This hands on experience gives her an insider's eye for the horse's form, expression and movement.

Ben Starr Retires (partly):
Ben is a 17 year old, bay TB gelding. He was born in 1990 and raced in Tucson, AZ. He competed in dressage until he was 8 when Candy Wallace and Martha Lambert co-owned him and turned him into an event horse. He competed through the prelim level with Martha.

Rachel Zoller bought him in 2000 and competed training through advanced level. Rachel and Ben completed two CCI*'s - placing first and second - and one CIC**.

ben In 2006, Rachel was the 1st placed advanced young rider for Area VIIIl and placed 6th for all advanced riders in Area VIII. Ben placed 5th for advanced horses in Area VIII and Rachel placed 10th in the U.S. for advanced young riders. Rachel and Ben placed 21st in the advanced division of the Gold Cup Series.

They had hopes of competing in a CIC*** in 2007, but Ben pulled a suspensory tendon in May of 2007 which ended their career earlier than planned. A full recovery is expected and beginning in 2008, Janet Wygal Zoller, Rachel's mom, will continue on with Ben with plans to compete him at least through the training level.

In Memory of Monkey Business: Monkey passed away in 2007 at an unknown age but probably in his late twenties. He was 14.1, brown, exact breeding is unknown but possibly TB/Morgan/quarter horse gelding. The Zoller's bought Monkey from Jan Byyny in 1997, who had competed him through prelim. Rachel competed him beginner novice through training with great success. The Price's bought him in 1999 and Shawn competed him through training Monkey was novice horse of the year multiple times. Shawn's younger brother Sam competed him until he was retired at the Price's home. He was loved and adored by many and will always be remembered as the wonder pony!


Autobiography of the Month: Mackenzie Spaes & Never Ben Kissed

My name is Mackenzie Spaes. I bought Ben when I was in Florida in March. I tried out about 9 horses. I went with my instructor Carrie Barrick. We were debating whether or not to go look at Ben, because he was older then the other horses, but what a great decision to buy him.

mackenzie I have done many shows with Ben including: 1st at Flying Cross Mini Tria l- Beginner Novice, 9th at May-Daze Horse Trials - Beginner Novice, 3rd at Indiana Horse Trials - Beginner Novice, 9th Spring Run Horse Trials - Beginner Novice, 7th Midsouth Horse Trials - Beginner Novice, 4th Spring Run Mini Tria l- Novice, 6th South Farm Horse Trial -Novice.

I am now a C2 in Covered Bridge Pony Club. Ben helped me get my C2 rating. He is such a great Pony Club mount, and has taken me to my first C Rally and he was fabulous!
