PEDIGREE

SBF Eowyn, also known as Wynnie, is the ideal horse for a professional, young rider or adult amateur looking to be extremely competitive in whatever event they enter. She is very well bred, fathered by the Dutch super-sire, Riverman. She is the sister to SBF Cortez, who is currently competing at Intermediate level.

Wynnie is a lovely, soft mover and is extremely rideable and trainable for the dressage; she received a 25.8 at her first event. She is a scopey, careful jumper with a lovely gallop that only needs to be ridden in the softest of snaffles. In winter 2014, Wynnie won her first event at Full Gallop Farm, finishing on her dressage score of 25.8, and placed second at Paradise Farm, finishing on her dressage score of 32.

This is an exciting opportunity to purchase a very special horse that will bring you up the levels while winning; rarely is a horse of this quality offered for sale.

Winning Weekend at Paradise Farm Horse Trials

In spite of the recent ice storm and ensuing loss of power here in Aiken, the organizers of Paradise Farm Horse Trials pressed on and put together an excellent event so that all of the eventers could stay on track. A huge thanks for the massive effort that it took for them to make this happen. Our horses had a fantastic weekend.

Top Performance with Majyk Equipe Boots

I've been using the Majyk Equipe cross country boots and bell boots for a year now, and I must say, I've been very, very impressed with their performance. Their durability is amazing, as they've stood up to event after event, horse after horse and have shown no signs of deterioration. Thus far I have not had a boot slip on a horse's leg or produce any type of boot rub. Their design stays super light, even after two or three water jumps around a course.

I'm proud to stand behind this product, as I know in my heart there is no question it is the best boot out there.

Also be sure to check out the new stadium jumping boots!

Performance Improvements at the Global Dressage Festival

I am so happy with the horses' performance today at the GDF! Zoran ("Zoom") was fantastic this morning in the Prix St George. We scored 68% and finished fifth. Mark my words: this horse is going to be a big horse for me! He's so exciting! 

Zoran

Rosa was AMAZING today! I am so happy with how she felt and how I rode. Of course there are still things that need to improve but it was a nice test and sooooo much slower than yesterday. I think this was the best tests, quality-wise, that we have done so far. Four of the judges had us on or above 70% and the fifth gave us 66%. We are getting closer to where we want to be, and we finished third in the CDI Intermediare 1.

Scoutie rode Happy Valley today in her first third level test. I am proud of her; third level is not easy and they had a few mistakes but I know it will go better tomorrow! 

Videos to come!
