2010WEG: Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital
LEXINGTON, KY—Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital will provide veterinary services for the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games test events, as announced today by the World Games 2010 Foundation, Inc.
As the Official Equine Hospital and Veterinary Partner for 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games, Rood and Riddle has extended its partnership with the Games to provide veterinary services for a series of test events beginning in 2009. The test events, each called The Kentucky Cup, will allow the World Games 2010 Foundation, Inc. to prepare for the world championships coming to the Kentucky Horse Park in 2010.
“Rood and Riddle is very pleased to provide the veterinary services for The Kentucky Cup test events,” said Dr. Tom Riddle. “Our entire staff of veterinarians looks forward with great excitement to serving the sport horse industry, both at the test events and the 2010 Games.”
Lexington-based Rood & Riddle is a full-service equine hospital established in 1986 as a referral center for horses requiring specialized medical and surgical care. Today, Rood & Riddle is known and respected throughout the world for its innovative and highly skilled treatment of horses. The hospital facility offers a full range of services including surgery, internal medicine, advanced diagnostic imaging, a focused Podiatry Center and a specialized Reproductive Center. The practice also provides ambulatory services (on-site care) for breeding farms, sport horse facilities, horse shows and events, with a variety of services, including emergency and preventative care, general reproduction, lameness, radiography, podiatry, and internal medicine.
“We are very fortunate to extend our partnership with Rood and Riddle through the test events for the 2010 Games, and to have the services of such a high-caliber equine hospital available to our equine athletes,” said Competition Director Kate Jackson.
The competitions will begin in 2009 and run through the 2010 Rolex Three-Day Event. All events will be held at the Kentucky Horse Park. Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital will manage the veterinary needs for all test events. A complete schedule of all Kentucky Cup test events is available at www.feigames2010.org.
The Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games are the world championships of eight equestrian disciplines recognized by the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI), and are held every four years. The Games have never before been held outside of Europe; nor have all eight disciplines competed at a single site—both firsts that will be achieved at the Kentucky Horse Park.
The Games will be broadcast on NBC Sports, which has marked the largest commitment to network coverage of equestrian sport in U.S. television history. The 2010 Games are expected to have a statewide economic impact of $150 million, and other current sponsors include Alltech, Rolex, John Deere, Ariat International, Inc. and Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital.

Chile: Enduro Ecuestre en la Patagonia
Club de Campismo
La cuenta era regresiva para que llegara el 23 de febrero: el día del Enduro, el anhelado reencuentro con la Patagonia y lo que más me gusta de ella; su gente, la tierra, los caballos y los gauchos.
El Enduro es un carrera ecuestre de resistencia a campo traviesa, cruzando ríos, bosques y cerros. Por esto mismo implica al menos un mes de preparación de los caballos: sacarlos a galopar, darle una alimentación específica, cepillarlos, etc. Tareas, a las cuales los gauchos y la Gaela le han puesto todo el corazón y dedicación. Tenemos un equipo que se ha consolidado con el tiempo y, estoy segura ¡tenemos a los mejores!
Dos días antes de la carrera llega el camión “El Torito” y todos saben sus labores: sacar brillo a las monturas, juntar los baldes, separar las botellas, la comida y la parrilla (muy importante) para así al día siguiente llegar y cargar. En la noche al que le toca cocinar tiene suerte… varios comensales entusiasmados y el menú, de seguro carne con papas.
El próximo día temprano ya se ve mucho movimiento en las caballerizas. Se cargan los caballos y los aperos en el camión, tomar unos cuantos mates y nos fuimos. José se queda a cargo del rancho. Silvio y Mario van en el camión y el resto, gracias a la bondad de algún chofer, llega al lugar de la carrera. Una vez allá, inscribimos los caballos y la tarde queda para seguir tomando mate, reencontrarse con viejos amigos y conversar de lo que más nos gusta: de caballos, ¡si podríamos pasar horas hablando de ellos!
El día de la carrera nos despierta el viento, si hasta levantaba las piedras! Pero eso no desanima a nadie, todo lo contrario, están todos listos y entusiasmados: caballos, jinetes, herreros, espectadores y aguateros, esperando la largada, y así se pasó el gran día. Montada de a caballo en la tierra que más quiero, cada paso un destino, cada tranco un recuerdo y cada galope una vida, y pienso: “si galopamos por tantas huellas… no me vayas a fallar zaino, seguí pa` adelante!
Este lindo recuerdo de una experiencia más en la Patagonia me deja feliz, pero sólo por un tiempo. Porque como dice una muy buena canción, nunca jamás se abandona lo que llorando se deja.
