Celebrating 30 Years of The Equiery, continued... September 2005
It always amazes
me how many people in the horse commu- nity came into our offi ce bearing food, and I don’t think any of it was healthy! Su- zie Floyd (pictured on our September 2005 cover) in particular with
her beautiful
riding clothes and slim fi gure had a fi eld day with us, particularly when she was taking her cooking classes! I gained 20 pounds in the fi ve years I worked there! T e baking was phenom- enal from her. – LuAnne Levens, former Associate Publisher
June 2006 While I was at T e
Equiery, the Mary- land Horse Council and this publication were crossing over in terms of accomplish- ing many things re- lated to the growth of the Maryland horse industry such as es- tablishing the Mary-
land Horse Industry Board and supporting it through the Feed Fund bill. In addition, there were talks about a Maryland Horse Park (re- ported in several issues including the feasibility study published in the June 2006 issue), tak- ing positions on Sunday hunting, and getting behind gambling so we could share a portion of those funds to help save Maryland’s horse industry, specifi cally racing. I also remember fondly Ross Peddicord in
bouncing periodically, interacting with
people like Jim Steele and Dorothy Troutman, living legends if you will; and so many oth- ers who are so vital to our industry. I learned more about other farms in the Maryland horse community while T e Equiery continued to be a source of information for those who needed to fi nd stables and products and information— legislative, supplies and otherwise. I am so very, very proud to have been part of T e Equiery team and I continue to applaud its eff orts and the unit- ing with MHC… the perfect combo! – LuAnne Levens, for- mer Associate Publisher
July 2008 I feel that this cover
captures a wonderful moment in time as the little boy realizes he has been slimed by his pony, and Muff y

looks completely innocent and is posed per- fectly. Brody and his family have moved out of state, and he is now 18 or 19. We gave him this as a poster one year at Expo, and the family still has it (even though he took up other sports in high school). T is photo was taken by another future cover subject, Jacqueline Morris, who was on our March 2019 cover. – Tracy McKenna, Associate Publisher

eral months of guid- ance and tips from former Art Director Derrick Cook, I was let loose to design my fi rst Equiery cover. I remember spending a lot of time playing with colors and fonts
until I felt it was ready to show the team. Just a few additional tweaks from our amazingly cre- ative group of Equiery staff ers and then off to the printer! – Katherine O. Rizzo, Editor-In-Chief/Art Director
October 2012 October
T e cover of our “Interna-
tional Issue” used to take turns every other year between the Washington Interna- tional Horse Show and Fair Hill Inter- national. In 2012, it was WIHS’ turn. For certain big issues, our
entire staff would collaborate to choose a cover image. Cover images are harder to come by then one would think; a remarkable photo does not always make a remarkable–or even doable–cover. But to me there was no other option in 2012 than Diana De Rosa’s photo of Elise Ledsinger aboard Practical. T e horse’s beautiful expres- sion, the bright colors of the tri-color champion ribbon were stunning! I worked for T e Equiery for a period of 79 monthly covers and to this day, that is my most favorite. - Jennifer Sponseller Webster, former Associate Publisher

runner-up best Equi- ery cover, it would be the March 2015 cover of James Sti- erhoff and the 2010 and 2012 Maryland Hunt Cup winner, Lucy Goelet’s Twill Do. We were cele-
brating James and Twill Do’s selection that year as winners of the Maryland Steeplechase As- sociation’s Hurdy Gurdy Award. I’m a big fan of timber racing and of Twill Do, in particular, so this particular choice was everything to do with subject matter, and not just artistic quality! - Jennifer Sponseller Webster, former Associate Publisher
January 2017 T e Equiery’s fi rst
glossy cover also happened to be the last Maryland Horse World Expo. Coated cover stock had fi nal- ly become fi nancially attainable but who knew that this Mary- land Horse World Expo would be our
last? T is issue marked the closing of a fruitful 18-year partnership. – Crystal Brumme Pickett, Founding Publisher
January 2018 A beautiful photo, a
spectacular layout by Art Director Kather- ine O. Rizzo, a fi tting tribute for the transi- tion to the New Year, and the new Equiery owner,
the Mary-
land Horse Council. A photo celebrat- ing snow and winter
was a brainstorm solution to the unfortunate last minute cancelation of Horse World Expo. We had not celebrated horses in the snow on a cover since December 1991. And I had such fun leading the Maryland Horse Council Executive Committee through the photo selection process - it was truly a collaborative eff ort - which to me meant that this ownership transition was the right thing to do, at the right time. - Crystal Brumme Pickett, Founding Publisher
August 2018 Almost a Cover -
I have been in love (obsessed) with this photo since the mo- ment it was submit- ted for the 2018 Foal Photo Contest... Greystone’s
Baron
instantly melted my heart! His cute little Fjord baby self just
exuded fun, curiosity, sweetness, simplicity and love. Plus, I just wanted to squish his fl uff y little face with his eyelashes for days! So it may not have been the actual cover for that August, but
