Sommersby Farms in Oviedo
Lauren Kellar and Celtic
Sommersby Farms is a 30 stall barn located in
the Black Hammock area of Oviedo. We sit on
10 acres and have ample grass pastures; nice
sized arenas equipped with a full show
jumping course and a boarder tack room
that's air conditioned and has been updated
with custom wood lockers and a TV/DVD.
Being a native to the area, I was fortunate
enough to stumble upon this barn, which at
the time was a “diamond in the rough”. Eight
years ago, the barn was known as a partial
board barn and wasn't really into the horse
show scene.
Sydni Glick and Henry at GOHJA
Now with the loyalty and commitment of my
boarders and students, Sommersby has been
able to turn itself into the full service show
barn that it is today, and we are proud to have
a positive family atmosphere.
We are actively involved with both local and
'A' rated showing but our barn welcomes all
types of riders whether you take one lesson a
week just for fun or are a top show
competitor in the hunter or jumper ring.
When we show locally, we prefer to attend
the GOHJA shows that are held at Clarcona
Horseman's Park in Apopka once a month. I
find that those shows bring a lot of team
support to our barn and give our trainers a
chance to evaluate where our students are in
their riding from month to month which
helps them prepare for the next show.
HITS and WEF are the barn's favorite show
circuits when we travel in Florida. Every year
we go to HITS for the whole winter season
and this year we had another great season.
Our HITS highlights were: Mandy Toor was
4.
Sommersby Farms Team
Reserve Circuit Champion for the Level 2
Jumpers on her horse Dino. Georgie
Hammond was Grand Champion in Short
Stirrup for one of the weeks and won second
place in the Bit O' Straw Classic on her new
horse Perfect Partner.
Georgie Hammond
Marisa Durocher showed for the first time in
an “A” show in the Short Stirrup division on
her pony Princess Fiona placing 2nd, 4th and 5th.
Celtic and I were Reserve Circuit Champion in
the Level 3 Jumpers, Grand Champion for
week 6 and Reserve Champion for week 4.
Celtic moved up to the Level 4 and Level 5
Jumpers during the season. Brian Plostnicks
showed at PSJ in February at Canterbury
winning 3rd place in the $5000 mini prix
aboard Qwazi.
Juta and Bounce at GOHJA
Hannah Russell's horse, LaJolie, was Grand

Champion Hunter Mare at the 4H District
Show and one of our ponies, Henry, shown
by Caroline Jackson, was Grand Champion
Hunter Gelding. Juta and her horse Bounce
were Grand Champion Child Adult Jumper
at the GOHJA show in May.
We also hold shows at our barn twice a year.
The next show at our barn will be in the fall
and we are in the process of getting
approval to hold Marshall and Sterling
Classes! Twice a year we hold clinics at
Sommersby with some of the top
equestrians in the industry. Our last clinic
was a huge success with Grand Prix and
Olympic level Rider Debi Connor of
Reddick, FL, as our clinician.
Being able to do well at shows has a lot to do
with foundation work, horsemanship,
regular training for the horse and rider, as
well as keeping a healthy and sound horse.
At Sommersby, we have relationships with
top equine professionals to keep our horses
feeling their best and in top working
condition.
The barn has three trainers, each
specializing in different areas. I
Contd. Sommersby Farms in Oviedo
(Lauren) teach our advanced students who
show regularly. Beth Collier teaches our
beginner students up to the advanced
students, and really gives them a good
foundation that prepares them for the show
ring. Barb Kellar teaches our beginner to
intermediate riders. As an elementary
school teacher for Seminole County, she
also incorporates fun into lessons for the
younger riders.
We are currently in the process of
revamping our lesson program and
bringing in horses suitable for rated shows.
More importantly they will have the
experience to help teach our students lead
changes and to navigate around a proper
hunter or jumper course getting the right
strides down the lines.
When in the market for your next horse or
pony, look to our barn. We have a nice
selection of hunters, jumpers, and ponies
available for sale year round. We have an
amazing sales team that will help you find
the perfect match for any budget. Leasing is
another option and there are different
programs available.
At Sommersby, we are constantly striving
to improve and upgrade our facilities and
we welcome visitors, so if it has been awhile
since you have seen us-just stop by! We
would love to give you a tour. Please feel
free to call the barn at 407.366.5798 or visit
u s o n t h e w e b a t

your usual barn in that we take a truly
personal interest in all our clients and
would love for you to join us as we progress
and grow.

When the horse gene surfaces in a child, what's an equestrian-
challenged parent to do? One mom shares what works for her child and
family.
Horse Crazy
By Kathe Jackson
In my experience, there are two types of little girls born into this
world: those who love dolls and those who love horses. I was one of
the former, happily spending my early years playing with winking,
wetting, head-turning baby dolls and graduating to the ever-popular
bride doll and swimsuit Barbie. So when my 8-pound-6-ounce baby
daughter came along, it didn't dawn on me that the doll gene might not
be passed on.
A series of holidays and birthdays brought a surprisingly large
accumulation of real-baby facsimiles, Beach Barbies, Polly Pockets,
and even a big-eyed Bratz doll or two. But unloved and untended, these
soon found their way into the underbed storage container, the kiss of

Yes, I knew fairly early on that my daughter was of the horse-loving or visit
persuasion, but no one told me that it might not be just a passing fancy,
like dolls are for most girls. As a preschooler, she had the requisite www.spaynsave.org

 A Word from Wendy
I hope to write monthly about things that
people may find interesting and hopefully
relevant to everyone that owns a hunter or
a jumper. This month I chose to discuss
specifically the jumper schooling area at
USEF sanctioned shows.
It is my belief that most people are
ignorant about some of the rules and not
intentionally disrespectful of them!
Beyond the rules as they are stated there
are a few other common courtesy
practices that more people should be
made aware of. At most of the bigger
shows you have a starting order. If there
are 3 jumps available in the schooling area
usually the first person competing will
choose their jump and the rest will follow,
so if rider one picks the jump on the left,
usually rider two will go to the middle and
three to the other end. Then, 4 should go to
one, 5 should go to 2, 6 should go to three
and so forth. Of course multiple students
with one trainer can change the order but
communication is the key! Speak and
share! Here in the US people tend to be
courteous about sharing jumps. In Europe
you are offered a vertical and an oxer. The
jump goes up and down-no one "owns it”.
You and probably 3 others jump when you
can.
Another issue is communication with
your in gate staff. They are there to help
and guide you through the day! Be
punctual and don't make them wait for
you to finish up with that final schooling
jump. Be ready to go when it is your turn
and when the rider before you is in the
ring be standing at the in gate ready to go.
We are one of the only countries that I am
aware of that doesn't pre-load. In Europe
and Canada they may have as many as two
riders getting ready to go while another is
completing their course.
My final suggestion is to read your
trainer's board and be on time! I try to
have a barn meeting nightly and again in
the morning to predict who will go when
and come up with the 'plan'. This includes
whatever preparation your horse may
need such as a ride in the morning or a
longe or whatever so you are not playing
catch up. If your trainer has many rings to
be in at the same time ask them where you
should be and when. For example be all
flatted and ready to jump when they arrive
in your schooling area. Know your course!
There is nothing worse than a loss due to
not being on time or not knowing your
course. Same thing goes for the course
walks. If your trainer is running all over
the show grounds, do them the courtesies
of knowing the general course and the
jump off! Especially the jump off!

6. Ground lines are not mandatory, however
if they are used they must be placed either
directly below the front of the jump or up to
3'3” (1 m) out. If a ground line is used on the
landing side of a jump there must be one on
the take off side, and it may not be any further

aminimum of 9'10” (3 m) from the jump.
9. If a rail is placed on the lip of a cup it must
be placed on the far side of the cup, and is
only allowed at an oxer if it does not cause the
front rail to be higher than the back rail (i.e.
offset).
10. There may never be more rails on the
back of an oxer than on the front of the same
oxer. When two (2) rails are used on the back
of an oxer, the lower rails on the front and
back elements must be of equal height. If the
oxer is flagged so that it may only be jumped
in one direction and there are two or more
poles on the back of an oxer, the lowest of the
poles may be equal to, but no lower in height
than the top pole of the front of the oxer.
11. A cross rail may only be made at a vertical
either by itself or below a single rail lower
than 4'3” (1.30 m), or if the overall jump is
lower than 4'3” (1.30 m) at the front of an
oxer, with a minimum distance A Contd.

Sport Horse Auctions
“It's great to see each country finally
developing its own top jumpers. We've
always been behind the Europeans but
are catching up- maybe not on
breeding our own but certainly in
developing them. In Europe they have
lots of horse auctions. We only have a
few and they haven't been successful.
Usually people put in (not) their best
horse. Nona Garson from The Ridge
stable has tried to put on an auction at
their farm in Wellington during the
WEF and has a hard time selling all the
horses. The auctions have not caught
on here. Years ago Paul Shockmoeller
brought his famous auction the PSI
auction to an event in RI called the
American Jumping Derby. A fabulous
event.- he was very successful that one
time but none of the horses proved to
be as good as the people thought so it
never happened again. Gene Mische
put on an auction in Tampa during the
shows and the horses sold relatively
cheap so the buyers where happy but
not the sellers.” –Debbie Stephens,
Centennial Farm
“I have been asked to participate in
some auctions. I feel they take a lot of
organizing and advertising. An auction
can't just be quickly planned. People
are leery of sport horse auctions
because they have been to some where
horse's prices were run up by owner
contacts and then announced sold but
were not. Some auctions require the
seller to provide x-rays which are very
expensive especially when your horse
does not sell. Trying to reach the right
buyers is another problem. Buyers
come expecting to spend little money
and are surprised when the horses are
priced at $20,000 and above. It is good
to have previews where a horse can be
shown and maybe even ridden or
vetted. This should be agreed upon by
the seller. It is hard for a seller to enter
their horse in an auction and then have
no one bid more than $15,000 on a
8.
$30,000 horse because that is the price
range people have money for. If the
highest bid is way under value, it could be
assumed by future potential buyers that
the horse is worth its max bid. Some
success has been had with silent bidding.
The buyer comes to the site of sale and
sees the horse ridden etc. and then makes
a silent bid. The bids are accepted for a
period of time and then the owner
decides if any of the bids have come up to
the reserve. In the recent years with the
economy the way it is the auctions have
not done as well as they had in the past. It
is a good idea but a lot of thought, work,
and organization are involved and still
that is no guaranty that it will be a
success. I think it is a great idea but hard
to make successful. “–Candace L. Rich,
CAV-I Farm
“I've been involved in a few sport horse
specific auctions and some other breed
auctions so I have had a little taste of the
scene. I personally think auctions in
general can be a good thing. A well-
planned auction can be entertaining for
visitors, educational for interested

individuals, profitable for owners and
successful for bidders. There are exceptions
to the rule however. I've seen thoroughly
planned auctions with high quality horses
produce very little in sales. I've also been
witness to glamorous auctions that sell
mediocre horses for very high prices. I think
that if you attend an auction with the intent
to buy, educate yourself or find a trusted
advisor to help you with the process. This
leads into the dual agency aspect. I think
that if the agents are ethical, knowledgeable
and experienced I think that the person can
lead buyers in a positive direction. However,
the opposite can happen too. I had a
conversation with a local sales agent whom I
consider very ethical regarding dual agency.
This person explained to me that the good
agents will have the buyers best interest at
heart and will endeavor to meet the
requirements for the horse. A good agent
will work diligently to make the customer
happy as they know that positive
experiences generate repeat business or
word of mouth referrals. Another aspect to
auctions is to make sure that a trusted vet
could either be there with you or evaluate
the pre-purchase exam reports. One's
personal vet knows the
requirements of their clients.
They will be able to best advise
the client on any medical
issues that arise.” –Laurie Ann
Salmi, Pink Horse Performance
“I hate auctions! I think
Americans don't understand
the concept that the Euro's and
South Americans love so. I
think if you are buying very
young horses auctions are
okay-but once the horses get
older you need to know their
character which is very hard
to evaluate in an auction
setting.” -Anonymous

Canterbury News
From Wendy Low
We just had a wonderful USDF May Days
show with 122 horses, 3 rings, 3 judges, and
lots of happy people. The Freestyle Challenge
was exciting with 32 rides ranging from FEI
Young Riders to First Level to Intermediarre.
A complete list of winners will be on the
results page of the website:
www.canterburyshowplace.com. The new
footing was a huge hit. Riders gave it thumbs
up. We've now placed it in the outdoor warm
up ring as well, it helps keep the dust down
and is spongy, level and the horses love it.
The rides this year were fantastic with
some scores in the 70's. There were many
fine horses and Erin Brinkman's Imminence
is one to watch in the future. The pair walked
off with Training and First Level Highpoint.
The Juniors and Young riders came out in
force, Mary Cameron-Rollins (see photo
below) took top freestyle FEI honors and a
check for $200 with 73.750% and Katrin
Dagge on Dream of Love won the First-Third
Level Freestyle Challenge with a 73.125%.
The weather although a tad hot was great for
showing. The whole feel of the show was
energetic, positive with lots of laughs going
on in the show office mostly due to Alex
Fax your pre-entries to 321-978-0231
Robertson's look on life! This is the 5th year of
the May Day Qualifier and it keeps getting bigger
and better. Next year we hope to go 3 days and
offer the High Performance Horse classes. Since
we had a wait list we will plan on 4 judges. Hope
to see everyone at the October 3-4 Ride Lite
Show! Prize list available June 13th. Always
something interesting at Canterbury!
GOHJA, Inc.
31st Annual Benefit Horse Show
From Wendy Trocano
WOW!!! What a success!!! With a crew of mostly
volunteers, the Greater Orlando Hunter Jumper
Association organized and presented its 31st
Benefit Show. This is the one show a year that
members get together to put on a show with all
the proceeds going to the organization. Those
monies are then used to host the annual awards
banquet.
Steve and Heidi Lengyl officiated over the two
days, judging 170 entries in all levels and types
of classes. There were 4 Hunter Classics
sponsored by McAbee Veterinary Hospital,
Brookmore Farms, Waters Edge, and Wendover
Place and one Jumper Stake sponsored by
Mardebri Manor. Gracie Ryan and her pony
Pirouette scored two 90s to win the Waters
Edge Short/Long Stirrup Classic! Many thanks

to all who made these special classes
possible.
GOHJA introduced a new line of products
all containing the GOHJA logo by giving
these items as the awards for class winners.
Hats, T-shirts, aprons, notebooks, bags, etc.
were a big hit and our now available at
cafepress.com for purchase.
GOHJA's new Fundraising Chairperson,
Lauren Kellar, organized a silent auction of
several different types of baskets donated
by local businesses and individuals.
Bidding lasted both days and was hotly
contested for the Cinco de Mayo basket,
which was eventually won by Nancy Hirt.
Enjoy!
This year's awards banquet will be held
November 21, 2009 at the Orlando Marriott
Lake Mary in the Grand Ballroom from 6:30
to Midnight. Plans are already being made
as to menus and types of awards.
Invitations to this fun-filled evening will be
sent the first week of October. Check out the
website gohja.org for all the details.
The bottom line… this was the most
successful show GOHJA has ever had. The
Board wishes to thank everyone who
donated time and money to help make the
31st the best yet!

Fox Lea Farm:
Schooling Shows to Grand Prix
By Courtney Weinzimer
(This privately owned, 46 acre show
venue in Venice, FL hosts over 30 shows
every year and has been doing so since
1985. They successfully cover all levels
of showing, from a non-rated
“economically friendly” schooling series
(8 shows) to not just 1 but 3 Grand Prix
show jumping events each year. There
are 3 dressage shows, 4 “C” rated shows
and 9 “A” rated. This year the USEF South
Zone 4 Championship will be hosted
during their November “A” show, one
which also boasts a $25K Grand Prix.
Fox Lea has accumulated a strong
following amongst Central Florida show
barns. Here's what some of them have to
say about Fox Lea Farm:
“I like the footing, the bank and that they
are trying to have real Grand Prix' there
and attracting some good riders by
having good course designers etc. I've
suggested that they purchase a water
jump as it would be a fabulous place for
juniors and especially young riders to
come and learn how to jump water.
Since Wellington is the only other place
in Florida that has a water jump it would
be another “feather in their cap” so to
speak. HITS Ocala does not offer a water
jump, nor do the events at Mississippi or
Atlanta. I think they are on the right
track and it (Fox Lea) would be a great
facility to host some young rider training
sessions!”
