Boyd's XC Recap from Boekelo

Hello All,

Today was a tough day cross-country for Oscar and me. By the time we started out on course at 4pm this afternoon, the ground was well and truly deep and tiring. I set off at a good pace, but soon felt Oscar struggling. Unlike at Rolex Kentucky back in April, I eased up on him and tried to let him recover a bit, still maintaining our rhythm. He was jumping reasonably well, and was reading all of the questions. I must say he was a little bit awkward into both waters, but got through them with encouragement.

He did seem to pick up a bit around the seven minute mark. This was encouraging to me so I kicked on home. He seemed to jump the last third of the course well. I am obviously disappointed with the time penalties, and part of me wishes I was a little harder on him throughout the course, as he recovered quickly! He is trotting up sound and looks happy for tomorrow.

 I thought both Lauren and Liz rode really well, but got a little unlucky at the end of the course.

A word from Boyd after Dressage at Boekelo

Hey guys,

Oscar did well in the dressage this afternoon. It has been pouring rain heavily for the last 24 hours and the footing was terrible.  I felt like it was hard to show off his trot as he was slipping and sliding. I was still very please with his score of 46. A few experts thought I was harshly marked, but I think it was about right. 

It looks like a testing course tomorrow. I plan to ride him with a good rhythm throughout the course, and try not to use him up too early. 

Wish me luck!

Boyd

Fighting Fit for Boekelo

Oscar’s all settled in here in Holland. After a hectic weekend at Morven Park, the pace over here has been quite relaxing, with Oscar only needing flat work once a day. Both Silva and David have been helping me and it seems like everything is in order for Oscar to put in a good test. He trotted up well today, and we have the first veterinary inspection tomorrow. It looks like I’m scheduled to ride last in the dressage for team USA, which should be Friday sometime.

Both Liz Halliday and Lauren Kieffer’s horses look in excellent condition. Overall it looks like an unbelievably competitive field of Olympic veterans on classy horseflesh. I feel like I’ve had a great preparation and I’m looking for a competitive result from Oscar.

Fabulous Young and Mature Dressage Horses For Sale

Danka Shoene RRS

Shoene is a very special three-year-old gelding. A horse with his quality and more than anything with his temperament are only available very young. Shoene already impressed the judges at Dressage at Devon in hand and under saddle. If I did not know this was his first show I would have thought he has done it 100 times. This horse is going to be four years old and he is a true "Old Soul". 

This is not surprising, knowing his family. Shoene is out of Heidekleid RRS who is also the dam of Benefactor RRS and Duvent.

Benefactor is currently fifth in the America as a five year old, and Duvent, who is also out of Heidekleid, has just won fourth level at Dressage at Devon.

Heidekleid also produced Constantina RRS, Coquette RRS and Cisco RRS who are all very high quality horses ridden by amateurs. This young gelding is a real catch with a big future!!
