Caitlin Silliman
Caitlin is Windurra's longest serving soldier, working with Silva and I for nearly three years. Caitlin did her first couple of years learning the art of dressage with Silva, and then switched over to the event barn mid-2010 to work with the event horses.
Caitlin's official role is assistant rider/super groom/organizer and happy smiley face around the barn. She was Remington's groom for the two-week French Four-Star tour to Pau last year. I am lucky to have a girl that is super organized, very hard working and a top rider all in one. Not only does she take a key position in the barn, she is currently starring as girlfriend of Australian Love God Ryan Wood.
Caitlin has two horses in Aiken this year: Hoku, an intermediate mare that is aiming for a two-star in the Spring, and Ben, a young horse that looks very promising and should be competing at training level in a couple of starts. We have very high expectations for both of these horses this year and are excited about their future.I want to wish Caitlin all the best with her horses and thank her for her hard work in Aiken this year, and I truly hope that "training with us for a year before college" lasts longer and longer.

Boyd, you and Silva are truly lucky to have Caitlin! She is so positive and did a fantastic job with my horse, Waimea, when she rode her in Florida a few years back. All my best to all of you and best of luck to Caitlin completing this year!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more! Not only is Caitlin dedicated, positive, talented and adorable....she's also a great rider!! I think we should set up a college endowment fund so they can keep her & help her get her degree :) LT
