Sales Horse Spotlight on Espri Fidele!
August 15, 2018 by Leave a Comment
Espri Fidele (Embassy III X Gajus) was imported from Germany in 2016 as a six year old and has been in professional training ever since. His bloodlines include Escudo I, Espri, and Calypso II.
He is a super careful show jumper with perfect technique over fences and can score in the 20s in dressage. Upon his move up to training level this past season in Aiken (with Mike Pendleton in the irons) he placed 2nd at Pine Top and has had multiple other top results. He just moved up to Prelim in August of 2018. Read more...

We had record rainfall here at Millbrook Horse Trials this afternoon, and things are looking pretty wet and muddy. It's a very pretty cross country course and Mike and I are looking forward to giving the horses a run around tomorrow as long as the footing holds up - hopefully the rain is finished for the night. In all likelihood we will run them all but take things slowly.
It was a successful couple of days of dressage to get the event started, with Long Island T holding on to the lead in Read more...
Baby Leo is One Week Old Today
July 29, 2018 by 1 Comment
Leo was born a week ago today and is doing well. It's been a rough week with ups and downs but the past few days have been good. He's still under the billirubin lights, which are to prevent jaundice, though his counts are much better. He's also still on a breathing tube, which is unfortunate because he really doesn't like it. He already had a blood transfusion and an IVIG transfusion, (which is what I've been getting throughout the pregnancy). They don't expect him to have any long term problems Read more...
Jumping the Big Jumps at the Kentucky Summer Classic
July 29, 2018 by Leave a Comment
With a hectic week, I managed to sneak off to Kentucky with Ray, Ludwig, Thomas and Eddie to the Kentucky Summer Classic Jumping Show at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington. It was great jumping under pressure around the 1.20m and 1.30m, against the straight jumpers. All the boys jumped well and are improving as we gear up towards the second half of the year.

Boyd rode several horses at The Maryland Horse Trials this weekend, giving a few of the upper level horses, including his Land Rover U.S. Eventing Team horse for the World Equestrian Games in Tryon, Christine Turner's Tsetserleg, an easy run around the CIC2*. Several teammates also gave their horses a canter around this weekend including Lauren Kieffer with Vermiculus, Lynn Symansky with Donner and Marilyn Little with RF Scandalous.

First and foremost I would like to say how proud and honored I am to have been selected to represent the USA at this year’s World Equestrian Games with Christine Turner's Tsetserleg. In my eight years representing the USA, this was by far the hardest team to get on. Compared to other countries America has a lot of depth, and we have a strong contingent waiting to step up if a team horse is sidelined. In my opinion the selectors had a tough job this year choosing from such a vast pool of talent.
