Heels Down Mag: Picking Up The Pieces - Chloe Reid On Losing Codarco

By Justine Griffin for Heels Down Mag 

When the Irish Sport Horse stallion came into Chloe Reid’s life, she was already an accomplished young rider. She’d aged out of her junior career with plenty of medals to her name and was training with high-profile coaches from around the world. Chloe purchased Codarco just as she was beginning to rise the ranks on the global show jumping stage.

But there was something about the stocky bay stallion that captured the 22-year-old rider’s heart. She’d loved horses all her life, but this one was special. Maybe it was his quirky, opinionated personality. Or maybe it was his unreal athleticism, and his ability to jump “out of his skin” for her, nearly every round.

“I owe my entire career to that horse,�� said Chloe, eight months after his tragic and unexpected passing. “He put my name on the map, so to speak.”

Grief manifests itself in different ways. Be it anger or anguish, or a feeling one can’t quite describe, there is no “normal” way to grieve the loss of a horse. Nor is there an easy path ahead to begin the healing process.

Heels Down Mag is exploring personal stories of grief after the loss of an equine partner. What makes our sport truly unique is the bond we develop with our animal, no matter the discipline in which we train. While one written story may not bring back what’s been lost, we hope these memories help soothe the pain. This is the second story in an ongoing series.

***

On a terrible day in February, Chloe received the kind of news every horse owner dreads. “Cody” had started showing signs of mild pain in his abdomen a few days before. A team of veterinarians in Wellington would find out that the stallion had developed cancer in his stomach.

Cody was 11 and in his prime, in all other aspects. Chloe and her team were flabbergasted by the devastating news.

“I find relief in knowing his suffering was short,” Chloe said at the time. “There was nothing anyone could have done to foresee or help him.”

Aboard Cody, Chloe was second in the $150,000 Nations Cup CSIO 4* at the Winter Equestrian Festival in 2017. The pair took home third at the Longines Falsterbo Grand Prix the same year. Into early 2018, the team had several top five finishes for the U.S., and represented the their country internationally at some of the biggest show jumping competitions in the world.

In many ways, their career together had only just begun.

Choe and her fleet of horses, including Cody, were splitting their time training and competing in Europe and in Florida under the tutelage of her coach, Markus Beerbaum. Meanwhile Chloe was juggling her sophomore year at the University of Miami. But her riding goals remained ever-present.

In a passionate remembrance on Instagram just after his death, Chloe described her first memories of her former partner:

“The day I first sat on you was the worst trial I have ever had,” she put it bluntly. “I was so incredibly nervous and intimidated by your power that I couldn’t find a distance. I will never forget how we trotted into the combination and crashed out through the oxer, yet you continued to keep jumping and safely carry me around.”

“While I’ve had numerous riders tell me over the years that they tried and passed on the opportunity to purchase you, I will feel forever fortunate that you chose me to be your rider,” she continued. “Even though you could have had way more success with any of the more experienced riders, I was the lucky one who got to take you home. Thank you for being my partner of a lifetime.”

***

In the immediate aftermath of her partner’s death, the grief was all consuming. Chloe remembers her trainer Markus, and her longtime groom, Sigrun Land, spending the entire day with her.

“The day I found out, Markus came to my house with snacks and a bunch of trash magazines and sat with me all day,” she described. “The whole team was so supportive. That really meant a lot to me.”

Chloe went on to describe how Cody didn’t just touch her life, but he had a special bond with her groom, too.

“If any of you have come into contact with Sigrun and Cody over the past few years, then you know she would have fought you to the ground in protecting that horse,” Chloe said. “Cody was as much my love as he was Sigrun’s and Markus’.”

Eight months later, Chloe was gearing up to compete again with her six horses over in Germany. After the WEF season, Chloe poured herself into her schoolwork. That gave her some breathing room to deal with the grief of losing Cody, she said.

Now that she’s in college, Chloe is starting to put the pieces together of what she wants her life to look like after she graduates. She plans to spend a full year just riding and competing.

“I want to spend the year in Europe. I’ve only done about eight months at a time and I’ve never stayed through the winter,” she explained. “I’ve also never fully committed to the horses. I’ve always juggled school or something else on the side. I want to give it a full year to see how I handle that.”

But wherever she goes next, Chloe says she’ll always be taking a piece of Cody with her, both in memory and spirit.

“He taught me so much. He was a stallion and had a lot of personality. A big crowd would get him excited, but it was a good thing. He rode better that way,” she recalled. “I see a little of him in my new horse, Luis P. You never know how a horse is going to handle the atmosphere of a big show. He responds similar to Cody – he gets excited.”

“It can be used to your advantage,” Chloe continued. “Cody taught me that horses with that kind of personality isn’t a bad thing.”

It’s ridiculous how the head of security at the Falsterbo Horse Show felt the need to impersonate an SVT television employee to try and get reporters to stop filming the warmup on the grounds of copyright violation. Oh and also the fact that he lied to the police about it on the phone when the reporters figured out that he was full of bullshit and refused to leave.

The Annual Horsblr Drama Recap: 2016 edition

January: “Unbranded”: promoting the mustang? or just a group of stupid thrill seeking college kids knowingly putting their horses lives in danger? “Take your rich bitch money and fat mouth elsewhere”:  The “If you say everyone needs a trainer, you're elitist” mantra.  The State of America: Judge Qualifications.  Horse Slaughter: livestock animal, best friend, or both? ALERT: Police on high alert after the word “piaffe” was mentioned by an unqualified individual. Those unintentional suicide jokes.  What brand is your bridle? Our experts weigh in on what your bridle says about your financial status.  LDR vs Rolkur, AGAIN... The Facts: Is there a correlation between liking a certain breed and preferring a certain style of horse management? 

February:  Conspiracy: Theveganmothership and Banallequinesports are the same person.  NEWSFLASH: putting stallions in the same area so they can sort out their hierarchy under the careful eyes of their owners is abusive and disgusting.  “jfc Janet BAIL is what you have when you are in jail and BALE is what hay is in.  Learn to fckn spell”  Halters: Nylon vs. Leather?  Safety vs. Aesthetics?  Helmet Girl strikes again!  Weighted tails, weighted bits, and other training nonsense.     

March:  Real Talk: is it Horseblr or Horsblr? Arthur’s absolutely appalling joke of a browband.  Some interesting A circuit hunters drama that had something to do with burn marks??  Do we or do we not want barrel racers to wear helmets with cowboy hat attachments: safety vs aesthetics part 2.  “My daddy bought me an import and I only see it once a month”.  The bald face debate. Salt against saddleseat. Dogblr vs Horsblr: Cesar Milan edition.  The Pénélope Leprevost incident. 

April:  Can horses be assholes on purpose?  Barrel Racing and Dressage:  Are the two disciplines on equal grounds?  Bits in the Hunter Ring: What the riders don't want you to see.  BREAKING NEWS: Witnesses say a photo of an average quarter horse preforming  piaffe circulated created uproar among dressage enthusiasts convinced that only warmbloods are capable of such movements. Australia’s ridiculous National Security laws and what they have to do with not vaccinating your horse.  Animal welfare concerns: clipping horses for the winter.  NEW INFO: Lainey Ashker killed her horses!

May:  Famous self proclaimed horseman Clinton Anderson flips a horse over: Was it preventable?  TONIGHT ON 7 NEWS: Horsblr’s collective obsession with the piaffe.  Vague blogging at its finest.  You can't take your horse out on hacks unless you have exposed them to every single possible flight response trigger, otherwise, you suck.  Double twisted wire bits on Hunter ponies: Hot or not?  If you use two saddle pads, you are the DEVIL.  The saga continues: Tear Lainey’s dressage skills apart but Edward Gal is untouchable.

June:  Mares vs. Geldings.  Proper ‘Eq’: What happened to shoulder hip heel? Dogblr weighs in: Adopting vs. Buying. 

July:  Exposing your young horse to show jumping: ABUSE.  Page 45, section 4, subsection 5, paragraph 2 of Hunter barn ‘eq’tiquette dictates that you can’t drink water during lessons... (its a sign of weakness)  Also, page 27, section 2 says that praising your horse before leaving the ring is frowned upon and points may be deducted. Falsterbo Horse Show footage.  Clinton Anderson’s “death to tree huggers” video controversy.  

August: CWD Female Saddle: Sexist? or does since and physiology back their products up?  Stronger bits for stronger horses: an indicator for lack or training.  RIO 2016 ~ super cresty lusitanos, Adeline Cornellisen scratches mid test (what a hero) Country of Origin Bias: Kittel vs Ward.  Vulture squad vs. Bench bitches??? 

September:  Spanking your horse: acceptable or barbaric?  Negative Reinforcement: a  non-aversive, magical method of communication between you an your horse <3.  Our readers weigh in on how your sex life may correlate with how you handle horsblr discourse. 

October:  “People who can't afford to take quality care of their pets have every right to continue to own their animals”.  Polo wraps are always a valid reason to start drama.

November:  Donald Trump is elected...  On barn dogs and which ones to shoot.  WHAT KIND OF SQUASH IS THAT?!  Poor horse folk outraged and left feeling bitter after Cylana sold to young rider for 3 million USD.  Attention: There is only one true way to lunge your horse, only one, thats it.  The chaff discourse. 

December: Barrel racing Instagram equestrians and futurity shit.  “Kicking Your Horse in the Chest for Refusing to Jump and other Tantrums”.  Personal opinion posts taken way too far.  Pro-anas infiltrate horseblr.  Hoof Crack Treatment Discourse.  Gettin Salty: Dutch Harness Horses.  Biting and Aggression: Best Plan of Action? “Wow I cant believe ur horse is on bute when u haven't been given it by a vet even tho if i had checked your blog for literally 5 seconds i would have seen i was literally wrong!”

Life Lately - FHS

Livet på näset rullar på. Gårdagen spenderades på stranden och vid poolen- underbart!! På kvällen kilade jag över till några vänner och grillade i kvällssolen men valde att sätta punkt när det var dags för de andra att kila vidare til Strandbaden. Det kan vara superkul (ish) att vara där ibland men börjar kännas väldigt gjort för min del. Mysigast är mingel/hemmafest. 

Idag var jag på Falsterbo Horse Show med M. Trots rejäla skurar stundtals var det superhärligt att vara där! Längtar redan till nästa år hehe, då ska jag gå flera dagar! Rolf Göran Bengtsson vann sista Gran Prix hoppningen, YAS!

Håll tummarna för Sparven på Falsterbo Horse Show

För två år sedan åkte Sanna Nilsson för att titta på ett holländsk hoppsto. När Sanna kom fram till stallet blev hon chockad av den magra hästen som möte henne i stallet. Hon visste inte om stoet skulle överleva ännu en dag, men Sanna bestämde sig för att köpa hästen ändå eftersom hon inte vill att det ska lida mer. Sanna gav stoet ett kärleksfullt hem och nu två år senare tävlar hon i Scandinavian Open för 5-åriga hästar i Falsterbo. Håll tummarna :) Sparven är värd att vinna hela tävlingen tycker jag<3
