Back to News Recognition Awards 2009 December 4, 2009 These awards were introduced to recognize members who have had exceptional performance during the year - with a horse or horses that they have bred, ridden, trained. This year we have two very worthy recipients with top performances by their horses. Landioso and Jody Hartstone Jody Hartstone, Raglan Jody is a stallion owner, breeder, trainer and rider. She owns three current stallions - Landioso (Landgraf), Donnerwind V (Donnerschlag) and Belmont Golden Boy (Ramzes ll). She also owned the late Ramazotti (Ramiro Z). Jody is the current Horse of the Year Grand Prix title holder with her stallion Landioso plus the Bates National Grand Prix Champion with the Burkner Medal also in her trophy cabinet. She trains riders throughout the country as well as training her own horses and those she takes in for schooling and selling on behalf of clients. She is also North Island Vice President of the Warmblood Assn. LC Horse Farm, Clevedon Lindberg des Hayettes Steve Cohen has been breeding with the Selle Francais stallion Lindberg des Hayettes for about five years now. The stallion had a start to his jumping career in New Zealand then went to Canada to be jumped by Olympic medallist Eric Lamaze. Steve brought Lindberg back to New Zealand earlier this year to compete at Horse of the Year Show - where he was runner up for the Horse of the Year title with his new rider Samantha McIntosh. Since March, Lindberg has been taken to Europe where he continues to have success in the Grand Prix with Samantha. The farm was featured in the previous Newsletter - with fantastic photos of the progeny that are very typey and undoubtedly Lindberg's family!
