Stuff is happening out there in the Eventing Nation! This past weekend saw four horse trials: Pine Top Spring H.T. in Thompson, Ga., Ocala Winter II H.T. in Ocala, Fla., MeadowCreek Park H.T. in Kosse, Texas, and Copper Meadows Winter H.T. in Ramona, Calif. Many thanks to the organizers, staff, sponsors, volunteers, competitors and everyone else who makes these great events possible.

A few notes from the weekend that was:

  • The lowest finishing score of the weekend belongs to Bobby Meyerhoff and Lumumba (22.9), winners of the Novice Horse-A division at Ocala. Congrats to “The Donovan Group”! Here’s what that pretty dressage test looked like:

 

First Win for “The Donavan Group” Lumumba you made our man Donavan proud!

  • At MeadowCreek, Angela Bowles won Prelim/Training with Rocktop Dreamer and Open Beginner Novice with Woodstock Classic Rock. At Pine Top Colleen Rutledge won Prelim/Training with Cooley Ironic and Training/Novice with C Me FlyWaylon Roberts won Open Prelim-B with Rio De Janeiro and Open Training A with Wil Celtic Charlie; and Courtney Cooper won Open Training-B with Caia Z and Open Novice-A with Excel Star Kenzo. Sounds like Courtney and her C-Squared crew had a big and busy weekend!

What a way to finish up our Aiken season….Pine Top was a great event with cared for footing and great volunteers…

  • The name game: Shout-out to all the Irish horses out competing on this St. Patrick’s Day weekend! A few that jumped out at us: Irish Beginnings, Bantry Bays Dublin, Celtic King, Paddy Tap, Cooley Kildaire, Wil Celtic Charlie, Celtic Sapphire, Kildare’s Chesca, Foxdales Celtic Charm, Guinness X, Nearly Irish, Irish Jig Dancer, River Dance and of course all the Fernhills and Cooleys. Find your Irish eventer’s name in our St. Patrick’s Day edition of Event Horse Names. Other name trends for the weekend: fancy cars (Ardeo Porsche, Bentley, Lexus, Maserati) and, my personal favorite, (arguably!) bad puns: Maria Franchella‘s Grand Marneigh and Julie Wolfert‘s Iowa Lot Of Money taking the cake!
