22 FA L L 2 014 U N TAC K E D Aroundthe Arena t i d b i t s f r o m a c r o s s t h e i n d u s t r y ➜ Breeches: I'd have to say the Mark Todd Auckland breeches with the pleated front. I've been wearing them for the past three or four years now, and I love the fit. I think they're a great value, because with as many horses as I ride in a day, if they rip, I'm not choked up like when it's the $400 Pikeurs! ➜ Footwear: Vogel custom dressage boots that I'm absolutely in love with. ➜ Comfort food or drink: A good red wine. ➜ Guilty pleasure: Watching Mad Men on Netflix. ➜ App: Shazam. I'm a huge music junkie, so whenever I hear a song I like, I need to have it. ➜ Band: At the moment, The Airborne Toxic Event. ➜ Vacation destination: Banff National Park in Alberta. I love going to the mountains and being in the woods, and it's just a gorgeous park. ➜ City: New York City. I really like traveling up there. e food, the art—I think they have the best of everything. ➜ Place to shop: Gilt. It's online, and they have anything you need at a discount—higher-end things for cheaper prices. ➜ Non-horsey hobby: I go to concerts and kind of follow different bands, but other than that, my life ends up revolving around the horses. ➜ Memory in the saddle: I'd have to say this weekend, medaling in both [dressage and eventing at NAJYRC]! ➜ Competition venue : Campbell Valley Horse Park in Langley, British Columbia. ey have awesome trails to take the horses out on through all the forests. ➜ Type of horse: I definitely like hotter horses. I just think I get along with them well. I like to ride quietly, so it matches my style. My Faves: David Ziegler Medaling at the North American Junior and Young Rider Championships is a feat, but medaling in two different disciplines is a record. David Ziegler of Beiseker, Alberta, set that standard at the Adequan/ FEI NAJYRC in Lexington, Ky., this July, riding Peninsula Topman to young rider individual silver in dressage and Critical Decision to individual gold in eventing. e 21-year-old currently resides in Unionville, Pa. and Reddick, Fla., where he's a working student for four-star eventer Missy Ransehousen and trains in dressage with Missy's mother Jessica. Ziegler's current dressage freestyle showcases songs from "e Sound of Music," so it was easy for him to rattle off a few of his favorite things: TAYLOR JOYCE PHOTO
