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 wasnāt an obit.
Iām sorry! Not my intention. I see sheās listed as trainer for riders that Iām 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 āTell me youāre 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 āMargie 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 Iāve wondered what sheās been doing lately.
Done!
My understanding is Margie had a bad fall end of ā22 broke collarbone/ shoulder and needed surgery. Sheās recovering though Iām sure not as quickly as sheād likeš Helping students at WEF but not yet showing herself.
Yes she had a bad fall in the schooling area during the MLSJ team comp here, just like MsFinch said. Glad to hear sheās 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.
