| Lorenza M. - Italy - with Airtonn,
Anglo Arab stallion
"In
1989 I had a terrible accident during a
national jumping competition. In 1990 I
decided to stop riding. Ten years later
I decided to try again to ride but with
some quarter Horses and in 2000 I bought
my first QH named Piccolo Lucky Lad (for
friends Lucky).
I won so much competitions with him ...
In 2004 I bought my second horse to
compete only in dressage events. Every
day I ride both horses that are so
different and I enjoy my free time with
them very much. My horses are all my
life." |

Karen D. - Michigan - with the
late great John
Henry
"Every
year for his bday I would put
together a bucket full of treats,
and then the girls at the Hall of
Champions would let me give him
some. He’d stick his nose in the
bucket and point at what he wanted
and I’d unwrap it for him. I
remember the first time I gave him a
chocolate doughnut hole. You’ve
heard the expression 'eyes wide as
saucers.' His eyes were so huge it
was comical." |

| Elaine T. - Falkland Islands - with
Capizana, Thoroughbred mare
"This photo was taken in
our horse paddock. It was a nice sunny
day and I was cuddling up to her,
telling her stories of what they said
about her in the racing
commentaries. She loves to hear how
great she is. I have since won the most
prestigious race in the Falklands on her
in 2004, 'The Governors Cup,' a race
over 700 yards. Capizana is owned by the
Short family; we have cared for her
since 1999." |

Barbara R. - Washington - with
My Lady Mambo, Thoroughbred filly
"This
filly was sent to my farm for R&R
and special care. Her owner, Ken,
said she wasn't very trusting of
other people, so be careful.
She looks pretty comfortable to me!
We got along great and she is now at
Emerald Downs Racetrack in training
for the racing season. (As you can
see, my goats - Lily and Delilah -
also wanted my attention. They're
very good company for the horses and
me.)" |

| Sara - Florida - with Gandalf,
Belgian (owned by Bob B.)
"He's a rescue horse and
the Dually was instrumental in
reclaiming him. It let me communicate
to an animal that weighs almost 2,000
lbs without hurting him, and that set
the basis for the trust that he and I
enjoy, and which made getting him back
to being safe and rideable possible.
Seriously - he was so dangerous from
fear of being hurt again that he was
going to be put down, and now he's so
gentle that little girls ride him, and
that only took three months. The halter
is really a wonder."

Bart C. - Pennsylvania - with
Roxette Hanover, Standardbred
"Roxette
Hanover won the John W. Miller
Memorial Final at Rosecroft in 1994.
I gave her a kiss in appreciation
for a great race. Wayne Truitt was
her driver that night." |
