Great message

A nice reminder from Carl Hester that surrounding yourself with the right support can be more important than owning an expensive horse.

It is with profound sadness, that we announce the passing of one of the HRN family, Philip Parkes, who you all have come to know as the host of the Dressage Radio Show for the past 11 years, has passed away after a stroke.

Phil was a beloved member of the dressage community, known for his passion for the sport, his encyclopedic knowledge, and his warm and welcoming personality – Phil was as genuine in life as he came across on air.

Our love goes out to his wife Meredith, his family, friends, and fans around the world.

A special episode of the Dressage Radio Show hosted by Reese & Glenn will drop soon.

We will miss Phil dearly and have faith that his legacy will live on.

His love of dressage will inspire riders for generations to come, and those who knew him will always cherish his memory.

Let's raise a glass to Phil tonight, and hug our ponies and loved ones extra tight!

I think this is a pretty interesting article. What do you think? https://www.horsemagazine.com/thm/2023/08/jan-tonjes-the-aachen-interview/

From the desk of Cleveland From the Horse's Mouth (I am Chairman of Wellington's Equestrian Preserve Committee, have been through our meetings, now am commenting as a concerned equestrian):
Please don't be fooled by this letter!! Wellington International hiring a top architect to develop plans for a new horse show is great news, but it merely represents the starting gate, far from the finish line when a real plan would be submitted to the Village for approval along with a rezoning request.
This letter asks for support for a rezoning to enable a new horse show now. That rezoning request was heard by the Equestrian Preserve Committee in June and was denied 7-0. We are all horse people and would love to see a better horse show! But even as Michael states in his letter, he needs to get community feedback to develop a new plan that will work for all of us - that will take time. The sketch he attached is one that was shown last fall and is just a starting point. But even if it isn't, does anyone think hunters and dressage should share a venue day in and day out for three months? Questions like this need to be researched thoroughly.
Michael Stone is asking you to support a rezoning without any real plan because Mark Bellissimo would like his own rezoning of the Dressage Showgrounds and Derby Field so he can sell that land to a home developer. Wellington North and South combine the rezoning requests - horse land for houses and commercial land for the horse show. Those applications are one third of the way through the Village approval process, so far denied. This coming week (Wed and Thurs nights), the applications will be heard by the Planning, Zoning and Adjustment Board.
The applications are presented as an 'all or nothing' package; the land for the horse show expansion is being held hostage by Mark Bellissimo - it will be sold only if Mark gets permission to take land out of the Equestrian Preserve to build houses. Meanwhile, any rezoning application involving a new horse show should/must (!) be accompanied by a detailed plan with supporting community backing and proof of funding. All we have is a letter from Michael Stone outlining a starting point (the hiring of an architect). No real plan yet. Hardly enough to contemplate a rezoning of this magnitude.
Let's separately consider whether land should be removed from the Preserve for houses (the Equestrian Preserve Committee said definitively NO). Then, when GEG/Wellington International is ready, they should come back (to the Equestrian Preserve Committee to start all over) with a detailed plan for an expanded horse show that would accompany that separate rezoning request.

This is truly one heck of a horse!!!

A new breed record was established for Clydesdales yesterday when the 11-year-old stallion Ozark's Royal View sold at the Topeka Fall Sale. Consigned by Duane Chupp, Berkshire Farms, the horse went to Royalview Partnership for a hundred grand! This shattered the existing breed record by $25,000.
This is the NINTH draft horse to reach or top $100,000 in the past 19 years...and the THIRD one this year.
