Celebrating 60 Years of Washington International Memories


“Anyone who competed for the chance to ride in the Washington Inter- national Local Day division will remember how we used to head to the qualifying show mid-October at Paperchase in Middleburg, Virginia, in an attempt to earn a spot at the famous indoor show. It was 1989, the fi rst year I showed at Local Day in hopes of riding at the WIHS. I was 14-years-old, and defi nitely way, way out of my league in the Children’s Hunter division on my plain bay Thoroughbred mare who measured in at 14.3 7/8 hands. One thing is for sure, I don’t think there was a single person on the show grounds that would’ve thought the eventual 1989 champion was going to emerge from the rusted 3-horse van my Mom (who was also my trainer) and I puttered around to the shows in. I’ll never forget that perfect fall day. After going second in the jump


order, and waiting out 29 more trips, Satin Doll and I jogged in fi rst and second over fences to collect our ribbons. A win in the under saddle class gave us the championship ribbon along with a round pewter jew- elry box that still sits atop a dresser in my New York City apartment. In 1989, the Local Day fi nals consisted of a hack class, and then the


top horses were called back to jump two jumps. My little mare, lovingly referred to as Dolly, was so nervous. But somehow we managed a call back. Unfortunately, we rubbed a rail, which knocked us down to 10th place overall. But, I knew I was still lucky to walk away with a ribbon. In the years that followed, I had the opportunity to show three more times at the WIHS – one more time with Satin Doll, once with Surfside and the last time with the fanciest, yet the worst behaved, Moulin Jon – after collecting another Paperchase championship and a reserve cham- pion to qualify. I went on to add an eighth and ninth place ribbon to my tenth from WIHS, which are proudly on display in my dining room al- most thirty years later.” – Missy Green, Union Bridge/New York

“Way back in the day, in 1998, John Warden rode Ruby, I rode Joe and Frank Cubero rode the Incomporable H.B. Little to win the team competition on Hunt Night. We were riding for Goshen at the time. We won a trip foxhunting in Ireland! OMG, that’s 20 years ago. Boy do I feel old!” – Marjorie Warden, Woodstock


“I competed last year for my fi rst time. First attempt and fi rst time showing. It is the last show I have done with my horse Larry as he underwent colic surgery this past January and has spent the last year recovering and getting stronger. Thank- fully he has made a full recovery and will be going to his fi rst horse show in September. We hope we make the cut!” – Jessica Leonard, Ft. Washington
