This will be the last Florida post – next week is North Carolina. Anne Marie flew down on Sunday to pack up the troops and I fly home today…my airport bus leaves Ringwood in the New Forest at 3:15 a.m., ugh! I have had a wonderful, if slightly chillier than hoped for visit. Last night […]

Competing in Europe is not as big and scary as all of us at home think it is. It’s the same just on a bit of a bigger scale. Most national shows are only one day and everyone trucks in and out, and all the horses wait on the trucks between classes. In the beginning, […]

O’Hanlon Eventing South is busy, busy, busy. There is another Canadian Team Training session this week that Selena is looking forward to. Angie Huber arrived on Saturday to spend a couple of weeks down south riding her lovely mare Wisher. Wisher and Rosein (our Irish Draft X sales horse) are running at Rocking Horse this […]

On their second outing the boys really pulled their socks up. Rocky and Woody were moved up to Advanced at Pine Top this past weekend. Solo had to stay at the OI level after having taken issue with the corners at Rocking Horse. They all finished top placed Canadians in their respective divisions. After having […]

The season has finally begun for O’Hanlon Eventing. On Friday last, Selena rode Bellany Rock, Foxwood High and A First Romance in the open intermediate at Rocking Horse in Florida. Dressage first, they were all great. We were particularly pleased with Solo (A First Romance) who put in a really solid performance to get a […]

A few weeks ago, I was in Saumur, France visiting some friends, and on the way home I stopped in Paris. I had never been and always wanted to go. Paris was lovely, but it was just a short visit! I just walked through, and saw the Eiffel Tower. Due to a protest that day, […]

I wish everyone a happy, healthy successful New Year! I have a good feeling 2013 is going to be a good year. 2012 had a few ups and downs for me, now Vitall is back up and running and my youngsters are going well. I couldn’t ask for more. I am currently working on a […]
