Apologies for not posting yesterday, but the return home has brought out the fatigue in me. I spent a good part of the middle of yesterday hitting ‘refresh’ on the TO2015 website during the Eventing show jumping, effectively following the competition via the online results, which were almost live, and my only option – given the CBC’s persistence in ignoring […]
America scooped both the team and individual titles as Eventing came to a close today at the Pan-American Games 2015 in Caledon Park, Toronto, Canada. Always with their eyes on the target of that single qualifying spot on offer for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, Philip Dutton, Lauren Kieffer, Marilyn Little and Boyd Martin forged […]
Canada’s inaugural Adequan FEI North American Junior & Young Rider Championships (NAJYRC) para-dressage team, formed by team veteran Madison Lawson of King City, ON, and up-and-coming riders, Sara Cummings of Cranbrook, BC, and Nel Godin-Keating of Dartmouth, NS, earned solid Team Test scores across the board.

The spacious new Pan Am arena will be used as additional stabling during the Games and then footing will be installed in time for use at fall competitions.
When Cody Sturgess laid eyes on a two-year-old bay Thoroughbred filly 10 years ago that was proving too slow for the racetrack, it was love at first sight.
Did you catch the great sport at Spruce Meadows last Saturday? Two thumbs up to CBC for providing the live coverage that gave me a sneak peak at our Pan Am Show Jumping team. Not that I have any insider information on the Pan Am teams, which are being announced en masse this coming Saturday […]
The Spring flies by. With Woody having had a stop at Rolex and subsequently retiring on course, Selena is now getting ready for Bromont. Rolex was a huge disappointment, but the going was slicker than Selena had anticipated and she felt she had not put enough studs in front. Woody slid into the ‘in’ to […]
