It was also great to see syndicate members Densey Juvonen and Fernanda Kellogg out there having a good time. Both Densey and Fernanda are enjoying a busy winter hunting, eventing and following their own event horses down here in Aiken.

This
is Neville’s year to get back to Rolex. And maybe Trading Aces first
4*. We’re (all ten of their owners) keeping fingers crossed. Neville
apparently did not enjoy his trip to England for the Olympics (he was a
reserve horse). We originally thought he would go on to Burghley (where
he came 7th in 2011), but he wasn’t feeling up to snuff and came back to
the States with the other US team horses. Neville spent a couple of
months hanging out in Pennsylvania and enjoying his favorite pastime –
wind-sucking. He went down to Aiken at the beginning of January and
started back into work. Boyd (Martin) says he is feeling great, and he
jumped really well when he went to Ocala a few weeks back to train with
Scott Keach. Watching a video of the two-day show jumping session, it
looks like Scott put Neville in a pelham and a martingale – haven’t
talked to Boyd about this, but maybe they are trying to teach an old
horse some new tricks.
