The weather is completely out of control, with a massive heat wave hitting the south while rain is parking over the east coast for the next two weeks. Stay hydrated, stay dry, and everyone keep your fingers crossed for the events scheduled to run over the next month. Say it with me: no more cancellations!

Your Wednesday News & Notes

Hannah Francis has been gone for two years now but her legacy lives on.  The Wilberry Wonderpony Charity has now raised sufficient funds to fund groundbreaking research at the University of Sheffield on osteosarcoma, the disease Hannah died from. With the rarity of the cancer, there has been low funding for research and the treatment has not changed in thirty years. [Wilberry Wonderpony Funds Cancer Research]

Chatwin may be a CCI3* champion but like most of us, he also likes to go hard on the doughnuts. Frankie wasn’t the most impressed by him initially, dubbing him an ‘Eeyore’ but his personality grew on her. Chatwin treats her young sons with care, especially when they feed him pastries by the dozen. [Behind the Stall Door]

A pony and a paint have picked up the Charles Owens Technical Merit Awards for Area IX. Sugar and Spice, a paint Oldenburg mare, along with her owner/rider Andora Tutvedt picked up the award at Golden Spike Horse Trials while Elyssa Stubblefield and A.F. Hermes, a roan Welsh pony, acquired the junior prize. [Charles Owen Technical Merit Awards]

Attwood Wisdom of the Week: Safety | Performance | Innovation

You could say the road to Great Meadow International 2018 was paved in Attwood footing. Well, maybe paved would not be the right word but you get the gist.   Looking back at that competition, it was truly inspiring to know so many of the competing athletes were prepping on Attwood Surfaces.

From the newly expanded arena at Phillip Dutton’s True Prospect Farm, to multi rings and gallop at Boyd Martin’s Windurra USA to Liz Millikin’s lovely Lion’s Gate Farm to Will Faudree’s spectacular Gavilan Farm. That’s a lot of footing! Because these riders depend on us so much they are much more than clients, they are our family.

We believe that a horse’s health and soundness can be greatly impacted by its daily training surface. That’s why we are constantly testing our footing to find innovative solutions for safety and performance.
