“He’s never going to the Olympics, but never sell this horse.” That’s the assessment given to one of the mustangs purchased from a correctional facility training program by David Wilson and Olivia Knott. After acquiring several mustangs from Northern Nevada Correctional Center Wild Horse Training Facility in Carson City, NV, the roundabout journey of David and Olivia now leads them west to the USEA American Eventing Championships this summer at Galway Downs. Read more about these special mustangs here.
For most riders, a win at a competition like VHC Eventing would be thrilling. For James Power and his Connemara, Brambleridge Ponder The Truth, it was something else entirely: a triumph over odds most never face. After a freak accident involving a rusty t-post on a hack, James wasn’t sure his friend would make it to the other side, let alone compete. When they finally did get the green light to get back to showing, there was a never a goal to win. But they did just that — you won’t want to miss the full story here.

We often think of PPID and EMS/ID in terms of laminitis — but the impact goes much further. New research shows these endocrine disorders can affect joints, tendons, exercise tolerance, fertility, and more. It’s a whole-horse issue, not just a hoof one.
At Kentucky Performance Products, we believe in proactive care backed by science. From aging athletes to metabolic-prone ponies, smart nutrition plays a vital role in managing endocrine health and preventing complications before they start.
