the Global Eventing Showcase this past February, but a slight miscalculation, resulting in a fall that left her unable to compete cross country, sadly dashed those dreams. Deme’s eventing successes have gone beyond Mari-
lyn’s wildest expectations: she earned the titles 2013 USEA Horse of the Year, 2013 USEA Mare of the Year and 2013 World Ranked Leading Event Mare with the WBFSH. Demeter has now been sold to a lovely rider to compete at lower levels, a well-earned slow down for this extraordinary horse. Scandalous, a real gem of an Oldenburg mare
also discovered by Marilyn, has a more traditional jumping background. Her sire Carry Gold is by the Holsteiner stallion Carry, a very talented jumper in his own right. Behind him are the two grey stallions Coronado and Corrado. Her dam is Richardia, a verband premium Oldenburg mare and is out of Old- enburg Richenda out of Richlinde out of Richate who have all produced jumpers. Her dam’s sire Lario is from the Landgraf 1, Ladykiller xx and Farnese lines. Scandalous inherited her lightness and refinement from her Oldenburg dam line. Scandalous is a very modern type of Warmblood with long legs that give her natural speed and scope. It’s a joy to watch this mare with her effortless style of jumping and her enormous ground-covering strides. Te mare is owned by Jackie Mars, Mrs. Robin Parsky and Michael and Phoeby Manders and has an impressive show record. She and Marilyn have amassed an extensive number of wins, including at Fair Hill, the U.S. Eventing Championships, Ocala International, Red Hills in Tallahas- see, the Carolina International in Raeford, the Pine Top International in Tomsen, Te Fork International in Nor- wood and team and individual gold medals at the 2015 Pan American Games. To top it all off, this pair just won the CIC 3* at the Fork held in Tryon, North Carolina. Tere they remained at the top of the leader board in all phases only suf- fering some time faults on cross-country. Marilyn also rides RF Quarterman, a nine-year-old Old- enburg gelding owned by her family’s Raylyn Farm. Tis fel- low successfully competes at both the 3-star level in eventing and at 1.30m in showjumping. He’s another very successful horse that just happens to be an Oldenburg. Overdressed is another of Marilyn’s steeds on his way to
glory. At just 10 years old, he is in his prime and has won or placed in eight events up to the 3-star level. Tis Hanoverian is another great boost for German breeding. A fierce competitor with an overarching love of horses,
Marilyn has hit a home run with her Oldenburg horses. We wish her well in all her endeavors, both in eventing and show jumping. In either discipline, all of us in the Oldenburg community will certainly be rooting for her!
