Vitall and I are busy putting our freestyle together for Aachen I am really excited about it. I chose music from a kids’ video game called Skylanders. My little nephew is thrilled as it’s one of his favourite games. I chose the music because it appeals to everyone, its light and upbeat but also dramatic […]

Today was beautiful weather at Bromont. Bizzy and I tried to make the most of it because it’s meant to deteriorate later on this week. I rode all three boys in the sunshine on the flat. I hacked Solo around the track with Jessica Phoenix on Pavarotti. Jess and I have been on teams together […]

I cannot believe it’s June already. Apart from anything else, the weather in May felt more like April and it took me a long time to emerge from my down jacket this year. But I have put it away and taken the duvet off the bed because it’s too hot, stopped covering each of the […]

Another weekend has flown by. Selena left Friday for Grandview and got back here around 10:30 on Saturday night. There is no such thing as a short day in an eventer’s life. Grandview was very successful. Our first timer, Paige Talledo’s lovely Warmblood mare, Kailee, was second in her division. Zephyr, Kelly Damp’s lovely little […]

Well, MCTA went well….sort of. Selena was not performance happy despite a competitive dressage test from Solo with his best mark ever at this level and a third and fifth placing in the Advanced division for Woody and Rocky respectively. The dressage went fairly well. Each of the three horses putting in pretty solid tests, […]

The training schedule here at home has been steady with emphasis on dressage. Selena and Foxwood High have […]

Competing in Aachen a few weeks ago was one of the most exciting and memorable places I have ever ridden. On last minute notice, I was able to organize to enter a National show at Aachen, Germany. Vitall took in the atmosphere really well. The first day I rode in all the arenas and the […]

It enables you to divide your estate as you wish (subject to certain limitations), make gifts to specific individuals, provide […]

The Fork wasn’t the boys’ best outing. The dressage scores were not as good as hoped for, although Selena was still happy with the tests that the boys put in. Woody had put in a good test, but bucked against the leg in one of the changes. At this level with the competition that is […]

The six Spruce Meadows bred Hannoverian horses were chosen by a delegation of Chinese horsemen after a meticulous inspection and trial earlier this year. The horses have since been […]
