FROM MY DESK
Hasn't it been an exciting local and international competition calendar! Dressage has come
of age with more riders competing on the global platform than ever before, and the eventing
season has been as exciting as can be, lighting up our screens as we follow our New Zealand
riders at events that are some of the world's best.
This brings us to our cover girl, Amanda Pottinger. While she has a stellar record 'down
under' both here in New Zealand and competing at 5* level at Adelaide, her first run at
Badminton left us prouder than ever.
Locally, primary school teacher Greer Caddigan is excelling with her equally talented horse,
Ricker Ridge Pico Boo. We caught up with Greer shortly after selection for the New Zealand
Young Rider team to take part in the Oceania Competition in Melbourne. As it turned out, not
only is Greer talented, but she also puts her horse's welfare front and centre. After competing
at Taupo, Greer made the gutting decision to scratch Ricker Ridge Pico Boo after he sustained
a minor injury just before flying out. It's a lesson for us all - equestrian highs are exhilarating,
and the lows can be right around the corner. I guess the take-home here is that there are always
more competitions, and preserving our good horses should always be the top priority.
Sarah Bevege’s love of Thoroughbreds inspires me! Not only has she sat on a whopping
3,500 Thoroughbreds at EventStars, but she is also now bringing that wealth of knowledge
to the forefront in her own riding career. Be sure to read this humble but talented rider's
interview on page 30.
I always try to look a little more broadly than the FEI equestrian codes. In this issue,
we feature ex-showjumper Greta van der Brink, whose career in polo is soaring. With
parents who are both from horsey backgrounds, it comes as no surprise this family has a
shared passion.
We have two pony riders featured in this issue - Penny Borthwick and Lauren Mitchell.
Both girls have been cleaning up in the awards and rosettes department and are certainly
ones to watch.
We have a special feature in this issue with four top riders, Brooke Edgecombe, Jo
Craddock, Christen Lane and Cooper Oborn, sharing their top tips for maximising the off-
season. They share their proven strategies for working towards a successful next season.
If you are considering breeding your own foal, be sure to check out our interview with
Sarah Catherwood, who is producing foals from top international sires via frozen semen
here in New Zealand. Sarah's early success as a competitive swimmer who represented
New Zealand on the world stage, including at Olympic level, testifies to the drive and
determination she also exhibits in her quest to breed the 'perfect' foal.
We are always in awe of the Para riders and their particular challenges, and Chelsea Burns
is no exception. My goodness, what a positive and determined go-getter she is, continuing to
compete in able-bodied eventing while she is still able.
Pastern dermatitis is a curse! Our new writer Elise Cacace delved into this condition to find
out what we can do for our horses to prevent it.
We hope you enjoy this issue. Until next time, happy riding, everyone!
