We are on our way to The Fork Horse Trials at TIEC in Tryon, North Carolina. I am looking forward to experiencing the warmer weather again. Obviously, this is a magnificent facility that was the venue for last year's World Equestrian Games, and the facilities and courses (built by ETB Equine Construction) are top-notch. I have heard that the course will be similar to the WEG course last year: it will be technical but not overly big, and it should be a good track.
I have decided on Read more...Assistant Groom Needed

I'm slowly building up the upper-level horses for their spring goals: some of the horses are heading to Kentucky, Jersey Fresh and on to Bromont, and we used Red Hills in Tallahassee, Florida as one of their preparation events to get them humming along.
KYRA - 1st, ADVANCED

March 4, 2019 by Leave a Comment
We had a great day with the young horses at the Sporting Days Farm March Horse Trials. It's a great local event with a nice, friendly course to introduce the horses to the next level. They all jumped clear and had good rounds, and finished with good results. All four horses were finished with all three phases by early afternoon, and after a rainy start to the weekend it was a pleasure to have sun shining. Silva and I took the kids to the zoo for the afternoon to enjoy some family time after a busy Read more...Kyra Finishes 4th in Eventing Grand Prix Showcase
