She set out over Mike Etherington-Smith’s CCI4*-S at the Plantation Field International today with Covert Rights with the thought of testing […]
Unionville, Pa.—Sept. 22 The last time Hillary Parker competed at the Plantation Field International in 2014 she walked off the preliminary cross-country course with Built In Bling after the mare aggravated an old injury.

Pulling up to her first CDI at the Tryon International Equestrian Center (North Carolina) in April, Patricia Borders felt more than a little out of place. For starters, she was competing on an American Saddlebred, a breed whose high head carriage and knee-snapping gaits make them unlikely candidates for the dressage arena. At 71, Borders […]
