August 26, 2019 by 1 Comment
After a rough weekend at Great Meadow, I am fired up to turn things around at The American Eventing Championships in Lexington, Kentucky. This should be one of the biggest and best events for the year. It’s always a thrill competing at the Kentucky Horse Park, and riders from around the country come to the AEC's to compete at every level of the sport.
Firstly, apologies to a few owners whom have not been correctly listed on the entry list with the horses. We are working hard to fix this.

This weekend we are shipping the horses down to The Plains, Virginia to take part in the MARS Great Meadow International. This should be a good competition that will be a step up in class for a number of these ‘up and coming’ horses.
Contaro: The first 2-star for Contaro. I am looking forward to riding this guy at a competition for the first time. He should be very competitive.
Maya: The first 3-star for for Maya. She will be green in the dressage, but should jump around well. Read more...Waredaca Horse Trials August 2019

This weekend is the Waredaca Horse Trials in Maryland. It’s a great event and close to home, so it's easy to put some valuable mileage on the horses. I plan to ride the Prelim horses on Saturday, whilst Mike is going to ride the two mares around their first Training Horse Trials. The horses all have been working very well in the lead up to this event.

Fair Hill August Horse Trials 2019
August 11, 2019 by Leave a Comment
We are all back at it today at Fair Hill Horse Trials. I have got Mighty Mike on the younger horses whilst I am going to spin the older horses around. A few of the older Advanced horses are just going to have a nice easy run around the Preliminary before I front them up at Great Meadow (Virginia) or Kentucky.
It should be a good show. Please follow the results on event entries.
Cheers
Boyd

I’ve just arrived back on the farm after flying home from Lima, and it’s a wonderful feeling of relief to have accomplished a major goal. Deep down, we all knew the Pan Am Games were a very important competition, not just for me as an individual but to qualify the team for Tokyo. I went armed with my top horse Thomas and after walking the cross country course last Thursday I was so relieved I had my experienced campaigner with me. Thomas gave his all in all three Read more...Double Gold at Pan Am Games
