Plantation Field International Honors Michael and DD Matz Press release Every year, the Planta- tion Field International Board recognizes “Unionville Eques- trian Legends” – outstanding members of the local equestrian community. This year, they recognized DD and Michael Matz, Coatesville, PA, at Brunch on Sunday, September 22 in the VIP tent overlooking the show jumping in the Main Arena. Notable in both the show jumping and racing industries, Michael and DD own Buck and Doe Farm and are parents to six children: Michelle, Michael Jr., Lucy, Alex, Robert, and Arthur Matz. Michael R. Matz is an American racehorse trainer and member of the 1976, 1992 and 1996 US Olympic show jump- ing teams. He was chosen to carry the United States flag into Centennial Olympic Stadium at the Closing Ceremonies of the 1996 Games, in recognition of the heroism he showed during the crash of United Flight 232, where he returned to the plane to rescue the four children seated beside him. He has also medaled at multiple World Champion- ships, World Cups, and Pan Am Games. Given his illustrious career as a rider, he was inducted into the Show Jumping Hall of Fame in 2006. As a racehorse trainer, he has secured two Triple Crown wins: the 2012 Belmont Stakes with Union Rags and the 2006 Kentucky Derby with Barbaro. DD Matz is also an ac- complished equestrian who made a name for herself in the Amateur Owner ring and won her first show jumping Grand Prix in Wellington in 1991. Her grandfather is the late Robert Kleberg, founder of the legendary King Ranch, which covers more than 825,000 acres. He produced 1946 Triple Crown winner Assault as well as Middleground, winner of the 1950 Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes. DD has devoted her professional life to breeding and racing thorough- breds. She has served as chair of the capital campaign of the Upland Country Day School in Unionville, on the board of trustees at Foxcroft School, as a trustee and officer of the U.S. Equestrian Team Foundation, and an officer and trustee of the Brandywine River Museum and Conservancy.
