sit in the saddle.” Jane added, “T e fi rst time I ever sat on her,
23 years ago, I giggled with joy the whole time, and every ride over the years has brought me so much happiness. She is the horse of a lifetime, and I cherish every day with her.” [Marion continues:] My fascination
with riding came as a teenager. However, aff ording the cost of riding was a prob- lem in the mid-fi fties. With monetary help from my grandmother and giving math lessons to younger school pals, I could aff ord to ride every other week at a great facility in my home town of the quiet suburban northern section of West Berlin. Occasionally we competed on our school horses, mostly jumping. I loved it. After I moved to Switzerland, got mar-
ried and became a Swiss, I rode in Basel, where my instructor was a former rider of the Spanish Riding School in Vienna, Austria. He even brought a couple of Lipizzaner stallions to Basel who did not qualify for the school’s purposes. At that time I only rode dressage. Before my ex-husband and I emigrated to Canada, I unsuccessfully tried to obtain my dressage permit (for the heck of it) to compete in Switzerland. My Arabian mare thought the white fencing around the dressage ring was something she needed to jump. I was

the competitor, not, as in equestrian, the qual- ity or availability of a horse and all that goes with it. I got hooked on fencing. Because of my competitive successes I delved into the sport. Many, many competitions later, including as a member of the Canadian National Team com- peting in Turin, Italy and New York, I qualifi ed

not able to persuade her otherwise. After settling in Toronto, Canada, I tried to
fi nd an English riding school but could only fi nd Western-style riding, which was of no in- terest to me. And then I saw an article about fencing: success or lack of it was totally up to
for the pre-Olympics in Montreal in 1976. I did not make the team. Needless to say, that was a big disappointment. With the birth of my daughter, my ambition to continue competing in fencing stopped. As a single mother I concentrated on her and on my career. Working for a Canadian Hotel Com- pany, we traveled a lot [she accumulated over 30,000 air miles before the age of two]. T en I returned to hotel management. Eventually, I was given the opportunity to move to Den- ver, CO as the General Manager of a new Executive Conference Center and Hotel. A part of this property was also a PGA-rated golf course. Needless to say, I learned to play golf and then got bit by the golf bug: a love/ hate relationship of a not-so-great golfer. During the winter months my daughter and I went skiing at many of the close-by Colo- rado ski resorts. T is was something both she and I could do together. Time passed, my daughter graduated from college, and I was transferred to Maryland to manage a shopping center. T en one day, I remembered the wonderful time I used to have while horseback riding. I also recalled reading that Virginia and Maryland were “horse coun- try” so I researched and visited various riding schools until I found THE ONE. At this time of my life, dressage was the only thing that inter-
