders to showcase mares if we are to establish a better breeding policy using proven mares. Scoring Each section will be scored on a 1-10 mark basis. 1 = very bad 2 =bad 3 = fairly bad 4 = insufficient Phase I Conformation and Type 15% Phase II Dressage Test 35% Phase III Jumping Test/Gallop/General Impression 50% 5 = sufficient 6 = satisfactory 7 = fairly good 8 = good 9 = very good 10 = excellent Conformation and Type The horse is judged without tack and in hand on potential for soundness, speed and stamina. Handlers will be asked to walk and trot them in a straight line for soundness and correctness. Color, size and gender should not be a factor in a horse's score 25 USEA Young Event Horse Championships East Coast continued Dressage The dressage phase, unlike a normal dressage test, marks overall collective impression (not by each individual movement). Three correct, elastic and regular gaits through a swinging back are the qualities that judges seek. Young horses should not be marked down for displaying a little exuberance. The judge will have to weigh the influence of the rider; a good rider may present a well-balanced, smooth test on, perhaps, a moderate unscopey horse, while a novice rider may hinder a good horse from showing its true worth. It is the horse's and not the rider's, real potential we are looking for. Jumping Parameters/Gallop and General Impression The jumping section looks for a bold, athletic horse with good technique. A horse with these qualities should not necessarily be penalized for knocking down a fence providing he or she learns from the mistake. Four year-old horses will not be penalized for jumping out of the trot. An event horse must be able to jump a bank, ditch, water, or solid fence. Please note that schooling through the water obstacle prior to competition is encouraged. Four-year-old Championships – 30 percent of the jumps must be at the maximum height of 3'3" to mirror the specifications for the Training level. Five-year-old Championships – 30 percent of the jumps must be at the maximum height of 3'7" to mirror the specifications for the Preliminary level. Gallop and General Impression – Horses are required to show their gallop immediately following the last jump. 26 Your Foal Is Our Goal Frozen Semen From the World’s Best Sports Horses l Convenient & Economical l More Marketable Foals l Increased Performance Ability l More Stallions to Choose From FREE Sport Horse Display Ads As an SES client you get unlimited FREE display advertising for your horses on SuperiorEquineSales.com NEW Conception Database!

Appalachian musicians were a key influence on the early development of Old-time music, Country music, and Bluegrass, and were an important part of the American Folk music revival of the 1960s. Across the world, the week before the fasting and abstinence of lent is a time of music and celebration called Carnival. Mardi Gras literally means Big Tuesday or the last and most intense day of carnival. It also means the happy, energetic sound of traditional New Orleans jazz. The Riverside Carnival Band is one of the Mid Atlantic’s leading proponents of this dynamic music. Enjoy a local taste of old-time music from the Appalachian Mountains with John & Friends performing from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM near the food court on Saturday. Enjoy this fantastic jazz band in several different locations throughout the day on Sunday. 34 Mule Jumping Mule jumping has its origins with raccoon hunters, who are believed to have invented the sport many years ago while they rode their mules on night time hunts. The raccoon hunters would dismount and throw a blanket over the fence in order to make it more visible to the mule. The hunter would then climb over the fence and with the lead rope in hand, encourage his mount to vault over and join him. A trainer is not allowed to touch the mule in any way. Instead, he or she must coax the animal over the bar with the use of voice commands only. During competition, each mule is allowed two attempts at a particular height. The rules of the competition are as follows: Mules must come to a complete stop for one second before attempting a jump, standing in a box that is either 10 feet by 12 feet or 10 feet by 10 feet, depending on the size of the mule. Elisha Lager and her mules will demonstrate the sport on Friday during the lunch break in the Main Arena. Elisha represents Harrison Mules Days, a weekend of fun mule competition in Carroll County in the beginning of October. Classic Cars Classic cars will be on hand on Sunday for those who want a chance to reminisce about their younger years, as well as for younger people looking to connect with icons from an earlier era. 35 At the end of the day, all you really want is to provide the best care. Ask for UNIPRIM antibiotic powder, a convenient and cost-effective treatment. DESCRIPTION: UNIPRIM Powder contains 67 mg trimethoprim and 333 mg sulfadiazine per gram. UNIPRIM Powder is a combination of trimethoprim and sulfadiazine in the ratio of 1 part to 5 parts by weight, which provides effective antibacterial activity against a wide range of bacterial infections in animals. Trimethoprim is 2,4 diamino-5-(3, 4, 5-trimethoxybenzyl) pyrimidine. ACTIONS: Microbiology: Trimethoprim blocks bacterial production of tetrahydrofolic acid from dihydrofolic acid by binding to and reversibly inhibiting the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase. Sulfadiazine, in common with other sulfonamides, inhibits bacterial synthesis of dihydrofolic acid by competing with para-aminobenzoic acid. Trimethoprim/sulfadiazine thus imposes a sequential double blockade on bacterial metabolism. This deprives bacteria of nucleic acids and proteins essential for survival and multiplication, and produces a high level of antibacterial activity which is usually bactericidal. Although both sulfadiazine and trimethoprim are antifolate, neither affects the folate metabolism of animals. The reasons are: animals do not synthesize folic acid and cannot, therefore, be directly affected by sulfadiazine; and although animals must reduce their dietary folic acid to tetrahydrofolic acid, trimethoprim does not affect this reduction because its affinity for dihydrofolate reductase of mammals is significantly less than for the corresponding bacterial enzyme. Trimethoprim/sulfadiazine is active against a wide spectrum of bacterial pathogens, both gram-negative and gram-positive. The following in vitro data are available, but their clinical significance is unknown. In general, species of the following genera are sensitive to trimethoprim/sulfadiazine: INDICATIONS AND USAGE: Trimethoprim/sulfadiazine is indicated in horses where potent systemic antibacterial action against sensitive organisms is required. Trimethoprim/sulfadiazine is indicated where control of bacterial infections is required during treatment of: Acute Strangles Acute Urogenital Infections Respiratory Tract Infections Wound Infections and Abscesses Trimethoprim/sulfadiazine is well tolerated by foals. Slight to moderate reductions in hematopoietic activity following high, prolonged dosage in several species have been recorded. This is usually reversible by folinic acid (leucovorin) administration or by stopping the drug. During long-term treatment of horses, periodic platelet counts and white and red blood cell counts are advisable. TERATOLOGY: The effect of trimethoprim/sulfadiazine on pregnancy has not been determined. Studies to date show there is no detrimental effect on stallion spermatogenesis with or following the recommended dose of trimethoprim/sulfadiazine. CONTRAINDICATIONS: Trimethoprim/sulfadiazine should not be used in horses showing marked liver parenchymal damage, blood dyscrasias, or in DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION: The recommended dose is 3.75 g those with history of sulfonamide sensitivity. UNIPRIM Powder per 110 lbs (50 kg) body weight per day. Administer UNIPRIM Powder orally once a day in a small amount of palatable feed. ADVERSE REACTIONS: During clinical trials, one case of anorexia and one case of loose feces following treatment with the drug were reported. Dose Instructions: One 37.5 g packet is sufficient to treat 1100 lbs (500 Individual animal hypersensitivity may result in local or generalized reactions, sometimes fatal. Anaphylactoid reactions, although rare, may also occur. Antidote: Epinephrine. kg) of body weight. For the 1125 g packets and 12 kg boxes, a level, loose-filled, 67 cc scoop contains 37.5 g, sufficient to treat 1100 lbs (500 kg) of body weight. For the 200 g, 400 g, and 1200g jars, and 2000 g pail, two level, loose-filled, 32 cc scoops contain 37.5 g, sufficient to treat 1100 lbs (500 kg) of body weight. Since product may settle, gentle agitation during scooping is recommended. Post Approval Experience: Horses have developed diarrhea during trimethoprim/sulfadiazine treatment, which could be fatal. If fecal consistency changes during trimethoprim/sulfadiazine therapy, discontinue The usual course of treatment is a single, daily dose for 5 to 7 days. treatment immediately and contact your veterinarian. PRECAUTION: Water should be readily available to horses receiving sulfonamide therapy. ANIMAL SAFETY: Toxicity is low. The acute toxicity (LD50) of trimethoprim/sulfadiazine is more than 5 g/kg orally in rats and mice. No significant changes were recorded in rats given doses of 600 mg/ kg per day for 90 days. Horses treated intravenously with trimethoprim/sulfadiazine 48% injection have tolerated up to five times the recommended daily dose for 7 days or on the recommended daily dose for 21 consecutive days without clinical effects or histopathological changes. Lengthening of clotting time was seen in some of the horses on high or prolonged dosing in one of two trials. The effect, which may have been related to a resolving infection, was not seen in a second similar trial. Continue acute infection therapy for 2 or 3 days after clinical signs have subsided. STORAGE: Store at or below 25°C (77°F) HOW SUPPLIED: UNIPRIM Powder is available in 37.5 g packets, 1125 g packets, 200 g jars, 400 g jars, 1200 g jars, 2000 g pails and 12 kg boxes.

The dog arena this year will have demonstrations from various canine competitions. And you even have an opportunity to teach YOUR old dog some new tricks with (FREE!) dog agility lessons! Dog Agility: Agility is often referred to as a timed obstacle course for dogs. But it is very much a human sport since owners and trainers teach their pets both obstacle performance and directional skills to successfully negotiate each course as a competitive team. They will never run the same course twice, and handlers must plan strategically to master the course of the day. With a Dog Agility Show ‘N Go: variety of games and classes, dog trainers are Show ‘N Go are practice Agility Trials to help constantly challenged to learn new skills and teams of handlers and their dogs prepare for teach them to their canine companions. The real competition. No "Points" are awarded at a combination of strategy, speed, and great fun show n go. "Show ‘N Go" are just that – after with the family pet makes agility an addictive you've done your time in the ring, you can leave. sport to the many that compete on a regular Since there are no prizes or trophies awarded basis. there is no reason to stick around (although at some Show ‘N Goes you can take a second turn if there is time at the end).

Demonstrations will be conducted throughout all three days and a detailed schedule will be posted at the Kids Corner. 11:00 - 4:00 on Friday, 9:00-4:00 on Saturday and 9:00 - 3:00 on Sunday. 39 40 CCI**/*** Eventing Dressage Thursday, Oct 16th and Friday, Oct. 17th, 2014 The first test of the competition reflects the cavalry officer’s need for an obedient, attractive mount on the parade ground. The objective: harmonious development of the horse’s physique and balance. The dressage test requires competitors perform a prescribed set of movements within an arena. Each movement is awarded marks from zero to 10 by three judges, known as the ground jury. There also are collective marks for the horse’s pace, impulsion and submission, as well as the rider’s position and use of the aids. The dressage test judging is the only subjective evaluation of eventing. Rather than judging one horse against the other, the judges are comparing the horse’s movements to an ideal. The judges are looking for a horse that is well-schooled, supple, obedient, keen, fit, and calm. The test must be executed from memory. Errors in the sequence of movements are penalized as follows: First error - 2 points, second error 4 points, third error - 8 points, fourth error - elimination. Throughout the dressage test, the judges are looking for calmness and relaxation, combined with impulsion and rhythm, all from a horse that should be at the peak of fitness. The performance should be fluid, balanced and accurate, providing an © GRC photo overall picture of grace and harmony. None of this happens overnight. Many years of training are spent in producing a good dressage test, which is the basis of the wellschooled horse. Without this obedience and suppleness, the cross-country and stadium jumping phases would be very risky. You can find the dressage tests on the opposite and on the following pages. 41 42 Friends of Fair Hill International - 2014 A non-profit organization like Fair Hill International cannot exist without the financial support of the people who benefit the most from its efforts – the owners, trainers, and riders who compete at its various events.

It also demonstrates the rider’s knowledge of pace and use of the horse across country. It takes a high level of teamwork between horse and rider to meet the demands of this phase. It is the result of a long partnership and many hours of dedicated training. Cross-country is the most exciting and challenging part of every event. This year Fair Hill will be running the Modified CCI**/***. In this format there are no Roads and Tracks or Steeplechase. The Cross Country Phase remains the same as it has been for the last several years. The riders will be given an area between 500 & 1,000 meters long to gallop on. They can do this at anytime on Saturday morning. They will then have a short hack down to the start of Cross Country where a warm up area with show jumps as well as several portable cross country fences will be provided. After cross country the horses will be checked by the veterinarians before returning to the barns. Cross-country is the most important part of the event, and so carries the most weight in accumulation of penalties. Refusals and falls are severely penalized, but the style with which the horse takes an obstacle does not matter. The cross-country phase is a test of complete trust and confidence in one another. While the rider walks the course and determines the best lines to take, the horse will see the terrain and obstacles for the first time during the test. 45 46 47 12 12 13 13 11 Driving Dressage Arena 12 14 8 14 10 11 15 10 7 16 VIP Tent 9 15 S William duPont, Jr. Main Arena Pub 5 19 18 Kid's Corner Food Court Classic Cars Press Tailgate Ar 6 17 Dog s vitie Acti Office CCI Warm Up x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x Main Entrance Tunnel Bridge Stabling CCI Elk Chapel Ro ad x x x Country Shops Sponsor / V.I.P.

I would suspect that both lines will be jumped and it will just be a matter of which line is thought to more attractive to the particular horse and rider. As they gallop on to (#6ab) the Haunted House the riders must think about the control they needed to jump in over the Oxer and then the adequate step and accuracy to jump the right handed open corner off of a left handed bend. There is an option here which will waste a lot of time on the clock. Following is a long gallop to (#7) the Fair Hill Table before coming to the Hobbit Hill (#8ab). This combination not only requires accuracy but also a forward ride to cover the distance between the two hobbit houses. The long gallop to the Sunburst (#9) and then on to the middle of the course which brings them to (#10ab) the Chesapeake Water lets them catch up on the time, however they need to make sure not to go too fast as there is still more climbing and a long way to go. The Waterview Brush at the top of the mound (#10a) requires a bold ride and takes them down into the water to a very narrow brush. They need to keep their position and maintain their direction as it comes up very quickly. Coming to the Sneaky Snake at (#11) they need to be bold and all should just fly over this and head up the hill to Rachel’s Rails question (#12abc). This has been rebuilt this year but it still requires a brave horse and rider to come at the right speed and to be there to help in guiding the horse out. Still climbing, they have a long gallop over two fairly large galloping type fences before getting to the top of the course where they will come to a new combination this year (#15ab) the Persimmon Turn and its Floating Brushes, two large ditch and brush fences on a bending right turn. The right speed and line is crucial to make sure that 2014 marks the 26th running of the Fair Hill International CCI*** and the 7th Fair Hill International CCI**. Riders with their horses will be competing for the USEF National Fall CCI*** Eventing Championship and USEF National Fall CCI** Eventing Championship. Fair Hill International has always been one of the premier destinations for Eventing in the United States and this year we are happy again be host the final Champioship for the Young Event Horse East Coast series for 4 and 5 year olds. The cross country at Fair Hill International is sited on one of the most picturesque yet challenging pieces of the Maryland Department of Natural Resources Management Area property. The undulating terrain provides the opportunity to create a wide variety of obstacles allowing for a very exciting competition. Fair Hill International always has a wide variety of horses and riders competing and with the World Games now past us many will be trying to give experience to their horses that are moving up the levels with their sights set on the Pan American Games in 2015 and the Olympic Games in 2016. The CCI*** track is quite different this year in that it will run in the reverse direction from recent years. It will be interesting to see how the change in direction affects the overall endurance aspect of the track even though the distance is much the same as in the past. Starting out the competitors bear immediately to their right and begin by jumping four straightforward galloping fences which should help establish the rhythm and settle horses down before heading to the first combination at (#5abc) the Frog Pond. The jump in over a big log should be quite inviting however from 51 continued on page 53 52 From page 51 Course Designer Derek di Grazia on this year’s courses they negotiate the turn. It is important not to get carried down the slope after the first jump in order to jump the second. Galloping back up the hill towards the arena riders will think about the jump through the Dutta Keyhole (#16) and then the subsequent Dutta Farm Yard Corners (#17ab) in the main arena. Approaching the Dutta Keyhole they have to give the horses confidence to jump through as it will look on the approach as if they are jumping into space. As they head down into the arena they need to find their line to the corners and at the same time know that they are on the right length stride to negotiate the distance between the two corners. The exit from the arena is on a different track from past years and leads down behind the Pub towards the food shops over the (#18) Double Brush before coming to the (#19ab) Sunken Road. That active powerful canter is needed to jump the Scenic Log into the road and then maintain the direction to jump the Summer House at the top of the embankment. The long gallop to the Oxer Massif (#20) lets them have a breather, however they want to be accurate and in control on the approach to guarantee a good jump. Heading back up the hill they need to settle down and keep the line over the Triple Brush chevron which is followed immediately by the Plush Corner (#21ab). At this point in the course the horses may start to feel a little tired which means riders need to be there even more to help out. The Potting shed at (#22) offers a nice let up before heading to (#23ab) the Drop and Turn log and Angled Brush which were on last year’s course. Riders need to have the right length stride and know their line as it comes up fast and at this point riders must avoid an unwanted glance off. If the riders are clear until now they will just be trying to not make any mistakes as they head down to the next combination at the Spring House Water (#24ab). While there is not a jump into the water riders need to keep their horse together to jump the Duck in the water and then the line to the Angled Log at the top of the slope. The gallop and ensuing three straightforward jumps brings them to the finish. The CCI** course opens much the same with the first four fences allowing the riders the chance to gallop and find a rhythm. The Yellow House (#5) onto the Sunken Road which comes up early in the course always requires a bold balanced horse to jump the house on the way in and should not pose any problem if ridden accurately. The Brush Drop at the Foundation (#6) will need some riding before coming to the Foxes (#7abc) water crossing. This cluster of jumps is the first real question on the course and the riders need to know their line here and maintain their activity and straightness. The horses need to be bold to jump the big Fox Brush going down into the water and then be good with their feet as they go up the slope to negotiate their chosen option at the Corner. The Brookdale Hay Rack(#8) will comes on the way to the arena complex, Derek’s Line (#9abc).This year they will have a big jump into the line over a Double Brush followed by a narrow faced but wide spread Red House followed immediately by a Chevron Brush. Riders need to know the length stride necessary to make the distance work while at the same time keeping the direction to jump the narrower fences. As they head back out into the country they encounter a let up fence in the (#10) Fish Tank before coming to the (#11ab) Cedar cabin turn to the Angled Brush. While this looks quite inviting on the approach the riders have to make sure they are not too fast here as the brush requires a very accurate ride and control as they head down the hill. A long gallop will get them to the Picnic Table (#12) which will be a let up before coming to the Coffin (#13abc). This type fence always asks for that active short canter for the jump in with a straight horse and a tidy jump for the jump out. Galloping up the hill they jump the Trakehner (#14) before heading down to The Chesapeake Water (#15ab), the Log into the water followed immediately by continued on page 55 53 www.E astErnHs.com • Hardscaping • Garden Care • Turf Care • Estates • Residential • Commercial Call today for a consultation: 610.268.5240 www.EasternHS.com • 340 Cream St. • Kennett Square, PA 19348 Our professional staff has trained at Longwood Gardens. 54 CCI** Cross Country Fences Illustrations by Fran Loftus continued from page 53 the Brush Corner over and at the base of the mound. As they roll down the hill to the water they need the right balance and to have a positive ride into the water before regaining control to get the correct line to the corner. The riders need to appreciate what the terrain change will do to the balance and make sure that they hold onto the line to keep from having a glance off. The (#16) Major League Baseball jump and the (#17) Dragon Jaws will give some confidence before getting to the back side of the course. The (#18abc) Haunted Osage Grove complex is back and was quite influential in last year’s course. The preparation in the approach sets them up to have the correct line to the two very big Steeplechase Brushes. With only one fence between here and the Springhouse Water (#20abc) horses should be able to have quite a gallop. The Brush into the water will require getting the right canter after the long gallop. Once over it they need control going down the slope to negotiate the Duck in the water before riding up the slope to the Angled Rail. This is the last real test and one to pay attention to! The last three fences while being fairly straightforward need respect to bring home a clear round. Both courses require thinking riders with good course management. Knowing when to go and when to keep some in reserve as the terrain is just another part of the equation while negotiating the different questions that are being asked. 1 Flower Berm Kroh’s Nursery 2 Potting Shed Unionville Equine Associates P.C. 3 Rolled Table Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. 4 Oxer Classic Communications As always I wish all horses and riders a safe and successful competition. 55 ✭✭ The Barnes & Beck Financial Consulting Group of Wells Fargo Advisors is pleased to support The Dutta Corp.

Events must not prejudice horse welfare. This involves paying careful attention to the competition areas, ground surfaces, weather conditions, stabling, site safety and fitness of the horse for onward travel after the event. 1. At all stages during the preparation and training of competition horses, welfare must take precedence over all other demands. This includes good horse management, training methods, farriery and tack, and transportation. 4. Every effort must be made to ensure that horses receive proper attention after they have competed and that they are treated humanely when their competition careers are over. This covers proper veterinary care, competition injuries, euthanasia and retirement. 2. Horses and competitors must be fit, competent and in good health before they are allowed to compete.
