Devon Horse Show, Fair May 25- June 3
DEVON (Chester Co.) Top
American riders who are inter
national stars will be showing at
the Devon Horse Show and
Country Fair, May 2S-June 3.
From their ranks will proba
bly come the four-man team
that will represent the U.S. in
show jumping at the Sydney
Olympics this fall.
All four members of the 1996
Atlanta Olympics silver medal
team Leslie Howard, Anne
Kursinski, Peter Leone, and Mi
chael Matz will compete in
the Dixon Oval. So will all four
members of the 1999 Winnipeg
Pan American silver medal team
Margie Goldstein-Engle,
Alison Firestone, Howard, and
Peter Wylde.
Also competing will be
McLain Ward, who missed last
year’s Pan American team but is
aiming all his top horses toward
the selection trials for Sydney.
The first series of selection
trials take place at the U.S.
Equestrian Team’s headquarters
in Gladstone, N.J., on June 21,
23, and 25. The top 12 riders
from those trials will travel to
San Juan Capistrano, Calif., for
the final trials, Aug. 2,4, and 6.
The team of four plus an alter
nate will fly to Sydney for Olym-

herd We would expect, that even
though there are differences in
diy matter intakes as well as
production levels, that the MUN
to be within a range of plus or
minus 6 from the average. The
April and the February DHIA
information shows that we stray
Irom the normal expected range
Through cooperation with the
nutritionist we tracked the diets
that were fed during each of these
months and found an interesting
tiend The two months that
showed high MUNs above the
plus 6 from the average also were
months that the moisture of the
pic competition on Sept. 25 and
28 and Oct. 1.
Equestrian sports are one of
only a few in which males and
females compete against each
other on even terms. There are
three equestrian disciplines fea
tured at the Olympics show
jumping, dressage, and event
ing.
Equestrian sports are also one
of only a very few in which top
stars can continue to compete
and win for many years.
Matz of Collegeville rode in
his first games in 1976, then won
a place on the 1992 team for the
Barcelona Olympics. His finest
hour came in Atlanta in 1996,20
years after his first appearance
in the Olympics, where he was a
member of the silver medal team
and then had the honor of carry
ing his nation’s flag in the clos
ing ceremonies.
Matz is trying to win his way
onto this year’s Olympic team
with Judgment, owned and bred
by Mary Alice Malone’s Iron
Spring Farm in Coatesville.
Kursinski of Frenchtown,
N.J., was an alternate on the
1984 Los Angeles gold medal
winning team, a member of the
1990 Barcelona team, and a
member of two silver medal
Focus
TMR dropped to 46% for
February and 47% for April The
other three months ranged from
51% to 54% moisture. We now
suspect that low moisture levels
m the TMR led to greater sorting
and therefore more cows ate a diet
that was different than the target
This showed up as greater than
expected ranges foi the MUN
measurements taken on lest day
On this farm we now have
included one other nutrient to
balance - moisture We plan on
using MUN as well as physical
observations to measure if this
feeding management change is

teams, in Seoul in 1988 and in
Atlanta in 1996. She and her top
mount, Eros, won the American
Gold Cup at the Devon show
grounds in 1994 as well as plac
ing third the same year in the
Grand Prix of Devon.
Howard was a member of the
gold medal Los Angeles and the
silver medal Atlanta Olympic
teams as well as last year’s silver
medal Pan American team.
Howard of Fairfield, Conn., is
always a leading contender at
Devon and has won the leading
rider award there twice.
Ward, who was the 1999 lead
ing jumper rider at Devon, is
trying to make his first Olympic
team. He will show all three
horses that he is taking to the se
lection trials, last year’s Grand
Prix of Devon winner, Twist Du
Valon, as well as Galileo and
Rio.
Firestone, along with her
silver medal from Winnipeg,
was the highest placed Ameri
can at the 1998 Rome World
Championships.
Margie Goldstein-Engle, an
other silver team medalist in
Winnipeg, most recently won
the American Grandprix Associ
ation Leading Rider Award.
Peter Leone and Peter Wylde
are both contenders to watch.
