I’m always delighted to see Caitlin Silliman and Catch A Star out competing, and Friday at Plantation was no exception; they turned in probably one of their best dressage tests yet, and I was lucky enough to meet Caitlin’s mother afterwards. We chatted briefly and she remarked in disbelief that it was just a year ago that Caitlin moved Hoku from the medical facility to the new farm, that Hoku was still on restricted one hour turn-out then, and they were still unsure if she would ever fully recover normally. Fast forward to this weekend and you have to look very closely to see the scars, and, without wanting to write too much for fear of jinxing them, they look like live contenders for a strong finish both here and at Fairhill.

Many thanks to Caitlin for her time, and wishing the very best of luck this weekend and for the rest of the season, and of course with Remington too! Go Eventing!
