Eventing Nation Video Interview with Boyd

Check out this awesome interview that John Thier of Eventing Nation did with Boyd at Bromont this past weekend:

Great weekend for Dressage horses at Dressage at Fair Hill!

Silva is on a winning streak and continued her success when she took four horses to Dressage at Fair Hill this weekend:

I took Sea Lord,Rosa Cha W,Fair Fiona W and Comet V to Dressage at Fair Hill this weekend. I am so pleased with all my horses at the moment; I am very lucky that I have such good horses to ride. That's when our job is fun!

Sea Lord

Sea Lord was fantastic this weekend. He feels stronger and stronger every time I take him out. He won the Prix St George with 70.6% on Saturday and backed it up with winning the Intermediaire 1 on Sunday with 74%! He really is a great horse and loves to show off. This weekend Sea Lord was FEI champion! I am thinking about doing his first CDI at Saugerties, NY.

Rosa Cha W

Of course Rosa Cha W was amazing again. She did not just win, she won with an awesome score of 79%! She is a fantastic horse and soooooo brave for such a baby. She does not spook at anything at all. I LOVE RIDING HER!

Fair Fiona W

Fair Fiona W seems to like to stay with the same good score for the last 3 shows; she won both her second level classes with 71%. She is a little like Rosa in the way that she is so easy at the shows. Nothing bothers her, ever! She got a 10 in one of her medium trots and was second level champion and high score!

Comet

Comet was also a good boy this weekend and seems to get more and more confident in the fourth level. He finished 3rd.

Claudia and Eise

My student Claudia Schulz and her horse Eise looked much much better this weekend. We are slowly getting the puzzle together.

On Saturday night I took Jeff the Chef W to do a demonstration ride at the Dressage at Devon preview party. We did a Grand Prix freestyle to music from Cirque du Soleil.
It was 90 degrees on Saturday and Jeff was very hot and tired, but when the audience turned up and the music began to play, he woke up and tried very hard for me. I am proud of him and so excited to see how good we can get!

Ownership Opportunity: Announcing the Rosa Cha Syndicate

NAME: Rosa Cha W

SEX: Mare

COLOR: Bay

HEIGHT: 16.2 hands

DATE OF BIRTH: 2005

BREED: Oldenburg

Rarely does a horse as talented and full of promise as Rosa Cha W present herself and we would like to extend to you the opportunity to join Rosa on her exciting journey to the international dressage arena.

By joining the Rosa Cha W Syndicate you will play a vital role in the development of this promising young mare’s abilities and the blossoming of her competitive career.
Rosa shows great potential: at 5 years old and standing at 16.2hh she exudes brilliance and talent and has all the makings of a future star. She has been to three competitions so far and won every time out, including the championship at her last show. She is already qualified for the GAIG Championships and for the BLM Championships. Rosa is a very special horse and we think she is going to do amazing things!

It is not by chance that she promises greatness: she is by Regardez Moi, (Who competed at the World Cup Finals and is going to compete at the WEG in Kentucky) who is by the great Westphalian stallion Rubinstein. We think that she will be a very good Grand Prix horse, since she is just like her father and we know him well. Her dam is Yasmin, who is by Medallion, who is by Matcho.

Rosa Cha W has been fully vetted, including 32 clean X-rays which are available to interested parties. She is sound and in good health. Anyone is welcome to stop by the farm and meet Rosa Cha W and watch Silva working with her.

Below you will find the syndication agreement as well as a general training plan. As with every plan things can change but it's our starting point. We are humbled and appreciative of your support. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.

Sincerely, Boyd and Silva Martin

Another Great Weekend for the Dressage Horses at Bucks County

Silva took Rosa Cha W and Comet V to the dressage show at Bucks County yesterday. She says:

Rosa Cha W

Rosa was brilliant again. I am so happy to be able to ride such a amazing horse! Yes, she is very young and we are only doing training, but I have ridden many horses in my life but she really gives me an amazing feeling. Rosa is acting like she has been doing this all her life. She really went beautifully in both her classes and ended up winning both and was training level champion of the show!

Comet V was a good boy as well. He is getting more and more comfortable with the fourth level tests and he won both his classes too!

Comet V

Denise Rotko brought her new horse Zugspitze (pictured left and right) to the show for me to school there. Denise imported Zugspitze from Holland about a month ago. He is a very impressive six year old horse with all the potential in the world. I am very very lucky that Denise and Michael Rotko asked me to ride this special horse.



Frank Burnes rode Theopolis Thisla W at the show as well. Boyd and I bred Theo and I trained and showed him all the way up to Grand Prix. We sold Theo about 2 years ago to Ann Carlino; Frank is riding him for her. We are so happy that Theo ended up in such a good home and Frank is doing a great job with him.

Fair Fiona (top picture) is a sensational modern day dressage horse. She is a perfect mix of power, elegance and athletism.
