McLain Ward is two-thirds of the way to winning the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping after topping the Rolex Grand Prix ‘s-Hertogenbosch Sunday. He rode HH Azur, the same horse with whom he won the Rolex Grand Prix of Geneva in December. From a field of 35 starters Ward and “Annie” qualified for a 16-horse […]
Two months before the Twin Rivers Winter Horse Trials were supposed to take place last weekend in Paso Robles, California, there was a better chance of the venue hosting canoeing than eventing. “They call it a flash flood, and I suppose everyone is supposed to know the definition of that, but I think it’s hard […]

Nick Haness was the Chronicle’s 2022 show hunter rider of the year. We sat down with him to get the scoop on the guy behind the title and learn more about the parrots in his ringside cheering section, his first horse—”he was a mixture of about every breed you could possibly imagine”—his most embarrassing show experience (it’s […]
“Anthony and his handsome gray were not only congratulated with a standing ovation, but a cheering and general uproar that might have been heard at the White House, 10 miles away,” read the Chronicle’s coverage of Anthony d’Ambrosio’s capturing of the indoor world puissance record.
In 1983, d’Ambrosio and the 17.1-hand Thoroughbred Sweet’N Low jumped 7’ 7 ½” to win the puissance in front of a crowd of 15,630 at the Washington International and set the record, which has held for the last 30 years.
Award-winning rider, trainer and course designer Anthony D’Ambrosio and internationally respected official and clinician Linda Allen were inducted into the Show Jumping Hall of Fame on March 5. The induction gala in Wellington, Florida, also honored Canadian show jumping legend Ian Millar with the Hall’s inaugural International Award. “This was our second year hosting our annual induction […]
When Nick Haness was 8, he had a miniature horse barn in his room. Each of the stalls was labeled with the name of its occupant, and he had a tiny whiteboard where he wrote down their schedules. “I basically had a makeshift training program with 100 Breyer horses and saddles and little riders,” he […]
Back in 2014, Heritage Farm trainer Patricia Griffith tagged her former student, Samantha Schaefer, in a Facebook post showing a picture of the horse Schaefer rode to junior gold at the 2011 North American Young Riders Championships (Kentucky), Addison Phillips’ Trezebees, with her new foal. Griffith had gone over to the Netherlands to try horses at Stal […]
Three U.S. riders have qualified to compete in the FEI Dressage World Cup Final, coming up April 3-8 in Omaha, Nebraska. The final North American League qualifier was held March 1-5 at the Adequan Global Dressage Festival in Wellington, Florida, with Anna Buffini clinching the third U.S. spot with FRH Davinia La Douce over Sarah […]
In the dark of early morning Tuesday, in tackrooms—and, let’s be real, probably bathrooms—around Thermal, California; Wellington, Florida; and every place in the U.S. where horses reign supreme, a great cheer erupted. Was it due to a fantastic jump-off being streamed from some far-off country where the day already had begun? No. Was it due to […]
