Anneke and Van Gogh GS @ Galway Downs from beth obermeyer on Vimeo.
We love feel-good stories about eventers lending their fellow eventers a hand. This one comes in from reader Beth Obermeyer.
We just returned from a fantastic week at Galway Downs, where my daughter (Anneke) and her new baby horse (Van Gogh GS) completed their first Novice event together. They had the best time and we are all really proud of the partnership that they are forming! However, this week wouldn’t have been possible had it not been for the superhero that stepped in to save the day.
Anneke and her dad hauled her horse to Temecula from Phoenix, AZ on Monday. Our trailer is only about 18 months old, so we were all really surprised to find that only three of the four wheels remained on the trailer when they unloaded Xander! We obviously felt incredibly blessed to just have them alive and safe.

The mechanic told us that the axle had to be replaced and it would be days before the repair could be made. Without a trailer, we had nowhere to store all of Anneke’s equipment. That’s when Jess Hargrave, pretty much the kindest person in the universe, stepped in to save the day!
Not only did she take Anneke along with her to the William Fox Pitt clinic at Copper Meadows, but she helped Anneke move all of her equipment into her own trailer, and then she parked her trailer at Galway so that Anneke could still compete and have all of her “horse things” with her!
Jess is one-of-a-kind and we are so grateful to her for taking such great care of Anneke and Xander and making it possible for them to complete their first Novice event!
Go Eventing.
