Enjoy your Spring edition of the USMMA Journal. We hope to publish quarterly, January, April, July and October.
One of the things we hope to do with this publication is to feature the diversification of how the Marchador is used with real life examples. This Spring we are featuring Endurance Riding. Because of that focus, we also included an article by Dr. Deb Bennet on the Skeletal Maturation of Horses.
Five years ago in the USMMA Spring Journal, we featured an article on Brazilian champion endurance rider Pedro Werneck . He has been an endurance competitor for 25 years , is a member of the Brazilian PAN American team and races in Brazil and internationally. Wherever he competes the horse of this choice is the Mangalarga Marchador. This Spring, I thought it interesting to report closer to home and feature two U.S.M.M. A. endurance riders, Aline Oliveira Greene and Alessandra Deernick. Hope you enjoy hearing from them.
Please feel free to share with us stories of how you use your Marchadors by emailing me at:
SubmissionDeadlines:
SUMMER-June 30: Focus on Breeding and Stallions
FALL: September 30: Focus on Children and Jumping
and WINTER: December 31.
As we are just starting to roll out the USMMA Journal as a quarterly publication, we are seeking input as to what are readers want. Towards this end, we are asking the question:
DO YOU WANT TO HAVE PAID ADVERTISING IN THE JOURNALS.?
