Eventers Invade Aiken


The Crew

The Windurra team of event horses have officially all arrived at Ilene Boorman's magnificent equestrian heaven, Bridle Creek Farm in Aiken, SC. 2013 looks to be a very exciting year with a stronger quality of event horses in training than ever before, partnered up with a very enthusiastic, hard working crew to look after them.

Bridle Creek Farm is an awesome facility within the Bridle Creek development that has all of the bells and whistles needed to train horses including a massive jumping ring, an Eric Bull designed cross-country course, a dressage ring with mirrors, and superb turnout. The other remarkable thing about the layout of the property is that it is situated in the midst of 2000 acres of open country. At this time of the year, getting the horses fit is a priority and there are endless amounts of trails with great footing throughout Bridle Creek to get them fit on.

Our neighbors, however, are questionable... with Phillip Dutton, Ryan Wood, Kevin Keane, Jessica Hampf and Doug Payne all within a stone's throw of the property, it makes it very hard to stay focused on riding, especially with the smell of BBQ cooking up most nights.
