Boyd Martin’s dressage test with Neville Bardos at Jersey Fresh a few weeks ago was, for lack of a better word, fresh. The trick with Neville is to find a balance between energy and too much tension. Boyd found just that today here at Bromont and Neville looked on top of his game in the dressage. Ever the resilient horse, Neville has been battling trailer sickness from the ride to Bromont all week, but you would never have known that watching him go to work on the judges today. Boyd was kind enough to speak with me about his tests with Neville, Remington, and his plans for running tomorrow depending on how Neville is feeling. Boyd also mentioned his hopes that the selectors will choose to send all three of his top horses (Nev, Otis, and Remi) to England for the lead up to the Olympics. The interview was all the more fun with Neville’s many syndicate owners looking on and cheering as his score was announced during the interview. Check out Neville’s awesome test:
The rain has officially started at Bromont. Go Neville.
