Another year is over here at O’Hanlon Eventing, with Christmas behind us…just…everything now revolves around the timing of Selena’s trek South as the first training camp with the new trainer, Clayton Fredericks is February first, meaning the horses need to be down there at least a week ahead, weather gods permitting. With the year ending […]

Vitall and I are back in training for the first time since a year ago, and it feels great! We have started training with someone new. It’s still new partnership, so I am not going to announce who my new coach is just yet, but so far I am really, really happy about what this […]

It’s not often that I blog again this quickly, but O’Hanlon Eventing has a very exciting announcement, and where better to announce but here! As of yesterday, ‘Bellany Rock’, Jean Rablat’s lovely Irish Advanced eventer has been given to Selena to ride. Jean made the arrangements with the help of Arthur Tateishi from Eventing Canada […]

The Royal is over, Christmas is coming and most barns are experiencing a small lull in the clamour. Our barn seems to go flat out from December the first until Eventing night at the Royal, then finally, two or three weeks of calm. Our own personal ‘calm’ is filled to the brim with winterizing, cleaning, […]

Vitall just had his final check-up this past week and he is A-Ok! He has been going amazing, feeling better than ever, and now we have the green light from his ultrasound showing that everything looks good and we will be back in the show ring in no time. I am so excited. Our piaffe-passage […]

Brr, Brr, Brr. It’s fall time already. It feels like summer just flew by. But Halloween is around the corner one of my favourite holidays. To my dismay Holland doesn’t celebrate Halloween. Nevertheless, Oslo and I will have to have our own Halloween party! This time of year, usually horse’s coats get dry. I’ve started […]

Things have been moderately quiet since Bromont, the only big excitements being an outing to Richland. Before Richland, Selena took Solo and Woody (aka Foxwood High) to Bruce Davidson’s for a tune up then onwards to Michigan, we certainly put the miles on our trailer. Richland was a good outing, they both ran Advanced, first […]

I had a fabulous time with my Mom, but a week just flew by too quick. We did all sorts of horsey things together like going around to all the different tack stores. Each tack store is always different. It’s amazing all the little nifty things you can find. Best part of our horsey week […]

This summer has just flown by way too fast, but I am ending August in the best way possible. My Mom is coming for a visit, which I am really excited about. It feels like years since I have seen my family. She is coming to get a horsey fix and see the progress with […]

I had an amazing opportunity to be able to go to London for a few days to experience the Olympics and watch the Grand Prix Special. It was truly incredible. The atmosphere in the city reminded me when Vancouver had the Winter Olympics. Everything is just buzzing around including the people. There is just this […]
