After placing ninth at The Fork CIC*** (N.C.) and 15th at the Dansko Fair Hill CCI*** (Md.) in 2009, they completed the 2010 Rolex Kentucky in 17th place. This year they placed fifth in an advanced division at Pine Top Spring Advanced (Ga.).
“Stewie” is one of the few horses here that has the capability of finishing with his dressage score. However, to date, Holly has been unable to persuade him to take a serious interest in dressage. This pair will surrender too many points after the dressage to be able to catch up. As his dressage training improves, his placings will improve; the potential is there for all of us to see.
