Lexington, Ky.—Sept. 4 Elisa Wallace is well known for her love of retraining mustangs, so it’s no surprise she’s brought one to the U.S. Eventing Association American Eventing Championships. Wyeth, a 5-year-old 14.1-hand pinto gelding, had a rough start to his new life when Wallace brought him home from his Wyoming herd. He was three-legged […]
Lexington, Ky.—Sept. 3 Boyd Martin wasn’t expecting to win tonight’s $60,000 Adequan USEA Advanced Final at the U.S. Eventing Association American Eventing Championships. He’d lost his dressage lead with Long Island T on Thursday after he fell off on cross-country, and was sitting fourth heading into tonight’s show jumping with Christine Turner’s On Cue behind […]
When Courtney Calnan was looking for her next eventing partner, she had some specific criteria: 15 hands and a mare. She’d had to retire her previous event horse, Little Black Dress, a rescued Arabian-Andalusian who took her to the 2019 USEA American Eventing Championships (Kentucky) and helped earned her U.S. Dressage Federation bronze medal, after the […]
Abby Foltz is one of the Chronicle’s own, working as the advertising sales and production manager for the magazine. She also is one of nearly 1,000 horse-and-rider pairs attending the USEA American Eventing Championships in Kentucky this week. Foltz, Front Royal, Virginia, is competing in the training amateur division with her horse Absolute Zero, a 6-year-old Thoroughbred […]
Lexington, Ky.—Sept. 2 This is the first year that the U.S. Eventing Association American Eventing Championships have offered a modified division, and 36 competitors took advantage of the new offering. The USEA created the modified level—which has jumps at 3’5″— in 2017 to help build a bridge between training level and preliminary level. Modified division dressage leaders […]
Top groom Tracey Edge has four Olympic Games under her belt and decades of experience at the highest levels of show jumping and three-day eventing. Still, the most important piece of advice she’s received was from one of her very first jobs. “I was 20 years old and working at a little riding school in […]
Lexington, Ky.—Sept. 2 Fylicia Barr’s story is the one that many young riders daydream might happen to them: As a young teenager, she bought Galloway Sunrise for $500 off Craigslist as an unbroken baby and trained her, from halter-breaking  to the top of her sport, as they grew up together. Barr made her dream of competing at […]
The dapple chestnut Manhattan is hard to miss—if the dapples don’t get you, the eye-catching hind-end flip will. He’s not just another athletic international show jumper; he’s a homebred, bred on U.S. soil by his pilot Georgina Bloomberg, from two horses she also competed. This weekend, on the grass field in Bridgehampton, New York, she gets […]
Lexington, Ky.—Sept. 1 While Leslie Law and his wife Lesley Grant-Law have had Lady Chatterley since she was 5, it’s taken them both some time to figure her out. Grant–Law competed her first but passed the reins over to Law two years ago. “I started riding her because she does have a little bit of […]
The U.S. Equestrian Federation on Sept. 1 announced the approval of hunter/jumper competitions to be added to the calendar for the first trimester of the 2022 competition year in Florida. In April 2021, the board of directors approved a resolution permitting the USEF to contemporaneously review all mileage-exemption requests for licensed hunter, jumper and hunter/jumper shows in Florida […]
