Update on The Horses
This morning all of the horses are continuing their recovery and are doing much better. They are more comfortable and able to rest more peacefully, which will help in their recovery. With smoke inhalation, the most important process is to keep them comfortable & enable the horses to expel the affected tissue from the smoke and for their lung tissue to heal.
We will continue to give periodic updates as to the recovery of our horses when appropriate & thank you again for everyone's concerned emails & calls.

Tax Deductible Relief Fund
The following tax deductible relief fund has been set up through our friends at SCES, a national organization based out of Southern California, who supports our sport. This relief fund is a general fund set up to help everyone at Windurra LLC and True Prospect Farm, as well as our owners and riders who have been impacted by this tragedy. Please help us spread the word by making a donation and then sending out the link to all of your friends & equestrian contacts.
Once again we'd like to help everyone who has sent their best wishes and volunteered to help us during these trying times. Samantha Lendl will be writing a formal press release from PRO and distributing that with upcoming fundraising efforts as well. Thank you again to the entire eventing community for your support.

Barn Fire at True Prospect Farm
As many of you have already heard thanks to excellent reporting from John Thier at EventingNation.com and the folks at PRO, last night there was a barn fire at True Prospect Farm.
Six horses were lost in the fire: Call Me Ollie, Charla, Ariel, Phantom Pursuit, Cagney Herself, and Summer Breeze.
Currently undergoing treatment at New Bolton Center are Neville Bardos, Otis Barbotiere, Catch a Star and Ambassador's Rose.
Lillian, Caitlin and Ryan were treated and released from Jennersville Hospital.
Obviously this is a difficult time, and our deepest condolences go out to everyone connected with these horses. We are grateful for your thoughts and prayers and all of the messages and well wishes that we have been receiving from the eventing community. We will keep you updated as we receive more information.

A new blog from Silva: WE HAD TO LISTEN TO ASHLEA SING!!!
First of all I would like to say that Ashlea did what I was afraid of: she sang the Australian national anthem "loud and proud"! Thank God she was crying at the same time: that way she could not sing loud enough for everybody to hear.
Besides the fact that she should not ever sing unless she is all by herself, I am very very proud of her! She won her freestyle in the CDI Y at the Horse Park of New Jersey with almost 70%. I am a little embarrassed to say this, since I am supposed to be a tough German girl, but even I got goose bumps when they played the Aussie Anthem for Ashlea. Ashlea has been working very hard for this and this is a very big step towards her goal of representing Australia at the Young Rider World Cup in Frankfurt, Germany.
I would like to thank Ann Miller, who put this beautiful freestyle together for us in time for this weekend. She did an amazing job!
Kymmy and Markie also had a good weekend and Kyymy rode very well today. This was the first time for them to compete in Fourth level test 3, which is a very hard test to ride. They finished third in a big, competitive field! Good job!
I've said it before but I have to say it again: I have the most amazing horses! I am soooo lucky!
Stately did the first qualifier for the World Breeders Young Horse Championship in Verden, Germany in August and he was amazing! Michael Barisone helped me warm up all weekend and Stately got better and better. The qualifier was judged by German judge Peter Holler and American judge Jeanne McDonald. We scored 86% and won out of 25 horses! This has to be the best score I have ever gotten - what an amazing horse!
Stateley and I are going to compete in the selection trial for 6-year-old horses for the World Championships in Germany next weekend at Morven Park. Everyone keep your fingers crossed for us!
Rosa Cha W also had a great weekend. She won Third, test 2 with 74% and Third, 3 with 73%, and scored 72% in the Young Horse class today! Rosa will also compete at the selection trial at Morven Park.
Duvent had a much better test yesterday: we did Fourth level test 3 for the first time and finished third with 63%. I am excited about him - he is going to be great!
