My good mate Shamwari is feeling better and better since he was injured at the Luhmuehlen CCI4* in Germany in June, when his hind tendon slipped off his hock just meters before the finish of of the 4-Star cross country course.
For the first three months after Luhmuehlen he was pretty sore, so we had him on stall rest and we were hand grazing him a couple of times a day. After he got more comfortable we put him out in a round pen for a few hours a day, so he could enjoy some sunlight and controlled Read more...November 2018 Shamwari Update

It’s a huge weekend for the top level eventing horses in North America this weekend. The Fair Hill International CCI3* is by far the toughest three-star in the country and both Ray and Ludwig are in tremendous form. This will be a great event to develop both horses to the 4-star level. I've also got On Cue running in the CCI2*.
The trot up is tomorrow.

We will be competing at Morven Park in Virginia this weekend, and I'm looking forward to seeing the improvements they have made to the property since I was last there. This is the USEA Area II Championship weekend and there should be more than 400 entries, so it's going to be a hustling and bustling venue for the group of young horses that I'm taking out to deal with.
Barry will be doing his last Open Intermediate run before the Virginia CCI2* and should be very competitive this weekend.
