Aachie Steiner

Horsesdaily's Canine Corner was inspired by the friendship of Winnie and one of her very good friends Aachie, Betsy Steiner's West Highland Terrier. Both friends come from a long line of Dressage canines; Aachie, named for Aachen, the number one dressage show in the world, was is the royal cousin of Ruth Klimke's (GER) dog through her father, the highly recognized show dog, Asterix. She was born March 25, 1990, and has the same sign as Elizabeth Taylor.

Winnie is the great-granddaughter of one of Kay Meredith's corgis, granddaughter of Dennis Callin's Chloe, and daughter of Lisa Goldman's well known Bandit.

The two have known each other since they were pups, and bonded over the years. They recently had a lovely visit in May when Mary and JJ worked with Betsy on her book project. As they were packing their camper after a three-day photo shoot, Winnie was overheard barking "e-mail me!" to Aachie. Driving off with Betsy in her BMW to go ride Rainier, Steiner's newest grand prix mount, Aachie gazed out the window until Winnie was out of site.

It turns out, that when Mary and JJ were sleeping, Winnie was sneaking onto the computer and having all night chats with her good friend. We snooped a bit and found a delightful correspondence going on, and asked them if it was all right to share it with our visitors. We have edited some of the content in respect for their privacy, but for the most part, this is exactly what we found….
