Lexington, Ky.—Nov. 10 The first time Dr. Vasiliki Harvey, DVM, CVA, took her Gypsy Vanner gelding Harold to a show last year, he attracted lots of attention for his colorful coat and long flowing mane. “His first horse show we went to, his name was Harold, and all the girls and the ladies were running […]
Lexington, Ky.—Nov. 10 Although he’s 11 now, Imponente Dos Rios had only shown one time in his life with his previous owner before Kaylei Perry-Hunley took over the ride earlier this year.

Lexington, Ky.—Nov. 7 Kathryn Fleming-Kuhn paused when she was asked what it was about Franzsis HSR that caught her eye when she saw a video of him as a newborn foal. “He moved like a cat, and I was just really taken with what athleticism I saw and the handiness I saw in him, and […]
Lexington, Ky.—Nov. 7 Sarah Jammer can’t quite believe she’s made it to the U.S. Dressage Finals. The 21-year-old traveled from Parker, Colorado, to the Kentucky Horse Park this week to compete Cami Klein’s 16-year-old Chip, a palomino Paint/Quarter horse gelding. “I don’t think it feels as big as it actually is,” Jammer said Thursday, the […]
