It was an absolutely fabulous weekend at Plantation Field International!  The entire community has been worked relentlessly to put together an event that showcased world class competition, a packed vendors village, tons of entertainment for the kids and nightlife that featured some hair raising bull riding!!  As always, Katie and Cuyler Walker did an amazing job promoting and hosting this event, opening up their home to the riders, owners and sponsors on Saturday night for a party that's one of the social highlights of the year!

Boyd had a full dance card this weekend, riding multiple horses across the national and international divisions.

National Divisions:
Brewster - 13th Prelim Horse
Quinn Himself - W from Prelim Horse

CIC Divisions:
The CIC divisions saw quite a bit of competition with a large number of entries.  Steady Eddie lived up to his name, putting in a solid performance in the CIC 1* to finish 9th on his dressage score of a 55.80.  New Cadet finished 12th and Party Boy was 18th.

Boyd had 2 more rides in the 2* division and was quite pleased with two horses in the victory gallop, with Cracker Jack's placing 6th on a 49.4 and Master Frisky coming in a close 8th on a 53.3.  Boyd commented that "The real thrill of the 2* division was to watch Caitlin Silliman look fantastic aboard Remi, as these two showed that they've already made a bond and have a great future together."  Many thanks go out to the Juvonen's, as well as Seema Sonnad for making this partnership possible!  Trading Aces, pictured at the top of this post, also had a stellar finish in the 3*, joining the victory gallop in 8th place!

This weekend wouldn't have been complete without Boyd's owners and sponsors attending as well.  Theault-America came down to our neck of the woods to show off the Morpheus Horse Box, and Devoucoux was on hand to showcase their beautiful line of saddles, bridles and leather works.
THE THEAULT MORPHEUS
Again, many thanks go out to the Walkers, the Glaccums, and all the tireless efforts of the Plantation Field organizers and volunteers.  It is an annual event that continues to grow and evolve each year, with this 5th year being the biggest success yet!
