Hi everyone! The November issue of Horse Sport contains an interview I conducted with Canadian Eventing High Performance Technical Advisor Clayton Fredericks, as he approaches the first anniversary of his position. Below, please find the extended interview, which contains a great deal more than there was room to print in the magazine. Enjoy! On Cultivating Greatness An […]
This is the second video put out by Land Rover UK. They’re doing videos on each equestrian discipline, and this one gave me goose bumps .I love the analogies they use to describe what we do. “To have the mentality and training like a kindergarten teacher, patient and instructions easy to understand.” I also love […]
On went the summer streaming and careening by… I don’t know what everybody else’s summer is like, but ours is one headlong onwards rush. I can’t believe we are on the countdown to Fairhill already, it only seems like a week ago we were at Bromont. Selena took Rocky and Solo to Richland Park CIC*** […]
The last few weeks I have had the opportunity to visit some really cool stables. I was able to check out VDL Stud, one of their sales barns. It consisted of nine barns. It was just huge, with fields surrounding the entire property.Everywhere I looked I saw a horse, and next to the fields with […]
The weeks have galloped by again. So many things were set for ‘After Bromont….’ The build up to a major three day event is long and unwavering. Sometimes it can be too hot/cold to ride some of the others, but a horse that is being brought up for a three star is going to have […]
Now that the excitement has died down… I have not been to many of Selena’s shows over the past three years. Since we moved to Balsam Hall in Kingston, it has been so busy (and so much fun) at home that my outings have been limited to Fairhill 2012 and Bromont 2013. Fairhill was not […]
Sorry I didn’t write sooner. Was a late night last night and today I took my dear friend Christine “Pitty” around to local farms here in Canada as a thank you for all her help at Bromont. The boys look happy out on grass today even if it is still raining! The jog was smooth […]
All I can say is wow what a lucky girl I am to have three amazing horses. Now officially 3* horses!! Woody was so honest and felt strong right to the end. We took the straight route everywhere. I was particularly pleased with his ride at fence # 14 A, B, C the HUGE drop […]
Well my horses tried really hard (sometimes too hard) today. Woody was great. I’m sad we didn’t pull off our extended trot…we have been working so hard at it. In the warm up he did some of the best extensions he has ever done but in the ring we got a little crooked and broke […]
Today was a little rainy, spitting rain mostly so not too bad. I walked the course in the a,m, and rode the boys in the afternoon. Started with Woody who was fabulous. Did a few changes and they felt quite good. I rode Solo with Angie and Wisher. They were preparing for their test at 2:30 p.m. […]
