It Begins It Ends It Ends It Begins
It Begins, It Ends, It Ends, It Begins is a collection of sketches describing some of the author, Judy Richter’s, memories of life on and off her one-hundred-acre farm in Bedford, New York. Coker Farm is home to Richter’s avocation, as well as her vocation. For over forty-five years Richter has been in the horse business, training young riders and horses for show competition. The farm is a “still point in a turning world” for her family and friends. Though many now are grown and gone, they keep in touch on the Internet and Facebook! Having been actively involved in the sport for nearly half a century, Richter has seen many changes, but she feels “the more things change, the more they remain the same,” thanks to the abiding generosity of the horses. To spend her life in the company of these noble creatures is indeed a blessing.
Some Favorite Days
Some Favorite Days: A Collection of Essays describes some of author Judy Richter's favorite memories, many of which transpired on her 100-acre farm in Bedford, New York. Even though it is just thirty-five miles north of Times Square, Coker Farm-home to Richter's avocation as well as her vocation-is in every other respect, worlds away. For more than forty years, Richter has been in the horse business, training young riders and horses for show competition. During her childhood, Richter rode horses on her parent's farm in New Jersey, and she feels fortunate that her career celebrates her passion. Some of her best days off the farm have been at horse shows up and down the East coast, at her even more rural farm in East Barnard, Vermont, and in New York City itself. Encouraged by family, friends, and fellow writers to write about her life on and off the farm, Richter has found writing to be therapeutic. Some Favorite Days features some of this lifelong horse lover's favorite equines and some of her favorite equestrians. Now, more than ever, Richter appreciates just how lucky she is to enjoy such a blessed life.

The Kitten’S Cooler
Back in the day, my sisters name, Carol Hofmann Thompson, was a household word in the horse show world here and abroad. I have been blessed with many good memories of her and others who have brightened my life. To call this collection a memoir feels a bit too formal and pretentious, so I prefer to say these are a gathering of good old memories of people and events in my life from the fifties to the present day. There was no better decade than the 1950s to grow up in. The war was over, we won, and Eisenhower was our president. No more noble and able a man existed, except possibly Churchill, but he was British and, even then, old. It was a safe world; we never went to bed wondering if wed wake up to World War III. Our parents never worried about where we were, if they even wondered. They knew wed be home at dark for dinner. How different from today! What is most heartening about recollecting these stories, old and new, is that life does indeed go on, and for us horse people, it is the horses who carry us forward.
Riding for Kids
When Olympic Gold Medalist William Steinkraus wanted his sons to learn to ride, he took them to Judy Richter.

Her gems include insight on how to honor your roots (your first experiences with your garden); pause before you enter your garden and take a moment to recognize its beauty through the different seasons; start over again and see how your garden and your story evolve; follow the seven principles of xeric gardening to garden with intention and respect; and partner with local pollinators to protect the health of your plants.

But then, in April 1982, as Chairman of Scudders Investment Policy Committee, he predicted the end of the a bear market, a twelve year period when the market had been under water. To the complete surprise of almost all, 1982 was the start of the greatest bull market of all time. His story is a journey from One Wall Street, to California, to Japan, and back to Park Avenue and with some interesting places in between. His transfer to California in 1962 at age 35 was a turning point in his personal development as well as his career. There was more than on future path along the way. His life could have turned out differently, but it didnt. His good show hunter, Indiana Jones, is twenty five years old and is retired in Florida. Since Indy doesnt want to show any more, neither does Theurkauf and he is also retired from showing. Theurkauf and his wife live in a small town fifty miles north of New York City.
