Steffen Peters (USA) and Suppenkasper. Photo by Sarah Miller/MacMillan PhotographyWoodside, Calif. Akiko Yamazaki and Four Winds Farm have announced the retirement of Suppenkasper, a staple of the U.S. Dressage Team for the past six years. Ridden by six-time Olympian Steffen Peters, Suppenkasper represented the U.S. Dressage Team at two World Championships, two Olympics, an FEI Dressage World Cup Final, and numerous Nations Cup competitions.Suppenkasper, known adoringly in the barn as Mopsie, is one of the most successful horses in U.S. Dressage history, earning both Olympic and World Championship medals (Tryon 2018, Tokyo 2020), and made an appearance at the 2023 FEI Dressage World Cup Finals in Omaha, Neb., while earning the viral moniker of Rave Horse for his popular freestyle from the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, becoming a highlight for viewers tuning into the Games. In total, Suppenkasper competed in more than 80 international competitions with Peters in the irons and earned 59 victories in Grand Prix CDI competition throughout their career together.Today, I look out my window to catch Ravel and Mopsie basking in the sun, the large crowds and long airplane rides now a distant memory. As we mark 20 years together as a team, the time has come to end this amazing journey and it is with deep gratitude to Steffen, the horses and everyone that has been part of this journey that we now end this excellent adventure and long ride with this team, said Akiko Yamazaki. With Steffen as our rider, and with a number of horses, including Lombardi, Ravel, Legolas, Rosamunde, and Suppenkasper, our team has traveled around the world and had the honor of representing the USA in multiple international championships and events.Through their partnership with Peters, Yamazaki and Four Wind Farms have represented the U.S. on the world stage for more than 20 years, including at five Olympic Games (2008, 2012, 2016, 2020, 2024), four FEI World Championships (2010, 2014, 2018, 2022), a Pan American Games (2019), and five FEI Dressage World Cup Finals, including a historic win aboard Ravel in 2009 in Las Vegas, N.V., while continuing to represent the United States at prestigious Nations Cup events, like CHIO Aachen and CHIO Rotterdam.What a true honor it has been to be a part of Mopsies career and life. Its hard to explain how much appreciation I have for Akiko for purchasing him eight years ago and then supporting us to compete around the world together. The historic silver medal in Tokyo was, of course, the highlight of our career together, said Peters. For me, it will always be one of the proudest moments of our partnership to have Mopsie deliver for our team that night in Tokyo. The individual victories were amazing, but I always felt the proudest delivering for our team, and it meant the world when we accomplished that in Tokyo. Mopsie became the Rave Horse, thats still special to me because he connected so many people. They recognize him and his accomplishments, and theres really no reason to mention my name, but its Mopsies character and energy which made people gravitate to him. The journey weve shared together is quite hard to put into words, but thoughts of gratitude, thankfulness, and friendship come to mind, both for Mopsie and Akiko, and Im so privileged to have been a part of this journey with them.We have been fortunate to be part of so many teams with great riders, horses and owners over the years, and as anyone knows, there are countless hours of work and multiple shows to get to these culminating events and it truly takes a village to make things happen. We have had the amazing support of USEF staff, including Gil Merrick, Jim Wolf, Jenny van Wieren, Will Connell, Hallye Griffin, and Laura Roberts and knowledgeable Chef dEquipes Klaus Balkenhol, Anne Gribbons, Robert Dover, Debbie McDonald, and Christine Traurig throughout the years, as well as the tremendous commitment of the teams veterinarians Dr. Rick Mitchell, Dr. Cricket Rusillo, Dr. Paul McClellan, and Dr. Laura Faulkner and talented staff support, added Yamazaki. Weve been lucky to have so many successful horses come through the U.S. Dressage Program, and we feel indebted with the deepest gratitude to the USET Foundation, led by Bonnie Jenkins, the competition organizers, and all the excellent service providers, including Dutta Corp, Klatte, JetPets, and Rockridge, among others, who have overseen the care and transportation of Mopsie and our other horses throughout their careers.Four Winds Farm and Yamazakis support of U.S. Dressage has produced tremendous international success over the years, with the highlight of the team silver medal from the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, in which Suppenkasper and Peters played a significant role in helping to secure. Suppenkasper will now spend his days at Four Winds Farm in Woodside, California.Mopsies career would not have been possible without the support and dedication of our home team, which includes Dr. Rodrigo Vazquez and physiotherapist Tom Meyers who both have been on this journey with us as a team for more than 20 years; Suppenkaspers groom Eddie Garcia, and our other staff and supports Rafael Hernandez, Dawn White OConnor and Haley Smith; our farriers Jim Carr, Stephan Tournier, Chuck Mundo; and the many staff at Arroyo Del Mar who have been a part of taking care of our horses, as well as my incredible staff at Four Winds Farm, Merced Huerta, Humberto Bejinez, Bryant Cruz and Artemio Cruz who look after and love our horses once theyre retired at the farm, as well as Alyson Hamilton, Greg Hardester, and CFM for all of their behind the scenes work. Alongside Steffen and myself, Shannon, Jerry, Miki, and Emi have traveled the world together and shared the deep emotions that come with the highs and lows of being part of something so extraordinary, concluded Yamazaki.US Equestrian wishes Mopsie the best in his well-deserved retirement!

Tommy Greengard and Thats Me Z. Photo by Sherry Stewart.The United States Eventing Association (USEA) is pleased to announce that Thats Me Z, owned by Tommy Greengard and Andrea M. Pfeiffer, is the likely recipient of the 2024 Holekamp/Turner Grant and The Dutta Corp. prize. Thats Me Z (Take A Chance On Me Z x Venetia) is a 7-year-old Zangersheide gelding ridden by Greengard and was bred by Simons Roeland. The pair aims to represent the U.S. at the 2024 FEI Eventing World Breeding Championships for Young Horses in the 7-year-old CCIYH3*-L championship. The championship will take place at La Mondial du Lion in Le Lion dAngers, France, from Oct. 17-20.The intention of the Holekamp/Turner Grant is to further develop an upward pathway for U.S. team horses in the sport of eventing. The grant recipients who are North American-bred are awarded the full cash grant of $17,500. If the winner is an imported horse, he/she will be awarded $8,000. Since Thats Me Z was imported, his team will be awarded $8,000 USD. The team will also receive The Dutta Corp. prize which is one round-trip flight to Europe. The grant will be officially awarded after Thats Me Z passes the first horse inspection at the championship in France.Andrea and I fell in love with Z after seeing a Facebook photo Matt Flynn posted over two years ago, said Greengard. Since then, weve shared a fantastic journey together, owning several horses. We playfully set our sights on Lion when Z was the highest-placed young horse from both coasts, and he has continued to exceed our expectations. Andrea has been an incredibly supportive coach and owner, encouraging us to go early for much-needed European experience before aiming for the CCI3*-L at Lion. We would not be here without her.Z has had the opportunity to compete at some bigger-atmosphere competitions leading up to where he is today including the USEA American Eventing Championships presented by Nutrena Feeds (Lexington, Kentucky), as well as the Eventing Championships at Galway Downs (Temecula, California), and the Wellington International (England). In an attempt to best help prepare Z for the experience at Le Lion, the pair packed up at the end of July and made their way overseas where they are currently based with New Zealand Olympian Jonelle Price. They recently competed in the CCI3*-S at Cornbury House (England).He has grown a lot from his experiences here in England, noted Greengard. As he matures, Z has become quite comfortable in the larger venues and high-pressure situations. This year, as a 7-year-old, has been significant for his growth. Its a crucial learning year for him, marking a step up from the Preliminary level, but he has developed noticeably in his mind and strength. His natural understanding and aptitude for the job continue to impress us. We look forward to seeing him come out of his shell even more this fall.Greengard describes Z as a quirky, sensitive type, but in the past two years his confidence has grown exponentially, and so has their relationship together.Watching Z embrace this role and develop a love for the sport has been a joy, he shared. Our goal is always to bring horses to the top levels of competition and major championship events. This feels like a natural progression for both mine and Zs career, and I look forward to gaining more exposure and experience. Ultimately, thats what its all about. I hope to do him justice because he is truly a special horse, and his time will surely come.The horse that has the highest score from the 2022 USEA Young Event Horse (YEH) 5-year-old Championships that is also qualified to compete in the 7-year-old championship and is able to travel, receives the Holekamp/Turner Grant. Last year was the first year in the history of the grant that the overall champion from the YEH Championships was the recipient of the grant, and that tradition will continue with Thats Me Z. The Zangersheide gelding won the Dutta Corp. USEA YEH West Coast Championships on an impressive score of 85.3, topping all scores from both the East and West Coast Championships.If the highest-scoring YEH horse from the 2022 YEH Championships does not qualify or is unable to attend, the grant is then awarded to the next highest scorer who is qualified and able to go. The 2022 Reserve Champion Top Carrera, a 7-year-old Hanoverian gelding owned by Roland Millican and Gabby Dickerson and ridden by Dickerson, have expressed an interest in competing and representing the U.S. if they were to receive the grant funding.
