We finally arrived home at 4am this morning from an epic Bromont three-day event in Quebec, Canada. For me this is, alongside Fair Hill, the very best three-day event in North America. Bromont has it all: beautiful weather, a sensational venue and a serious, tough competition. In all my years of going to Bromont – I think it’s ten now – I’ve won the lower classes a few time, but I’d never managed to win the CCI4*-L, and that was a big goal of mine at the beginning of this year.

We’ve arrived safe and sound at one of my favorite events of the year, the Mars Bromont Three-Day Event in Quebec, Canada. This is always an epic event due to the fact it’s one of the toughest cross country challenges in North America, and this year is no exception. It looks like a real test for all levels and it should be an exciting competition.
This weekend I’m riding five top-class horses and they’re all in sizzling form:
CCI4*-L

June 5, 2019 by Leave a Comment
We spent a solid year getting to know the team at ACS Medivet, and we took the time to test the product on Lisa Thomas' 17 year old retired eventer, who now hunts and competes in hunter trials and local horse shows. He had known arthritis, so we decided Rhythm would be a good "acid test" to evaluate the results of this serum before contemplating using it with Boyd's upper level horses.
The results with Rhythm were extremely impressive - with notable improvement in his soundness, endurance Read more...Stony Brook Farm’s Contestor Tops 2019 Devon Arena Eventing!

What an evening at the 2019 Devon Arena Eventing, with a big win for Contestor and his breeders, Denise Lahey and Pierre Colin from Stony Brook Farm, in New Hampshire! Cortez's win in the 2019 Devon Arena Eventing class was so gratifying for Boyd, as these owners have been long time supporters and are truly dedicated to this horse's career.
We are also grateful that the Devon Horse Show continues to pull together the sponsorship support to host these sort of spectator friendly events. Read more...Fair Hill May Horse Trials

It looks like we have perfect conditions for this weekend's Fair Hill Horse Trials. This is one of Fair Hill's lower key events of the season, so the courses should be friendly. This will be the final run before Bromont Three-Day event for a couple of the horses, and for a few of the others this is a great chance to get some experience. Some of these horses are for sale, so it’s also important to establish their competition record so we can get them sold.
Unfortunately, I can’t make it to Read more...
Jersey Fresh International 2019
May 12, 2019 by Leave a Comment
It was a gorgeous spring day at the Horse Park of New Jersey, and Boyd was busy riding four horses in stadium jumping and three around cross country at the Jersey Fresh International Three-Day Event. There were a few ups and downs this weekend: one of the highlights was the relatively new horse, Luke 104 narrowly finishing second in the CCI3*-S after adding a couple seconds of time on cross country. Ray Price finished 5th in the CCI4*-S, while Barry was having a good round but ended up with a Technical Read more...Off to a Good Start at 2019 Jersey Fresh International

Today was the first day of dressage at the Jersey Fresh International Three-Day Event and all three horses entered in the ‘short’ format of the event did good dressage tests.
Barry: He was the first of my group to go. He had been working really well in the lead up to the test and I decided to really go for it in the test. Barry was super. Unfortunately in the trot half pass he misunderstood my aid and cantered. His medium trots were sensational. In the canter work, we unfortunately Read more...
