It’s been two grueling days of dressage at the Jersey Fresh International Three-Day event. All of the horses put in very good tests: Luke and Ludwig were both awesome in the dressage. Monty, Prez and Donald were also very good on the flat. With these three younger horses, I didn’t quite nail the tests I hoped for and made a couple of frustrating mistakes. We are still in good placing with them, but all three of these horses are capable of dressage tests in the Read more...Boyd Martin: Jersey Fresh Dressage Recap

April 29, 2021 by
We had a great first show this year at Dunmovin Dressage! I am so proud of Pam Murphyfor winning her fourth level test and being high score for fourth level on her wonderful Rio Royal!
Christina Graham on her fabulous Laurencio also made me proud for riding a very nice PSG test and finishing in second place. On top of that she was FEI high point adult amateur.
My assistant rider Mia Mata Blake rode a very nice third level test on Sarah Reese's and my mare Hannah Lu W.
I feel so Read more...Boyd Martin and On Cue Claim 2021 USEF National CCI5*-L Championship
April 25, 2021 by
With just one of his four entries still in the running and the top placing in his sights,the pressure was on Boyd to pilot On Cue around clear today at the Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event. But a single time fault would knock them out of second place, so Boyd also had to go for the time. Taking the risk of the inside line to the triple combination brought a rail down and cost him a top-three placing, but Boyd and On Cue still finished fourth overall and claimed the USEF National Read more...On Cue Leads the U.S. Contingent at the 2021 #LRK3DE
April 24, 2021 by
Today was a seriously tough day of cross country that saw dreams dashed for numerous horse and rider combinations at the Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event, and Boyd was no exception. But there is still a bright light for Team Windurra: at the end of the day, On Cue rose above the rest to stand second overall, and in the top placing out of U.S. horses and riders in the CCI5*-L going into tomorrow's show jumping phase. Here is how cross country played out:

Ludwig started off Read more...Silva’s Friday Dressage Wrap Up from #LRK3DE2021
April 23, 2021 by
Silva finished up her Kentucky coaching gig by helping Boyd pilot both of his remaining CCI5*-L horses into the top ten at the 2021 Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event Presented by Mars Equestrian.
On Cue
On Cue is probably the greenest one out of the five-star horses because she hasn’t done any of the big competitions yet. I thought she was awesome, I’ve never seen her this good! She’s a very good mover, so that helps, and she was very focused and kept her cool. She only had a couple Read more...Silva Martin’s Thursday Dressage Recap from LRK3DE 2021
April 22, 2021 by
Silva is in Kentucky coaching Boyd and she checked in to give a recap of his two rides today at the 2021 Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event Presented by Mars Equestrian:
Luke 140
Boyd’s first ride today was Luke 140 in the CCI4*-S. First of all, the weather is very unlike April in Kentucky, it’s very cold, and for a fit horse that’s not ideal! All week Luke has looked fabulous, and he looked a million bucks in the warm-up, he’s a really quality horse. But once he was in the stadium, Read more...

April 9, 2021 by
The Pennsylvania spring is here and the conditions are absolutely perfect for eventing. This weekend we are competing the upper level horses at the Fair Hill Horse Trials in nearby Elkton, Maryland. It will be an unusual Fair Hill for our family, as it is very rare that both Silva and I are competing at the same event.
Silva has very kindly volunteered to ride my four Kentucky entries: Thomas, Cue, Ludwig and Luke, in the dressage at Fair Hill. Silva will compete the horses through the Read more...Boyd En Route to The Fork Three-Day Event at TIEC
April 2, 2021 by
I am currently en-route to the Tryon International Equestrian Center, armed up with four very fit, on form horses. At the moment, these are my top four advanced horses in work, and we are in the final stages of preparing them for the 2021 Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event. I have picked Tryon for their final event as it is perfect timing, being three weeks before Kentucky. On top of that, the dressage and show jumping at Tryon is top notch and will be held in stadiums that have plenty of atmosphere, Read more...Boyd Martin Eventing Videos: USEF High Performance Training Session in Ocala
February 4, 2021 by
Boyd spent the past several days in Ocala, Florida at a USEF Elite High Performance training session:
"I had a really productive four days training with the USEF High Performance coaches in Ocala, FL. I took four of the advanced horses: Thomas (Tsetserleg), Luke (Luke 140), Ludwig (Long Island T) and Cue (On Cue). Below are some videos of me jumping with Peter Wylde and doing some dressage with David O’Connor. I feel like I really benefited from the work we put in over the past couple of days. Read more...
