It seems that as soon as eventing season is over, it’s clinic season here at O’Hanlon Eventing. Selena and I have always done lots of clinics in the winter. Selena started being asked to give clinics when she was 14. She has been giving them ever since. We have both been very busy these last […]
At the end of the competitive year, it’s all “after Fair Hill” – we will get that done “after Fair Hill”. However, just BEFORE Fair Hill we finally finished all our fencing. Thanks to Matt Kidney, Dick Bayly, Mike Maschi and all the others including my staff who put in long long days to get […]
How did we go from Fair Hill to the end of November? I have a lot of catching up to do. First of all, Fair Hill itself. It wasn’t our best ever three day. Solo retired on course after getting het up (excited) and not staying straight enough for a skinny. He is definitely struggling […]
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 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. […]
