Virginian Wins 2009
Kentucky Cup Endurance Race
Former World Champion and longtime endurance athlete
Danielle McGunigal, 38, of Fort Valley, Virginia, led the pack
aboard Gold Raven in a final ride time of 06:30:41 to handily
claim the Gold. Even with such formidable assistance, McGunigal
held no punches in her estimation of what each horse-and-rider combination
faced during the race.
"I don't really know
what to say other than it was probably the most difficult ride
I've ever done because of the weather and the mud," she
admitted. "If we had had nice weather, it would have been
fantastic. But, with the mud and the rain and cold, it was just
almost like swimming uphill with a hole in your
paddle." Temperatures never left the 40s and a
persistent rain pelted the course from before dawn straight
through to the very end as winds howled. McGunigal of Fort
Valley, VA, began her competitive racing career at age eight, and
she won her first national championships at the age of 10. She
first became a member of the U.S. team at 15.

Please Help the U.S. Horse Industry by Taking this
Survey
The American Horse Publications (AHP) is conducting
an Equine Industry Survey to gauge participation trends in the
U.S. equine industry and seeks to gather information regarding
the most important issues facing the industry.
Those eligible to participate in the survey are men
and women, 18 years of age and older, who currently own, manage,
or lease at least one horse and live in the United States. The
survey closes Dec. 31, 2009.
This study is anonymous; this means
that no one, not even members of the research team, will be able
to associate information you give with responses. When the survey
results are tallied, only aggregated results will be presented.
"The AHP's member publications,
Web sites, and newsletters reach nearly 3 million people involved
in the horse industry in the United States and around the
world," said Kimberly S. Brown, current AHP president.
"We have been through a rough
year, and there are many stories out there of unwanted horses and
the decline of the horse industry," noted Brown. "But I
think the real story is the wanted horses and their owners who
are still strong despite the economic downturn.
"We think this is a great
opportunity for us to use our collective resources and reach into
the horse industry to get answers about how we are doing today,
how we think we'll be doing in the near future, and what we are
concerned about in our industry.
"Let's get 100,000 or more horse owners to
participate in this survey!" said Brown. "We have a
wonderful chance to come together to gather information that can
benefit us all, so spread the word!"
