With the help of Emmy Adwers, for the 2003 winter season Dr. Parra purchased property and built a new equestrian center in Jupiter, Florida, which is just north of West Palm Beach and gives easy access to equestrian activities at Wellington and Loxahatchee. "It’s a top quality facility. It’s very, very pretty and very quiet," said Dr. Parra. "We’re looking forward to enjoying many winters under our covered arena." Read Dr Cesar Parra’s Who’s Who

Last year Ann Guptill and her husband Ed Iarusso became the proud parents of Nicholas John, or “Nick”. “Things in life are never the same after a child is born into the family!” exclaimed Ann. “However, I am able to continue my work very much the same as before. I have a terrific nanny, Anita, who is a rider, used to be our stable manager and has been a student of mine since we started Fox Ledge Farm in 1990. Read Ann Guptill’s Who’s Who

Already a successful rider, trainer and teacher, Ruth Hogan-Poulsen always looks ahead to a new challenge. While establishing herself in the mid-90s, she took up freestyle choreography and won Devon’s Intermediare I Freestyle the following year. Continuing to expand her training barn every year, she now has another new business adventure on the horizon – Dressage Test Tutors, a 3-volume audiocassette series for use both on and off the horse. “Test Tutors are a fabulous tool for those of us who have to work on our own much of the time… They’re terrific!” agrees Jane Savoie, Olympic Alternate.
