Temecula, Calif.—Nov. 3 Tamie Smith put her new United States Equestrian Team pinque coat on in hopes of scoring a third Galway Downs International victory, this one in the CCI4*-L, but after two rails with Ruth Bley’s fast-rising star, En Vogue, it was Sara Mittleider’s turn to take the top spot thanks to a double […]
Lexington, Ky.—Nov. 3 It was a subtle change. A curtain up on the concourse of the Alltech Arena was opened, and a stream of light came flooding in. Most wouldn’t notice it. It didn’t get noticeably brighter in the ring, and the patch of sunlight that landed on the arena footing wasn’t large, but its […]
We’re here in Lexington, Kentucky, yet again for the ASPCA Maclay Final, where 178 of the country’s top junior riders aspire to win one of the most elusive equitation titles.

Lexington, Ky.—Nov. 2 As he leaned over the table at the press conference following the $225,000 Longines FEI Lexington World Cup qualifier to look at his new Longines watch, Brian Moggre’s eyes widened a hair, and he exclaimed, “Oh baby!” Though his demeanor was bright and full of mirth as he was peppered with questions, […]
Lexington, Ky.—Nov. 2 As Upsilon De La Liniere peaked over second to last fence in the jump-off for the $25,000 Hollow Brook Wealth Management Show Jumping Hall Of Fame Amateur-Owner/Junior Jumper Grand Prix, Taylor St. Jacques planted her right hand in the gelding’s neck and didn’t let go until he’d whipped around the tight space in […]
Lexington, Ky.—Nov. 2 Though that Dec. 1 date loomed in the future marking the end of her junior era, Nicole Dorwart decided to ignore it. Sure, her competitors would be looking to win an equitation final or sweep the junior hunters divisions at every horse show. But that wasn’t her goal as she purchased a […]
Lexington, Ky.–Nov. 1 Many of us can remember a time when all we could think about is the next opportunity to sit on a horse. It’s before our minds become cluttered with thoughts of getting just the right canter and “Was that distance just a little too tight?” and “Did he lean to the left […]
At long last, November is here. I don’t just love November because it’s finally cool enough for my draft blood or because my hay and grain rations start increasing (though that’s a big part of it, I’ll be honest). I love it because it’s the start of #NoStirrupNovember. Frankly, I don’t think no-stirrup work should […]
Lexington, Ky.—Nov. 1 Maggie Hill has a very specific errand to run the morning of a big horse show. She can’t arrive without a few treats from Dunkin’ Donuts for her horse Cassanto. But it can’t just be any donuts. “He likes the ones with the pink frosting from Dunkin’ Donuts,” Hill said. “He doesn’t […]
