Silva Returns to Competition!

For the first time since she was injured, Silva rode in a competition at ESDCTA Summer Days I and II in Gladstone, NJ. She and Benefactor RRS scored 67.381% to finish second in Second Level test 3 on Wednesday and on Thursday they scored 74.673% to win the class. Both of these tests were qualifiers for the GAIG finals, and looking ahead, Silva plans to compete "Benny" at the GAIG finals this fall.

We have just arrived at Millbrook Horse Trials, and it looks AWESOME this year. The conditions look perfect. The horses have all arrived well and are all in great form at the moment.  With the World Equestrian Games around the corner, my biggest goal is NOT to fall off!

I'm on the road and can't get my phone to upload to Youtube, but it worked on Facebook. Here's the link to a chat with Boyd today at Great Meadow, where he and Shamwari were the overnight leaders at the final prep for the WEG team and finished fourth after adding time penalties for a conservative cross-country round - which is just what he was aiming for as he and Shammie solidify their partnership and aim to have the most solid preparation possible in order to peak at the Games in Normandy.
