Denver Equestrians & Zuma's Rescue Ranch

team up to serve at-risk kids and families with

Vemma Next!

Corinne & Jodi

Were you able to attend the Zuma's Rescue Ranch annual fundraiser in July? 

Troy & Sandy

If so, you probably remember Devon Kerns and Jay Morrison of Heart Core Alliance

(far left and far right, below).

My husband Troy is on the Board of Directors at Zuma's Rescue Ranch. He met these two young visionaries while working on the fundraiser. Corinne met them just before they surprised Paul and Jodi Messinech with a brand new MINI VAN ~ donated for the purpose of transporting kids that would otherwise not have a ride to the barn for therapy.

That caught my attention.

Since then, Denver Equestrians has partnered with Devon and Jay from

HeartCore Alliance to help spread the word about 

Vemma Next

the most complete nutritional supplement available for children.

As a mom, I do my best to ensure Charlie and Josh get what their growing minds and bodies require daily. However I know they do not always eat their fish, fruits and vegetables, and are often lacking

vital omegas, vitamins and minerals.

Taking that one step further, it breaks my heart to think about the millions of children who don't know where their next meal will come from, much less if there will be green leafy vegetables on the plate.

This is where Vemma Next completes the puzzle for so many families.

This is the best part:

When you purchase a months supply of Vemma Next for your children, Vemma donates serving for serving to a child in need.

Because of their relationship with Devon and Jay, Zuma's Rescue Ranch is now one of the 501c3 non-profit recipients of Vemma Next donations.

Isn't it great to know that when your kids drink their super juice (thats what my kids call it!),

so do the at-risk youth in homeless shelters, orphanages and in therapy at Zuma's Rescue Ranch?

Please join us!

*We would love to see all of our riders in this amazing nutritional program.*

Please follow our Vitality with Vemma link to watch the video describing the Vemma Next mission.

If you have questions about this amazing program, or would like to place an order,

please call Corinne at 612-964-6467. 

Happy Riding!

Press Release July 7, 2010:

Denver Equestrians and Zuma's Rescue Ranch Day Camp Program

Denver Equestrians' Summer Camp Program

kicked off the season with our first summer session last week!

Our sessions are limited to six riders per week. Three riders from the Pony Club joined us, and we also three new campers. Everyone was able to make new friends and strengthen existing friendships at the barn~

On Monday, we learned about Safety, Grooming and Horse Care.

The girls toured the facility and met all the horses.

The campers loved their horse assignments!

Tuesday we studied tack, parts of the saddle and bridle, and horse anatomy. We also learned the basics of proper English riding, and the girls were eager to learn how to post the trot!

Wednesday, we learned about horse breeds, history, colors and size.

We spent time cleaning tack and learning about how to set grain (feed) and clean up after the horses in the stalls and in the paddocks.

Thursday we all enjoyed a day on the trail.

Following the ride, campers learned how to bathe and clip their horses, in preparation for the fun show!

Friday the girls were able to demonstrate what they had learned for their parents and friends at the fun show. Everyone had such a wonderful time!

THANK YOU, GIRLS~ FOR A WONDERFUL WEEK AT CAMP!

Campers: Rose, Shay, Andersen, Juliet, Ava and Naomie

Councilors In Training: Halle & Marline

Several Summer 2010 camp weeks are sold out, however there is limited space available.

I am happy to announce the arrival of my Trak/Russian Hanoverian yearling "Providence!"

Isabell Werth's Olympic Champion Gigolo FRH Passes Away

The liver chestnut Hanoverian gelding was humanely putdown September 23, 2009. Gigolo's general health conditiondeteriorated rapidly following an injury and the veterinarian decidedit was in Gigolo's best interest that he was euthanized. "I'm so sad,"Werth said. "Gigolo became 26 years old and he accompanied me for over20 years. He was my friend, schoolkmaster and comrade. His reliabilityand willingness to work were two of his extraordinary traits. 26yearsold is a respectable age for a horse and I'm happy that I was able togive him a very nice retirement after his sport career."

Gigolo was bred by Horst Klussmann in 1983 and was by Graditz outof Bunett (by Busoni xx). He was acquired by Werth's initial sponsorand trainer Uwe Schulten-Baumer in 1989.

Gigolois currently the most successful dressage horse of all times. UnderIsabell Werth he also won Olympic gold at the 1996 Olympics in Atlantaand he claimed individual Olympic silver twice. He was double WorldChampion and four times European and German Champion.

His stringof success started in 1991 when he won team and individual gold at theEuropean Championships in Donaueschingen. He achieved more gold at theEuropeans in 1993, 1995 and 1997. He won team and individual gold atthe 1994 and 1998 World Equestrian Games and team gold. He won Olympicteam gold in 1992, 1996 and 2000, individual gold in 1996 andindividual silver in 1992 and 2000.

Gigolo and Fabienne, a fewweeks ago Gigolo was retired from competition at the Stuttgart GermanMasters on 24th October 2000 and he enjoyed his retirement at IsabellWerth's stable in Rheinberg.

"Gigolo spent his days in the fieldwith his friend Fabienne," said Werth. "He was so decisive in my lifeand I can look back with great gratitude on our years together. I'msure Gigolo won't be forgotten."
