Devon, Pa.—June 5
This morning someone pulled Richard Taylor aside and commented that he was in the pressure cooker today. After all, Taylor was presenting last year’s Best Young Horse, Arbor Hill, in the 3-year-old stallions and geldings class, and his Venture Stables had already earned the Best Young Pony, Papillon, last weekend. But Taylor didn’t look at it that way.
“You got a great horse,” he said “What you really hope is that he shows great, and he showed great today.”
The United States Equestrian Federation wrapped up its inaugural Show Jumping Developing Rider, Young Horse and Breeding Evaluation Clinic Pilot Program on Aug. 4, at Spy Coast Farm in Lexington, Ky.
A group of 15 developing riders, young horse professionals and breeders took part in the one-day session, held in conjunction with the farm’s BWP Keuring. The invitation-only clinic featured Belgium’s Head Stallion Judge Boudewijn Schepers and offered a unique opportunity to learn from industry experts on young horse selection and development.
