Lisa Marie Fergusson knows her five-star mount Honor Me well—like really well. She bought the gelding sight unseen as a 4-year-old. “Someone else I know looked at him, and he had bone chips in three out of four ankles,” Fergusson said. “She told me he wasn’t going to work out for her, but this horse […]
Wellington, Fla.—April 1 Pretty soon riders are going to start quaking in their boots when they see Tori Colvin and El Primero’s names on hunter derby start lists.

Temecula, Calif.—March 31 Heading into the start box for cross-country at the Galway Downs International CCI4*-S, Emilee Libby was looking to keep her lead with Jakobi, but after hearing the announcer report that the pair ahead of her, Frankie Thieriot Stutes and Chatwin, had parted company, she got a little distracted. “It was actually more […]

Ward’s gallop down the final line of the $500,000 Rolex Grand Prix, held at the […]
Wellington, Fla.—March 30 Tori Colvin is still in the early stages of her partnership with the 10-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding El Primero (Numero Uno—Zo-Special, Indorado), but they are quickly shaping up to be the ones to beat in hunter derbies. Four weeks after winning the $50,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby at Deeridge Farms (Wellington, Florida), […]
Wellington, Fla.—March 29 Scott Stewart always knew he had a great derby horse when Tradition came to his barn two years ago. He just had to convince Liza Boyd that. “He’s quite a nice junior hunter, but he’s also an exceptional derby horse, and Scott told me that for a long time before I even […]
As her 60th birthday approaches, the ever hilarious Jody Lynne Werner is reflecting on the evolution of all things horses. First up was boots, and now the about-to-be sexagenarian rider tackles saddles. THEN Reluctantly decide it is time for a new saddle when the flap on your current one falls off as you attempt to […]
