Baroque and Beautiful…….The Lipizzaner.

soar, I am a hawk: he trots
the air; the earth sings
when he touches it; the
basest horn of his hoof is
more musical than the pipe
of Hermes. ...”

The most prolific winning
country turned out to be Italy
with the Italian National
anthem heard numerous
times.
The anthem was encouraged
by a very patriotic Italian man
who stood at the front conducting the crowd and encouraging his countrymen to
sing along fervently. He
raised many a smile from the
crowd all of whom responded
with much applause.

2014 LIPICA THREE
STAR DRIVING EVENT
DR. JOHANN AND MRS LOUISE KRUTZLER
From the 26th to the 29th of June Lipica Federal Stud Farm in Slovenia hosted a three
star world cup qualifier for horse and pony
singles, pairs and fours.
Contestants at this event were looking for a
“last chance” to qualify for the world cup final
to be held later in the year in Hungary.
Competitors came from Austria, Estonoia,
Germany, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands,
Poland, Slovenia, Switzerland and Slovakia.
Lipica is such a lovely venue for a driving
event with permanent outdoor driving arenas
and some beautiful scenic paddocks behind
the main stadium from which to stage the
marathon and obstacles.

The weather was mostly fine although showers did threaten from time to time. The first day of the dressage was
interesting and enjoyable to watch with the various horse and pony breeds going through their paces. There were
the numerous ground jury people taking part as are required for a world cup qualifier with one coming all the way
from the USA. All the horses, people and vehicles were beautifully presented on the day and most of the dressage
entries proved worthy viewing.
The Sunday looked promising weather wise for the marathon, culminating in seven obstacles or “hazards” as they
have been known. .
Obstacle 1
Obstacle one was not as pleasing
for the spectators, as it proved difficult to view from the usual distance and consisted of white posts
and green rails incorporating
gates, squares and rectangles to
negotiate.
A couple of competitors came unstuck here and at least one was
forced to retire after rolling the vehicle onto the side. The new rules
curtail continuation of the event if
rolling of a vehicle happens
Obstacle 2
Obstacle two was possibly a little
easier with various shaped wooden
planks, but still seemed to test the
stopping and turning ability of the
horses.
The stone monoliths looked very
foreboding indeed placed centrally
in some of the structures.
Obstacle 3
Obstacle three appeared to flow
for the competitors and was pleasing to the eye for spectators.
It also proved to be a good spot to
take some photos.
This obstacle consisted of large
logs on their sides with a rail on
the top, appearing to give sufficient room with which to negotiate
turns and changes of direction.
Obstacle 4
Obstacle four was the water and this
always draws a crowd.
The water had to entered and exited
three times with some small variations as to the options to take thereby making it quicker and more difficult or longer and easier.
Most of the horses happily entered
the water with a few horses being
hesitant and unsure of what may lie
beneath.
Obstacle 5
Obstacle five consisted of fourteen
large octagonal “circles” which
usually prove easier to move
around due to their shape.
Most competitors seemed to get
through this obstacle reasonably
well.
Obstacle 6
Obstacles six was similar to obstacle five, however it consisted
of evenly placed squares with
the difficulty being the sharper
corners to negotiate.
Obstacle 7
The final obstacle was in my
opinion the most difficult as it
was a series of triangles amongst
trees, with the difficulty being the
undulating ground and the requirement of whips to “double
back” during the negotiation.
The ground and going looked difficult with the obstacle existing in
a dam shape with a ridge at the
top. The undulating ground on
some strong cambers, combined
with the sharp turns proved too
much for some drivers and horses with many being slowed considerably.
The obstacle proved a real “test”
coming last when the horses
were tired and many had to reverse gear when the horses got
legs around the trees or posts.

SPOTLIGHT ON 201 PLUTO LINDA I
Go Paddy……...
A huge congratulations to our very own New Zealand member, Paddy Mair on
winning the prestigious New Zealand Kaimanawa Stallion Challenge.
The challenges gives the public a unique opportunity to see the results of wild
horses becoming trained mounts and more importantly saves the lives of these
stallions from slaughter during the biennial musters. Selected trainers have
been invited to take the challenge of competing in the Major Milestone at Equidays and the Stallion Makeover at the New Zealand Horse
of the Year Show. With approximately 150-250 days to
tame wild stallions, trainers will
compete for prizes while displaying the trainability of the
Kaimanawa horses at some of
the largest most prestigious
equestrian events. After going
through preliminary classes,
only the highest placing combinations make it through to the
finals.
