Jane and Mak make a handsome pair on the cover of the Equine Journal this month - December 2007. The road to the Olympics is a tough one for any athlete. The combination of dedication, conditioning and the financial commitment to reach such a lofty goal is daunting. When you add horses to the mix, it also becomes a matter of luck: finding the right horse, staying healthy, and reaching peak performance as a team at the same time. Jane Hannigan of Harvard, Massachusetts, has the drive and determination, and in 2005 she found the horse: Maksymilian, a magnificent Dutch Warmblood by Elcaro. "He is amazing," she says with pride. But don't be fooled; this is not a dream that has happened overnight... Click here to check out the article. |
| ESDCTA – Memorial Weekend Dressage Show |

At the ESDCTA Memorial Weekend Dressage Show in New Jersey, Jane and Mak tried out their new freestyle - twice! On Saturday, they scored a 68%, finishing in second place, and on Sunday they scored 67% and took home the blue ribbon in the High Performance Grand Prix Freestyle class. Jane and Mak love their powerful, bold, new trot extension right out of the halt and their double pirouettes and tempi changes seem to go on forever. Their new music is a combination of Rob Dougan, Mozart, and Procession Of The Sardar by Ippolitov Ivanov. It seems Jane prefers the way her old canter music accented Mak's stride, Carmen: Habanera, by Bizet, so she is planning a return to Carmen for the CDI in Raleigh, North Carolina, but with her new choregography for the weekend of June 1st. |
