Today was busy again, is it ever anything else when you have horses? Selena and Anne Marie were up early and off to Rocking Horse Winter 2. It is spread over four days and today is the dressage and show jumping for Foxwood High in the Advanced division. Tomorrow he comes back and does his […]
It was a fun day at both ends of NA. They had great fun at the Florida Horse Park on schooling day. Woody did a dressage test, King Brian did cross country, Zephyr did cross country, Anne Marie did cross country and show jumping with Riley and Selena also did cross country on a lovely […]
Not a fun day for O’Hanlon Eventing North. The snow came back with a vengeance and I have been snowed in at the farm for some hours now. I worry about the roads for the ladies who work for me. I know there were stuck cars everywhere today. The horses didn’t mind, they went out […]
Today is a working day and not our traditional day off. The horses have had two days off because of the extreme cold. When it warms up this afternoon they are going to have to get some work done! I am very happy to see the back of the cold snap. This morning I let […]
Today it is -25 and due to rise to a balmy -17 overnight. Tomorrow looks a bit more civilized in it’s temperatures, but today is definitely a non-riding day for everyone. This is our second straight day of not being able to ride because it’s just too darn cold. There is no wind and they […]
First event of the year has been a bit of a roller coaster to say the least. Woody did a much better test than Wellington and in the snaffle. Those movements that are worth double are REALLY HARD and costly! I had a great show jumping round and then found out the time was VERY […]
We got brave and put the OTTBs out in the big paddock with ‘the gang’ tonight. Rummy jumped into the dressage ring and was eating while Benny cantered around trying to get excited. Rummy wasn’t having any of it…lol. It was cute. I watched them walk down to the back and Benny tried again having a […]
Benny, Rummy and Solo have all arrived safely in Florida and are decompressing after their journey. They did the straight through run and they were in the trailer for 24 hours. I did all my worrying for nothing, they all drank well, took their RegenerEQ and carrots on the way down, and they are in […]
Selena left at 7:15 a.m. for the border. The vet is not there until 8:00 a.m. and Selena had made an appointment to take the horses through at 8:00 a.m. Everything ran according to schedule and the trip across the border was smooth sailing. The last time I heard from her was at 5:29 p.m. […]
I feel like the days are rushing by this winter, out of control. Selena arrived this morning and immediately started teaching. Eventers really are incredibly fit and hardworking, they have to be. She slept in New York somewhere on the way up and got here around 10:00 a.m. By 10.30, she was in the barn […]
