Margie Engle Showing at WEF?

Is Margie Engle not showing in WEF this year?

I have not heard that she retired, but she will be 65 this year. So it would not be surprising if she retired.

Goodness I saw the title and thought it was going to be about her passing as well!

My heart skipped a few beats as well. Thank goodness this wasn’t an obit.

I’m sorry! Not my intention. I see she’s listed as trainer for riders that I’m presuming are her students, but I always enjoy watching her ride.

What?!?! Margie Engle is 65!?!?! But… that would make me… oh crap. Sigh. Back to the ā€œTell me you’re oldā€ thread with the other fossils.

hush. I trained with her when i was a junior, before she was famous, her barn was right down the street from the hunter barn where i boarded at the time.

OP just a suggestion to edit the post title to ā€œMargie Engle and WECā€, maybe with a question mark … just to keep people from having their heart jump, as those single-name threads tend to mean, well, a very sad time.

Good question though and I’ve wondered what she’s been doing lately. :slight_smile:

My understanding is Margie had a bad fall end of ā€˜22 broke collarbone/ shoulder and needed surgery. She’s recovering though I’m sure not as quickly as she’d likešŸ˜‰ Helping students at WEF but not yet showing herself.

Thank you @MsFinch ! That clarifies things. :slight_smile:

Yes she had a bad fall in the schooling area during the MLSJ team comp here, just like MsFinch said. Glad to hear she’s at least back training already!

Margie is entered tonight on Dicas in the CSI5*

She had a few rails, but it was nice to see her back in the ring.
