Ingeborg Gautier Rhodin

sister of Axel Gautier

(pronounced Brazilyak)

I remember her well. Being honest, I usually could skip dressage acts, but never hers of those of the Herriott family.

I was on a spot in the "Old Garden"

mid 60s & recall 3 ladies in white

on white horses 1 in each ring with

Ingeborg & Ada Smeija as 2 of them

Maybe Rusty Parent in the other

Roger Smith said...

As for dressage, I sincerely regret not having seen Captain Heyer and Starless Night.

Roger Smith said...

PS: A Sarasota insider--guess who that is--tells me Rusty Parent is with us to this day, at 90+, and refusing interviews.

Rusty had a trailer park on Lockwood Ridge Road

not very far from Ludwig Maschino's trailer park

The park is still there but under another name

I'll ask the "guess who" about her

I've seen some incredible dressage riders over

the years including Tony Smaha Sr John Herriott

Trevor Bale & Arthur Godfrey of all people but

Heyer was before my time
