Hunter/Jumper shows have changed under Bill Moroney's tenure

Details: August 8, 2026; By SARA CAVANAGH

Bill Moroney has served as CEO of the U.S. Equestrian Federation for 10 years, and under his administration hunter and jumper shows have changed dramatically.

Bill Mornoney Bill MoroneyThe hunter/jumper calendar is dominated by series shows, weeks or more often months long, owned by private equity companies interested only in profit.

There are FEI rated horse shows weekly, sometimes as many as four in one weekend.

Customer service and coverage of international competitions and promotion of human and equine stars are sadly lacking.

Trainers and exhibitors clearly love the changes to the competition calendar, as horse shows without an FEI rating don't fill.

Series of shows such as HITS, Traverse City, Tryon, the Winter Equestrian Festival, the World Equestrian Center and Thermal means less expense for exhibitors and less stress on horses with having to van to shows week after week.

But these series have almost entirely wiped out smaller, local one day and weekend shows, which in turn have eliminated most local trainers as they have no place for their students to show.

DEVON, Pa.--One of the most respected figures in international dressage will take center stage at Dressage at Devon this September as Olympic medalist and renowned trainer Carl Hester MBE leads The Capital Square Masterclass on Sept. 24 at 6p.m. in the historic Dixon Oval.

Dress at Devon 1 With a career spanning more than three decades, Hester has become synonymous with excellence in the sport.

A multiple Olympic medalist, European Champion, World Championship medalist, and mentor to many of the world's top riders, he has played a pivotal role in elevating British dressage while remaining deeply committed to education and horse-centered training.

Learning from One of the Sport's Great Teachers

Known for his straightforward and practical teaching style, Hester has earned admiration not only for his success at the highest levels of competition, but also for his ability to make complex training concepts accessible to riders of all levels.

The Capital Square Masterclass will focus on the fundamentals that have defined Hester's approach throughout his career: correct basics, rider confidence, effective communication, and the development of systems that support long-term success.

Attendees can expect an evening centered on practical takeaways rather than theory alone, with demonstrations and insights designed to help riders strengthen their partnerships with their horses regardless of competitive goals.

"My goal for the masterclass is to provide practical insights that riders can take away and use immediately. Dressage should be about understanding your horse, building confidence and creating a system that allows both horse and rider to perform at their best," he said. "Dressage at Devon is an iconic event, and I'm excited to be part of it."

To insure or not to insure. That is the question. See Blue Bridle for the answer

Details: July 24, 2026; By Staff Writers

If your horse was injured or became ill would you have the finances available to pay the medical bills?

Blue ins 1 The Mortality policy, or life insurance on the horse, covers death due to accident, illness or disease and includes theft of the animal.

This insurance policy is available on foals as young as 24 hours of age and horses up to age 20.

You can add to the Mortality policy, additional medical options such as Major Medical, Surgical and/or Colic coverage to help defray the cost of necessary veterinarian treatment for your horse.

Blue ins 2 Eligibility for these options varies depending on the carrier.

Besides protecting your horse, you should think about protecting yourself as a horse owner or your equine operations.

Do you have liability coverage if your horse were to injure someone or cause property damage?

What if your student were hurt in a lesson?

Blue ins 3 Many private horse owners assume that their homeowner’s insurance will provide liability coverage for their horse.

You risk losing everything if you are confronted with a lawsuit and do not have proper insurance coverage.

Unique equestrian treasures created by Eileen for Tempi Design Studio

Details: November 1, 2025; By Staff Writers

Tempi Design Studio was born by Eileen with the desire to create unique equestrian treasures.

temp 1 Each design series is meant to look different, capturing a certain breed, pose and motion, in a raised relief with very fine detail.

With a background in dentistry, these creations are first carved in wax , drip by drip, carved and added until the design is perfected.

Next, the wax pattern is cast by the Lost Wax method.

This method includes multiple steps, with hours in between, and oven time.

temp d 2 Once cast, the design is sandblasted clean and the finishing process begins.

Eileen refines the rough casting into her next vision with a dremmel type tool using sandpaper discs and diamond burs.

This original casting becomes the "prototype" and is replicated in a mold making process, which can then be injected by hot wax, and cast as a duplicate over and over and over.

This is how all designs are "born".

With 15 years of designs, the number of molds is extensive.

temp d 3 And, no, the molds do not last forever.

They do have a shelf life.

The material eventually breaks down into a soft paste and is unusable.

So, keeping a prototype is a must to preserve the work effort of the design and remaking a mold if desired.

Over the years, ideas for these designs have been chosen by action photos seen in the news of horse and riders.

Additionally business logos can be made dimensional and make a striking buckle, key fob, ornament, or jewelry piece.

Recently, Eileen helped Dressage at Devon celebrate their 50th Anniversary with a design series utilizing their logo.

temp d 4 A buckle design with a belt was even presented to Ingrid Klimke during the event, which she proudly wore for her "Master Class" on Thursday eve.

Tempi is a sole proprietor business and Eileen enjoys meeting her customers at the same shows year after year, sort of "catching up" on their horsey lives.

Additionally, Tempi has an extensive online store where you can browse the many designs, which has extended beyond just horses.

Creating is what keeps Eileen engaged in this intensive work.

Take a look at the "Collections" online , posted video clips or the various magazine pdf coverages of her unique style of work.

HAPPY HORSE = HAPPY RIDER,

Belm rubber 1 There are a few things a horse needs to be happy and perform well.

Food, Water, Love, and COMFORT.

A truly comfortable horse will perform at its best and one of the best ways to ensure comfort is a high quality rubber mattress in the stalls, slip resistant rubber in the walkways and washbays and stable footing on all incline areas in the barn.

High quality rubber is not easy to create which is why the team at Kraiburg Belmondo in Germany, has spent years perfecting the art of making some of the highest quality rubber mats on the market.

Anna Gezon's AG Equine Massage Shows Why Bodywork Is Becoming Part of Modern Horse Care

Details: June 30, 2026; By Staff Writers

As horse owners and riders, we invest in our horses' health through routine veterinary care, dental floating, farrier visits, saddle fitting, and proper nutrition.

Gezon 1 But one important piece of the puzzle is often overlooked: maintaining the muscles and fascia that allow the horse to move comfortably and perform at their best.

The equine muscular system is made up of more than 700 muscles that work together to create movement, generate propulsion, stabilize joints, and maintain posture.

Gezon 2 These muscles don't work in isolation—every stride relies on multiple muscles working together in balance.

When one area becomes tight, weak, or sore, other muscles begin to compensate, altering movement throughout the body and increasing the risk of injury over time.

Bodywork isn't just for injured horses.

Gezon 3 Whether your horse is a high-level competitor, a weekend trail partner, or a retired pasture companion, every horse benefits from feeling comfortable in their own body.

Regular bodywork helps improve mobility, support recovery, encourage relaxation, and keep horses moving more freely.

No two horses are alike, which is why every session is tailored to the individual.

By evaluating posture, movement, and areas of tension, treatment can be customized to address each horse's specific needs.

Depending on the horse, this may include hands-on massage, PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) therapy, cupping, and red light therapy to help reduce muscle tension, promote circulation, and support the body's natural recovery processes.

Gezon 4 One of the biggest misconceptions about bodywork is that it's only needed when something is wrong.

In reality, regular maintenance often helps identify small restrictions before they become larger problems.

A horse doesn't have to be showing obvious signs of discomfort to benefit from bodywork.

At AG Equine Massage LLC, my goal is simple: to help horses move more comfortably so they can perform, recover, and enjoy their jobs with greater ease.

When horses feel better, they're better able to do what we ask of them—and that's something every horse deserves.
