There ARE other chestnut four star horses! And how on earth did you know it was Burghley?!
It was indeed Shiraz, aka Luke, ridden by Colleen Rutledge.
Many thanks to Claudette Mo who sent in the photo.
Colleen is working hard, both training for Badminton, and raising funds; she’ll be hosting a fundraiser at her farm on Sunday March 18th, and you can find details, as well as lots more on her website.
Colleen was kind enough to give EN a quick update on their progress,
“Everything is going well, we are getting ready to head south to Aiken for a few weeks. Fundraising is going, slowly, but surely. Everyone (especially Luke) is looking forward to getting out XC and while the weather here has been wonderfully mild, we are looking forward to the feel of sandy soil beneath our feet. I’ve been teaching clinics and we are preparing for our fundraiser dinner and silent auction on March 18, in conjunction with a clinic at my farm in MD. Other than that, just having as much fun as I can doing what I love!”
Wishing Colleen the very best of luck with all her spring preparations, and many thanks for the update. Thank you also to Claudette for the picture, and thank you as always for being such good sports and playing along. Go Eventing!
