— Eventing Nation (@eventingnation) April 27, 2014
Boyd cheers Phillip on as Phillip and Oscar complete a strong weekend. For my money, Oscar is one of the very top horses in the country with Boyd (or Phillip) on board.
Go @janbyyny – Inmidair will finish in the top 10 @RolexKentucky 2014 after just an unlucky rail

Ruy Fonseca of Brazil is a class act and much beloved among fans and competitors alike here at Rolex. We were sad to see his weekend come to an early end with a tumble, but we’ll be cheering them on again at a top event sometime soon.

Katie Frie and Houdini collected a tough stop at their first jump in the show jumping. Katie has brought this horse up through the levels and they complete the weekend with Houdini’s first 4* completion on his first 4* attempt. This horse is the real deal and this pair will be kicking butt at 4*’s in the future.
