Audit alleges embezzlement at County Equestrian Park
Using correction fluid, a pen and the knowledge her bosses would not second-guess her, a secretary swiped $54,000 from every available revenue source at the Salt Lake County Equestrian Park, including the sale of manure, an audit released Friday alleges. "There was a 10-month period where there was no supervisor of the whole damn Equestrian Park.

The Road to Duesseldorf - Into The Home Straight
The penultimate qualifying round of the FEI World Cup Dressage Western
European League takes place at Neumunster, Germany this weekend, where
fans are due another top quality 'dressage feast'. As expected, entries are dominated by a strong German contingent. Heike Kemmer can sit this one out as she is still sitting pretty at the top of the points standings after two wins, one second and a third place this
season. Berlin winner Hubertus Schmidt, former title winner Isabell Werth and Ann-Kathrin Linsenhof are all out to increase their hold, as only two more German riders will be able to compete at the Duesseldorf final (a maximum of three per nation are eligible)...

Equestrian semis burr under saddle to neighborhood
If you asked Rick Hill for directions to his neighborhood, the simplest explanation might be: Take South Shore Boulevard until you get to the truck stop and turn there.The big 18-wheelers are not only ugly to look at but also create traffic jams on Sheffield -- the only road in and out of the community of about 60 homes, Hill said."They're moving semi trucks in there day and night, and it's getting to be a real nuisance," Hill said. "It's just a pile of trailers there.... No other neighborhood in Wellington has to put up with this." The trailers arrived with the start of the nearby Winter Equestrian Festival early last month and are used to haul hay and other supplies for the massive, eight-week series of upscale horse shows...

UCD vets to aid horses in their fourth Olympic Games
Working with world-renowned equestrians is standard for Drs. Jack Snyder and Sharon Spier, both of UC Davis, who will use their veterinary expertise at the 100th anniversary of the Olympic Games in Athens, Greece this summer. As large animal veterinarians, the two will head the Olympic equine referral hospital alongside an international team. Help will be available in the form of a full, on-site hospital prepared to treat between 250 and 300 horses. The services will benefit both smaller countries, which are unable to send their own veterinary representatives, and larger countries that can but need additional support. The horses will participate in three main events: jumping, dressage and three-day eventing - dressage, cross-country jumps and stadium jumps...

The problems continue for Ulla Salzgeber
The problems continue for the world's number one-rated dressage rider, who just was penalized with a two-month suspension from the German Equestrian Federation because her gelding, Rusty, tested positive for testosterone in last year's World Cup finals. ...Even worse for Salzgeber, the German Olympic Committee could bar her from the Athens Games, at which the Germans are favored to continue their reign in dressage, because athletes who have a doping offense on their record are not supposed to compete in championships.
