Good morning Eventing Nation! I’m happy to report that Lionheart’s recovery from colic surgery is going swimmingly, and Allison is thrilled to have him healthy again. From Allison’s FB: “After a lot of crying yesterday, I’m excited to share a happy picture with Lion. It’s so wonderful to see him comfortable. He still has a ways to go, so please keep him in your prayers. A big thanks to everyone at Palm Beach Equine for taking such great care if him.”

News From Around The Globe:

Think you might like to learn from Yogi Breisner, Aaron Vale or Jacquelyn Brooks? Then head on over to the 2014 ICP Symposiums, both East and West coast! This year is the ninth annual east coast symposium, and the exciting first year of a west coast debut! Yogi Breisner will be teaching at Galway Farms this Friday January 17th. On February 10th, Jacquelyn will teach Dressage riding and training in Ocala, Florida, and the next day Aaron will be teaching us more about show jumping. Horses on both days will range from those in the early-training stage through horses in the middle- and mature-training stages of dressage and jumping work, respectively.  As is true in all ICP symposia, Jacquelyn, Aaron, and Yogi will be communicating as much with their audience members as with their riders.

Phillip Dutton has a new horse in the barn, and he used to be a pretty awesome racehorse! Icabad Crane was 3rd in the 2008 Preakness Stakes, and won a total of $585,980 in his career, retiring at the age of eight sound and ready for a new job. Icabad will travel to Aiken on January 17th to begin training in full with Phillip and start his new career as an Event horse. Be sure to “like” his page on Facebook to keep up with his progress!
