Five Tips For Nailing Your Next Catch-Ride Earlier this year, I attended my first Intercollegiate Horse Shows Association National Championship in Syracuse, New York. Growing up with a show jumping trainer as a mother and a Canadian Rodeo Hall of Fame inductee as a father, I’ve spent my life around horse shows, but this was […]
Elkton, Md.—Oct. 20 It was a little bittersweet as Erin Sylvester finished her victory gallop at the Dutta Corp. Fair Hill International CCI4*-L this afternoon with Paddy The Caddy. Sylvester has been competing at Fair Hill for years, completing her first CCI3*-L in 2009, and she became the 31st and final winner of the four-star […]
Elkton, Md.—Oct. 20 Woods Baughman had only 1 point in hand heading into show jumping today at the Dutta Corp. Fair Hill International CCI3*-L, so the pressure was on. But Baughman followed his coach Sharon White’s advice—“Don’t get weird.” C’est La Vie 135 didn’t touch a rail over Marc Donovan’s course to take the win. “I […]
Elkton, Md.—Oct. 20 All horses presented passed the final horse inspection at the Dutta Corp. Fair Hill International this morning. Fifty pairs presented in the CCI3*-L. Babette Lenna Gonyea’s Marketscan was held but passed on reinspection. Twenty-nine pairs presented in the CCI4*-L. Notably, Lauren Kieffer’s third-placed ride D.A. Duras was withdrawn overnight. Show jumping for […]
Harrisburg, Pa.—Oct. 19 When Beezie Madden and Coach zipped around the jump-off for the $134,000 Prix de Penn National course, the audience gasped at the tight inside turn she made to a vertical in the middle of the ring. Their efficient track looked simply unbeatable. But Molly Ashe Cawley wasn’t going to give up. She […]
Elkton, Md.—Oct. 19 They say a bad dress rehearsal equals a good show, and for Waylon Roberts, that saying held true heading into the Dutta Corp. Fair Hill International CCI4*-L. Roberts and Lancaster completed their first Land Rover Kentucky CCI5*-L this spring with a slow, but clear, cross-country round. But in their first event back […]
Elkton, Md.—Oct. 19 Sharon White had just one piece of advice for her student Woods Baughman before he headed out on cross-country today in the CCI3*-L at the Dutta Corp. Fair Hill International with C’est La Vie 135—“Don’t get weird. Just keep it zen.” “He gets wild, so I have to just try to stay […]
Harrisburg, Pa.—Oct. 18 There’s only one way to top a championship at the Pennsylvania National: Do it again. Jazz Johnson Merton and Corona SB claimed the amateur/amateur-owner jumper championship in Harrisburg this year, repeating their 2017 win. They clinched the title with a second-placed finish in today’s $7,500 amateur/amateur-owner jumper classic. The winners of the […]
Elkton, Maryland—Oct. 18 Six years ago Mara DePuy was nearly ready to give up upper-level eventing. She’d had a couple of horses that weren’t the right fit and had lost confidence. But all that changed when Congo Brazzaville C came into the barn as a 6-year-old. DePuy took her time with him as they moved […]
Harrisburg, Pa.—Oct. 18 Before Kelly Tropin went in for her last round, she was talking about the future with her trainer Peter Lutz. “Peter and I were joking before I went in for the last round, saying someday we’ll say, ‘Remember the time Chablis got three 92s at Harrisburg?’ And then he topped it.” After […]
