Letters toWT
I want to thank you for publishing in January Susan Rose Marcus' wonderful article about our rescue, The Shepherd’s Corner. Our Facebook page and website have both enjoyed a surge in popularity and, as the season changes, I expect visits to the farm will increase commensurately. As the organization is still in its infancy, generating interest in our mission and (developing) program is critical to our marketing effort—your beautiful magazine has given us quite a jump start for 2011! I especially was pleased to showcase my dear old

Trakehner stallion Insterfurst. He came to me as a 12 year old with a terrible reputation. In fact, the only reason I was able to purchase him, aside from a very generous payment plan by his owner at the time, was that the price of this gifted Prix St. Georges horse had been driven down by sprees of public naughtiness. I had heard some of the stories (although not nearly as many as I heard after I purchased him) but, try as I might, I could not see THAT horse when I looked into his eye, nor feel it when I sat on him. I was a solid first level rider at the time and completely in awe of this wonderful horse that was so willing to instruct me in the arts of upper level dressage. He has been a wise and dear friend to me for many years

Being a huge Lusitano fan and having owned three of them, I was very impressed with the article on Lusitanos in your January issue. Bettina Drummond first introduced me to the breed and helped me find and train my first Lusitano, Nabucco, which she found for me in France. As a result, I have deep respect for her knowledge and wisdom about the breed. It was helpful to hear her words once again, reminding me of the subtle differences in training between the Warmblood and the Lusitano. And her pictures in the article were lovely. I now have two Brazilian Lusitanos; one from

Interagro, Xenocrates, who is very talented with an engaging sweet disposition and is now in training for the upper levels. Realce, a black stallion from Haras Das Mangueiras is my all time favorite horse. He wins a 10 for character and talent and suitability for the amateur rider. I’m glad to the magazine is doing well; I am enjoying it immensely.
