Pinetop Eventing

We had an excellent start to the season at Pine Top Eventing. Nancy Winter’s No May Moon was 1st in the AI and The RICO Syndicate’s Vandyke was 2nd in the AI. The Zebedee Group’s Monbeg Zebedee was mostly super but a silly green moment kept him out of a top placing! Big congrats to student Katie Lichten on her 2nd and 3rd place finish in the OP. As always I couldn’t function without my amazing Team! A huge thank you to Paige Ansaldi, Hailey Gahan, and Devon Sutherland for all their hard work. A huge thank you to the owners and sponsors who are all so amazing!! Photo credit to Liz Crawley

American Eventing Championships

The AECs were a very busy and fun week! I cannot thank my dear childhood friend Cheryl Murphy Brownell for coming along on another “working holiday”!!! Cheryl is so fun to have around and did all my amazing tail braids this weekend! The next time I will see her will be at our 30th high school reunion!

So incredibly proud of my students this weekend at the 2023 USEA American Eventing Championships Presented by Nutrena Feeds !!!! Sisi Gallagher was the big winner in the Training Rider Championships, Conner Ann Clark was 10th in the Modified Rider Championships, @kendallAdams was 11th and Katie Tyer was 15th in the Novice Junior Rider division, Kathleen Herbig was 16th in the Novice Master Amateur Championships!!!!

Nancy Winter’s homebred Connemara Dazzling Nocturne and I were 11th in the Novice Horse division, Emma Whittaker was 3rd on HSH Golden Boy in the Junior 14 and under Beginner Novice division and Jen Rodgers All Clear Farm and her AC Sir Elton were Reserve Champion TIP in the Novice Horse division!

So honored to be a part of your journey! Congrats to all!!!

Great Meadow International

What a fantastic weekend at Great Meadow International! This show never fails to amaze me – the atmosphere, the camaraderie, catching up with familiar faces – it truly feels like a second home.

A massive shoutout to the incredible volunteers who keep the gears turning and the show staff who pour their hearts into making this event a success. And of course, a heartfelt thank you to all our sponsors who stand by us, making moments like these possible.

Showing three horses is no small feat, but my dream team really brought their A-game. Business Ben owned by The Business Ben Partnership in the CCI3*-S, and Monbeg Zebedee, owned by The Zebedee Group in the CCI2*-S, both securing top 20 spots. No May Moon owned by Nancy Winter, dazzled in the CCI3*-S as well, finishing 4th.

And a big cheer for my talented student Katie Lichten, who dominated the CCI2*-S with a 3rd place finish and an impressive win in the Piedmont Equine CCI2*-S Under 25 aboard HTS Jensen R. It would be hard to follow that up- except she also secured 4th place in the CCI2*-S and a 2nd in the Piedmont Equine CCI2*-S Under 25 on Romans Code Red! It’s not every day that you get to take 1st and 2nd!

Speaking of success, our recent sales horse HSH Golden Boy is off to an amazing start with his new owner Emma Whitaker. They made their mark at the Fair Hill International August Horse Trials, clinching the win in the Beginner Novice Rider-B division.

Millbrook Horse Trials

What an incredible time at Millbrook Horse Trials! From start to finish, the event was a fantastic experience. The course designer did an outstanding job creating a challenging yet fair course, and the attention to detail was evident all over the event. From the beautifully maintained grounds to the smooth schedule, everything was top notch.

All of my horses ran beautifully. No Way Moon owned by Nancy Winter ended up 1st in Open Intermediate-B, and Business Ben was close behind with a 3rd in Open Intermediate-A. Vandyke was an absolute star, making easy work on the Advanced cross-country track! It’s moments like these that remind me why I love eventing so much!!

All of my students who were at Millbrook with me this weekend also put in lovely rides! I am so proud of all of the word they do in the saddle, and I am excited about the learning that happened on course.

A big shoutout to the volunteers who put in countless hours to make this event possible. Their dedication and enthusiasm make all the difference!

The Maryland Horse Trials

What an incredible weekend at The Maryland Horse Trials! All of my horses, and my students, brought their A-game!  

This past weekend I was lucky enough to pilot Francesca Broggini’s Cooley High Flyer to a win in the Open Training-A, as well as Business Ben, who secured 4th in Open Intermediate, and Natalie Epstein’s Mill Run Millicent, who impressed in the 4-Year Old Young Event Horse. I also want to give a big shout-out to my talented students, Katie Lichten and Martha Wunder, who both ended up with top-ten finishes in Open Novice-B and Open Beginner Novice-A, respectively.  

Huge thank you to all of the officials, judges, and volunteers who made The Maryland Horse Trials possible. Your hard work creates an incredible event for all of us to enjoy, and we could not do it without you.  

And last but certainly not least, I want to acknowledge Emma Whitaker, who recently purchased HSH Golden Boy from us. Their partnership is already shining brightly and earned them 3rd place in Junior Open Beginner Novice this past weekend!! We cannot wait to see what they do next!
