Letters toWT W 14 November/December 2013 Thank you for sharing Frances Wade-Whittaker's
well written narrative, "Suki's Story of Survival," in the July/August 2013 issue. The story of a dressage horse recuperating from a fire to help human burn victims only reinforces the notion that horses have enormous sensitivity, inner strength and an innate ability to heal others. We, humans, only have to be open to receive their gifts. I’m thrilled that Warmbloods Today continues to provide unique and fascinating articles for a broad readership.
Susan Marcus, Columbus, OH I’m writing in regards to the article in your
September/October issue, “Success on the Line (and Later in the Ring?)” In my humble opinion this is a very good and very timely article addressing the problem of changed names and USEF numbers, lost show records, etc. of both the imported sport horse and the North American-bred sport horse— specifically in the show hunter ring. It's well worth reading.
Diane Halpin, Great Falls, VA Yes, you can get too much of a good thing! That
is where I found Valhalla in 2012. Way too many good horses and not enough buyers. I decided on an online auction in 2013, using Warmbloods Today as my main advertiser. To my absolute delight, riders came in advance and I was able to pair wonderful people to these lovely horses, both mares and geldings. Matching horse and rider is my delight as a breeder and so I was more than pleased at the results. Only one horse was sold rider unseen during the auction and that turned out well too. Great owners, lovely horses. Wonderful support from WT— it doesn't get better than that! Jean Brinkman, Valhalla Farm, Wellborn, FL
I want to thank Warmbloods Today for your
superb coverage of the recently published historical novel and love story, The Last Daughter of Prussia (Wild River Books, 2013) in your article, "The Almost Forgotten Plight of East Prussia" (September/October

We inadvertently did not give proper credit to the photographer Alicia Frese for this photo that ran in the Point of View “What I Wish I Knew Then” (p. 77) in our September/October ’13 issue and on that issue’s Table of Contents (p. 6). The photo credit should have read Alicia Frese Photography.
2013). At Wild River Books, we are devoted to bringing untold stories and perspectives to life—and as you point out so vividly in the article, "Marina has become the messenger of the Prussian refugees of World War II [whose stories remained silent for decades] and
the almost extinct Trakehner breed [who suffered staggering losses during World War II]." On October fourth, the book’s author Marina
appeared before an audience of Trakehner-lovers at the American Trakehner Association's annual convention—“Trakehnerfest” in Batavia, Ohio— where members lined up in crowds to buy the book. Thank you for your fine writing about Marina’s dedicated quest to broadcast her message “for every slain tribe and forgotten soul, and for any unjustly slaughtered animal in the history of humanity.” Kim Nagy, Wild River Books, Lambertville, NJ
