Wednesday News & Notes from Haygain

By on Jun 29, 2022 12:01 am -

This training tip posted by the Optimum Youth Equestrian Scholarship page last week got me thinking: one of the greatest skills a horsewoman/horseman can have is that of perception. It might have been Kate Samuels who wrote on this topic at some point, but the ability to understand a horse’s personality and how to adjust your training accordingly vastly outranks only viewing the horse through our own personal judgements and emotions. With these filters removed — effectively removing ourselves from the picture to ponder, “what is it my horse needs right now — for them, not for me?” — it becomes clearer that horses are constantly providing feedback and communication.

Of course, there remains a difference between empathetic listening and failing to establish leadership (and, by association, safety and security for your horse) and set boundaries. In the sweet spot between the two is the space for a true partnership to be built.

By on Jun 28, 2022 4:00 pm -

A dream come true and a world class ride! It's the WINNER of this year's Hickstead Derby – Shane Breen & Can Ya Makan 🏆

There's nothing like winning on home soil – and Shane Breen finally did it 🏆 The Irishman was the ONLY rider who went clear in the iconic course and took the Derby trophy! That's what a world class rider & a world class horse look like. Make sure not to miss the sweet moment at the end between the two – Can Ya Makan getting a well deserved hug 🥰

You could really feel the trust between him and his fantastic ride Can Ya Makan, giving an absolutely legendary performance! And listen to those crowds 🔊

It was such a thrill from start to finish and we couldn't be happier for this well deserved win 🍾 Congratulations The Breen Team 🔥

The Al Shira'aa Hickstead Derby Meeting 2022 is an event like no other and this year's action was extraordinary! Make sure to check out all the highlights on our archive ➡️ watch.clipmyhorse.tv/Hickstead-Derby-2022

Posted by ClipMyHorse.TV Great Britain on Monday, June 27, 2022

That feeling when you’re the only clear round in the Al Shira’aa Hickstead Derby: Irish rider Shane Breen now knows exactly what this feels like, having delivered an impressive clear with the 16-year-old stallion Holsteiner Can Ya Makan.

We love the Hickstead Derby for it’s traditional, cross-country-esque feel and challenging tracks, which this year were designed by Phillip Kelvin Bywater — a second cousin to cross country, we’ll call it!

“When I jumped over the last with Can Ya Makan, something inside of me got quite emotional,” Shane said. “Thankfully, it was my day today. I live here and walk around that showground every day, so it’s nice to know that I had my moment in that arena.”

Relive Shane’s win — his first after nearly two decades of coming tantalizingly close — in the clip above, then head over to ClipMyHorse.TV to rewatch all the Hickstead action.

4 Top Tips for Nailing Your EN Blogger Contest Entry

By on Jun 28, 2022 2:00 pm -

#ICYMI, we’re in the midst of accepting first-round entries for the return of EN’s popular Blogger Contest. This is the ninth edition of the contest, which had been held every year until the pandemic. We’ve sorely missed this contest and are excited to have it back for another year!

Entries are open for this first round until July 8. If you are ready to enter, you can click here to use our entry form, or you can email your submission directly to us at [email protected]. We’re also thrilled to announce that we’ve added a cash prize to this year’s contest: $300 will be awarded to the winner, and two runners-up will each receive $100.

I thought it might be useful to put together a few helpful hints on writing for EN. We don’t take ourselves too seriously here, so neither should you, but some best practices always help bring clarity if you’re on the fence about entering.

1. Showing your creative side is a sure way to get our attention.

If you haven’t noticed, we tend to let our personalities show in our work here at EN. We believe there is a healthy balance between professional work and creative expression, and most of us work here because we wanted to combine our love of the sport with our love of writing. We try to put more “spice” into our reports, and while we don’t always hit the mark we would rather tell the stories than only report the figures.

So, don’t be afraid to send us something wacky or out of left field. Here are a few previous years’ entries to give you an idea of just how out there things can get:

Eventing in the UK vs. the U.S., by Tilly Berendt
Proposed FEI Rule Changes, by Wendy Angel
The ‘EveryMan’s’ Guide to Being a Successful Horse Husband, by Rolex Husband
The Second Horse Itch, by Maggie Deatrick
USEA and FEI Partner to Design Fully Inflatable Cross Country Courses, by Sally Spickard

2. When in doubt, tell us a story (or make one up — we don’t know the difference!).

If you’re a writer at all, you know exactly how it feels to carve out some precious time to put some words on paper/screen…only to find that every ounce of creativity you thought you were in possession of has suddenly decided to pop out for a beer. Or, on the other side of the fence, you have too many ideas swirling about at once in your head, making it difficult to sort through and find the best one to focus on.

But I bet you have a few good stories in there, just waiting to be told. Maybe it’s the story of what gave you the “eventing bug” or the first time you jumped a cross country jump. Maybe you took a trip to Kentucky and left a lifelong eventing fan. Or maybe you made a complete fool out of yourself waiting in line for Michael Jung’s autograph and can never set foot in the Kentucky Horse Park again. Whatever your story may be, we want to read about it!

3. Don’t feel pressured to “know” a ton about the sport.

Yes, we want you to be an eventing fan and know the ins and outs of the sport, but we don’t expect you to have an eventing encyclopedia stored away in your brain. All of us here have grown our knowledge of and network within the sport organically over time, and you will too! All you need — just as with any good horse with potential — is a desire to be here, and the rest will take care of itself.

4. Be individual. The sport is better for it!

We talk often about embracing diversity in equestrian sport — the backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives of riders are richly unique. We are not all cut from the same cloth. In seeing ourselves represented in others, in the public space, we create a world that’s more welcoming to those who hesitate to dip a toe in. We recognize that the onus remains on us to be better in everything that we do, and we want to give voice to all experiences here on EN. We encourage you to also be your most authentic self in your entries.

Your first round entry can be focused on any eventing-related topic you prefer! From that point on, finalists will be moved forward to Round 2, for which you’ll be given a writing prompt. The third final round will be a creative challenge yet to be announced.

Where Are They Now? From the Cross Country Course, to the Hunter Ring, to the Breyer Store

While we love following horses at the height of their eventing careers, what we love even more is seeing them thrive as they continue to move through life thanks to the understanding of caretakers that sometimes one job isn’t the best fit. Event horses have found ongoing success in many aspects of equestrian sport, and today we’re catching up with former Heather Morris ride, Get Rowdy (Baltic VDL – Z. Unellie), a 12-year-old KWPN gelding who competed through the Intermediate 3* level until about 2017.

Heather Morris and Get Rowdy. Photo by Sally Spickard.

Get Rowdy was named the 2016 USEA Preliminary Horse of the Year, never finishing lower than fifth in ten starts at the level or then-CCI1* that year. But speed would prove to be the limiting factor as Heather eyed the upper levels of eventing; this eventually prompted her to send the gelding to well-respected hunter/jumper trainer Archie Cox in the Los Angeles area.

Karli Postel & Get Rowdy

Posted by Sonoma Horse Park on Friday, August 2, 2019

“Rowdy” would eventually make his home in the hunter ring, owned by Teton Farms LLC and moving up the ranks to eventually be named USEF High Performance Hunter Grand Champion in 2019 with rider Karli Postel. He’s also played professor to up and coming riders such as Kyra Russell and most recently was cleaning up at Thermal with pro rider Jamie Sailor.

Now, one of the ultimate honors for a horse has been given to Get Rowdy, who’s well-known for his snuggly nature and “go with the flow” attitude: he’s been made into a Breyer model.

A well-deserved honor for a perfect stamp of a horse of a lifetime. The Get Rowdy Breyer will be ready to ship in July, and you can keep an eye out for stock updates here.

A long career (and, more importantly, a long and healthy life) is always a goal for our horses. Ask your veterinarian about Zoetis’ line-up of health support options that can help support your horse for a long-lasting and comfortable career and life.

Montana Beckons: Rebecca Farm Entry Preview Ahead of July International

By on Jun 28, 2022 9:30 am -

It’s that time of year to be craving fresh mountain air and booking your travel to beautiful Kalispell, Montana for this year’s running of The Event at Rebecca Farm. Also hosting the USEA American Eventing Championships this year, over Labor Day weekend, the Montana venue is one of the most beloved for diehard eventers, firmly stamping its spot on bucket lists all over the country as THE event to visit at least once in your life. This year’s event will run July 20-24.

The headlining CCI4*-L division will feature 12 horses and riders as of now (entries close next week, on July 5), including:

  • James and Helen Alliston will compete three horses between them, including the 8-year-old Nemesis, who was a surprise third in the Lexington 4*-S in April
  • A handful of East coast representatives have booked their tickets to Montana: Lucienne Bellissimo will bring Atlantic Vital Spark, as will Allie Knowles and Business Class, Alyssa Phillips and Oskar, and Chris Talley with his OTTB, Unmarked Bills, doing his first Long event since Burghley in 2019
  • Tamie Smith has what might be considered to be a “light” weekend in the 4*-L with just one horse entered to date: the Elliot V Partnership’s Elliot V, who will look for his first completion at the level after an early ending truncated his debut at Galway last year

Ocala Horse Properties stepped up to provide two Rebecca Farm Flight Grants this year, awarding free transport out to Montana to Allie Knowles in the 4*-L and Brittany Crandell in the 3*-L — we’ll be catching up with these two as they prep for their travels, so stay tuned for more!

If you’re attending Rebecca Farm this year in any capacity, there are ample opportunities to volunteer and it’s always useful to sign up early for what you know you might want to do. Click here for more information on volunteering. If you’re in the mood for a premier experience, you can also purchase a Patron Package to take in the event with more perks, and donations for these packages are put to support Halt Cancer at X.

You can also follow Rebecca Farm on Instagram for more updates. We’re looking forward to bringing you much more from Montana, so stay tuned here or on our Facebook and Instagram for the latest!

Who Jumped It Best? Shepherd Ranch Preliminary Weldon’s Wall

By on Jun 25, 2022 10:00 am -

Our latest Who Jumped It Best? recap comes from a very special California event: Shepherd Ranch in Santa Ynez, located just outside of the beautiful mountain town of Solvang. Shepherd Ranch is the home and training base of 5* eventer and certified badass Bunnie Sexton, and together with her family this event has been a mainstay on the Area VI calendar twice a year.

The event has suffered from low entries like many of its counterparts, which threatens the future of competitions at this gorgeous facility. It’s a perfect weekend getaway event: you can traipse into town for some delicious Danish food and culture, or you can simply kick back in your LQ on the grounds and take in the gorgeous sights. The cross country courses at this event are inviting and enjoyable, and it’s the perfect event for producing young horses or inexperienced riders.

In short: it’s everything an eventer could want, and that deserves to be celebrated!

Sherry Stewart dropped us a few shots from the Weldon’s Wall on this year’s Preliminary track, which was designed by Adri Doyal. As usual, use the poll below to vote for the pair you believe presents the best overall picture of harmony.

As always, #goeventing!

#goeventing at Area IV’s Queeny Park Horse Trials

By on Jun 24, 2022 9:00 am -

While we focus much of our attention on major international events here at EN, we also love to pay homage to local events all around the country through the lens of the hardworking show photographers. This new #goeventing photo recap comes to us from St. Louis, MO, where the staple Queeny Park H.T. ran earlier this month. This event welcomes events from all over Area IV, its unique cross country in a public park setting drawing entries for years on end.

Fun fact: this was my home event growing up — I actually grew up riding at the barn directly across from the barn, formerly known as Town & Country Equestrian Center. Ah, the golden days.

This year’s official photographer for Queeny Park was Jamie Sweet, who has graciously shared a few of her favorite shots from the weekend with us. If you competed at Queeny Park, be sure to check out your own photos and order from Jamie here. You can also give Jamie a follow on Facebook and Instagram to keep up with her work.

Do you want to showcase your local event? Tip us at [email protected]!

#OlympicDay Video from Kentucky Performance Products: How Julia Krajewski and Amande de B’Neville Train at Home

By on Jun 23, 2022 4:00 pm -

“She certainly isn’t a horse that lacks motivation,” Julia Krajewski describes her Tokyo gold medal-winning partner, the now 12-year-old Selle Francais mare by Oscar des Fontaines, Amande de B’Neville. Earlier this year, a production team from CHIO Aachen had the opportunity to visit Julia’s home training base out of Warendorf in northwest Germany.

Julia explains that she does much of her dressage training out in the field, as it helps her both mentally as well as physically to get stronger. She’ll travel to a nearby mountain for canter work and also has cross country schooling on her home property.

In addition to winning gold medals, Julia’s also a well-loved coach, using this side of her business to supplement her riding career. “I think schooling horses as a whole, and developing horses, is the reason why I do my job,” she explained.

Julia also takes a moment to talk through some tips, such as what to do to keep your nerves and adrenaline in check. “One at least has to be able to deal with [nerves or adrenaline] so that one may can carry on functioning efficiently,” Julia said. “It always helps me incredibly to have a plan. In other words, to know that I am really prepared. That happens when I write down what the horses are doing tomorrow, what time I will ride, when their manes are plaited, when to walk the course, and so on.”

“The best example is Tokyo,” she continued. “I really didn’t imagine what it would be like to pick up time faults in the jumping, but instead how cool it would be to stand on the winner’s [podium]. Of course, one has to somehow think about it in advance. What can’t, or rather everything that could happen. But then thinking about the whole thing positively, if everything goes right and not to have too many doubts about everything that could go wrong.”

There’s much, much more to learn from Julia in the awesome video above. The video is in German, but it is subtitled in English. Enjoy, then tune in next weekend for the return of Julia and “Many” at CHIO Aachen, representing Germany once again.

Simply put, horses need energy.

Energy is traditionally supplied by cereal grains such as oats, corn, and barley. These feedstuffs deliver energy as carbohydrates or starch. But what if you want to supply more energy to your horse without increasing the feed intake? Feeding a fat supplement is an excellent way to achieve this.

Fat is considered a source of “calm” energy and is thought to modify behavior in some horses, making them more tractable. This, in turn, allows horses to focus their energy on work rather than nervousness.

Ever dreamed of chasing your favorite horses and riders around the globe? Writing stories about the sport you call home? Testing our your creative chops in the equine media industry? Have you entered our 9th Blogger Contest yet? We can’t wait to see the entries this year — we’ve already gotten some great ones! More info on how to enter and what we’re looking for here. And be sure to follow our Instagram story beginning today for takeovers from our team members — today’s will be a real treat as Tilly Berendt takes over, answering all your questions on the gig!

Temperatures are rising, which means it’s time to start thinking about when the conditions might be too dangerous to ride. Heat stroke is a real issue for horses, so it’s proper horsemanship to look after them proactively when the weather gets too hot. These tips from Kentucky Performance Products are really useful to have handy.

I think I’ve found my new best friend: Abby F. told the USEA her pre-cross country ritual is to “listen to ‘I’ll Make a Man Out of You’ from Mulan on repeat an unhealthy amount of times.” More pre-ride habits here — some of them are very relatable!

Tuesday Video Break: Felix Vogg Debriefs on His Luhmühlen Win

By on Jun 21, 2022 4:30 pm -

“It’s absolutely crazy — crazy, crazy crazy.”

Those are the words Swiss Olympian Felix Vogg uses to describe his first reaction to winning a 5* for his country — the first Swiss win of its kind since 1951, to be specific.

Felix might be tapping his 2021 European Championship partner and original Tokyo horse, the 11-year-old mare Cartania, for Worlds this fall, but this win gives him a boost as he now moves ahead to Aachen in Germany and, with any hope, a berth on the burgeoning Swiss team come September.

Hear from Felix after his clear show jumping that sealed the deal, then head over to our coverage of Luhmühlen to catch up on anything you may have missed!

Home Team Germany Names Pairs for CHIO Aachen CCIO4*-S

By on Jun 21, 2022 2:00 pm -

We’re eagerly anticipating a return to the popular World Equestrian Festial at CHIO Aachen in Germany, happening Friday, June 24 through Sunday, July 3. Eventing is a staple part of the program at Aachen, which hosts an intense 4*-S as an FEI Nations Cup competition leg. With the FEI World Championships also on the table in September, this event marks one of the later events during which a rider can make a strong case for team or individual berth selection.

Host nation Germany has announced its team for CHIO Aachen, and it’s a star-studded line-up indeed. Representing Germany on the Nations Cup team will be reigning Olympic gold medalists Julia Krajewski and Amande de B’Neville, Ingrid Klimke and EQUESTRO’s Siena Just Do It, and Michael Jung with Kilcandra Ocean Power.

Representing as individual combinations will be fan-favorite Anna Siemer with FRH Butts Avondale, Andreas Dibowski with Brennus, Arne Bergendahl and Checkovich, Sophie Leube and Jadore Moi, Jan Mathias and Granulin, and 2022 Kentucky winners Michael Jung and fischerChipmunk FRH.

It’s highly anticipated that fischerChipmunk FRH has all but stamped his ticket to Pratoni with his Kentucky win, so the 14-year-old gelding will compete at Aachen under less pressure. “In consultation with Michael, we decided that Chipmunk will have his next season highlight at the World Championships in September,” German national coach Peter Thomsen said (translated from German).

“Because he passed the five-star exam in Kentucky at the end of April, he now had a longer regeneration break and is not yet back at the highest training level. We’ll need that later in the year, so he’ll go to Aachen now and then the last sighting in Haras du Pin in August. With Kilcandra Ocean Power, Michael also has a horse who was second most recently in Baborowko and who he can also ride fast for the team.”

Eventing will take place at Aachen from July 1-3 and will be broadcast live on ClipMyHorse.TV.

Who Jumped It Best? MARS Bromont CCI3*-L

By on Jun 21, 2022 11:30 am -

It’s high time for a slightly belated new edition of Who Jumped It Best? This round comes from north of the border, where riders competed at the MARS Bromont International earlier this month for the first time since 2019. Joan Davis of Flatlandsfoto was on the ground for EN that weekend and sent us a few of her best shots from the 3*-L for your voting.

You know the drill: use the poll at the bottom of this post to select the pair you feel presents the best overall picture. Good luck to all!

Luhmühlen Through the Lens: A 5* Photo Recap

By on Jun 20, 2022 10:00 am -

One of the best ways to relive an event (besides rewatching the live stream, of course) is to flip through the photos. While everyone and their second cousin seems to own a “fancy” camera these days, there is only so much that equipment will achieve without skill. We’re beyond lucky to work with exceptional photographers here at EN, and we feel that the artistic element of their work helps bring the sport to life that much more. Through the lenses of the likes of Tilly Berendt and Shannon Brinkman — two of the best in the business, but we might be just a little biased! — the sport takes on new life, and the passion, grit, and determination required to eke out success draws the focus.

We’ve collected a few of our favorite shots from the German 5* installment at Luhmühlen this weekend and hope you enjoy. Want to support photographers like Tilly and Shannon? You can view show galleries from Shannon Brinkman here and if you have interest in hiring Tilly for photography work, you can contact her via email here.

Monday News & Notes from Futuretrack

By on Jun 20, 2022 12:01 am -

I was perusing the #goeventing hashtag on Instagram this weekend and stumbled upon this awesome show of Pride at Shepherd Ranch! Pride month and other awareness and visibility months serve, among many, one major purpose: to help someone who feels invisible, unseen, unheard, excluded, or otherwise downtrodden because of who they are feel a little bit less alone. If one person saw a display such as the above and felt more comfortable in their skin, then I’ll call that mission accomplished.

It’s always a bit disorienting coming back “to the office” after a 5* weekend (and I’m not even the one globetrotting — Tilly, I hope you’re getting some good sleep right about now). I’m not sure if it’s the time difference, the constant anxiety that comes with score-stalking, or just the fever dream that is any 5* event, but I always feel like I need a minute to readjust to the “real world” where eventing is only a tiny piece of the pie.

All of that to say that covering these events, both remotely and on the ground, tends to consume our lives on big weekends such as this. My hat is forever off to Tilly, our UK-based reporter and editor who has a ridiculous eye behind the camera and an even more ridiculous penchant for words. If you missed any of our coverage from Luhmühlen this weekend, you won’t want to go without any longer: you can catch up on everything here.

Longines Luhmühlen CCI5* Cross Country Live Updates

By on Jun 18, 2022 3:13 am -

Fence seven, the colourful bird that made itself so famous at the 2019 European Championships.

Welcome to cross country day at the Longines Luhmühlen 5*! I always love watching Luhmühlen cross country — to this point in the season, our 5* events have been the big, bold, beefy type. This German event has a slightly different flavor and feel. It’s one of my favorites to watch, and you can follow along with me live with your H&C+ subscription here. If you’re unable to watch live because you’re, you know, the type of human who prefers to sleep through the night, replays are typically available within a day or two on H&C+ so you can catch up at your leisure.

In the meantime, I’ll be providing some play-by-play here on this post all morning, beginning with the 5*. Refresh this page periodically for more updates. I’ve listed a few notable times to keep handy below. You can find the full cross country order for this division here.

4:02 a.m. EST / 10:02 a.m. CEST: Bubby Upton & Cannavaro (1st) – Eliminated

4:30 a.m. EST /10:30 a.m. CEST: Lauren Nicholson & Vermiculus (2nd) – CLEAR, 5.2 time

4:58 a.m. EST / 10:58 a.m. CEST: Matt Flynn & Wizzerd (16th) – 20 jumping, 19.6 time

5:26 a.m. EST / 11:26 a.m. CEST: Liz Halliday-Sharp & Cooley Quicksilver (5th) – CLEAR, 6.0 time

5:30 a.m. EST / 11:30 a.m. CEST: Karl Slezak & Fernhill Wishes (24th) – CLEAR, 19.6 time

5:34 a.m. EST / 11:34 a.m. CEST: Felix Vogg & Colero (4th) – CLEAR inside the time

5:50 a.m. EST / 11:50 a.m. CEST: Tim Price & Vitali (3rd) – CLEAR with .4 time

Our first horse on course will be Tom McEwen with Braveheart B, 15th currently on a score of 31.6, coming out at 9:30 a.m. local time / 3:30 a.m. EST.

You can view a map of this year’s 5* track, designed by Mike Etherington-Smith, here.

As always, a major thank you to our supporters at Kentucky Performance Products for helping us bring you this coverage! Be sure to check out their research-backed line of nutritional support products here.

6:10 a.m. ET: So here’s your final leaderboard following cross country here at Luhmühlen. We’ll have two U.S. riders in the top 10 ahead of tomorrow, and don’t forget there’s still the 4*-S cross country to come, where we’ll see if Will Coleman and Chin Tonic HS can keep their lead. That’ll be live on H&C+ next here. First horse will be out on course in about an hour, at 1:06 p.m. CEST / 7:06 a.m. EST. You can view the full starting order for the 4*-S here.

6:09 a.m. ET: Oliver Townend is going to be inside the time in his first 5* with Dreamliner — he’s well inside so he can take the pressure off for the final fence. That’s two successful debuts for Oliver today, nicely done. This pair will be third overnight on 29.6 penalties.

6:03 a.m. ET: Sticky through the water at 13 for Oliver and Dreamliner, who are the final pair on course now. Meanwhile, David Doel is heading home. We’ve just seen Cathal’s fall and the frangible device at fence 3 certainly did it’s job here as the pair found a bad distance and couldn’t quite make the top of the fence. We’re glad they both appear to be fine. David Doel comes home inside the time with Ferro Point.

6:01 a.m. ET: Colero and Felix Vogg will be the overnight leaders after Tim Price picks up that pesky extra second he couldn’t afford with Vitali. Nothing to sneeze at though, as Vitali will be second overnight. Oliver Townend is back with us now aboard Dreamliner, a Jumbo son making his 5* debut. Cathal Daniels is listed with a horse fall at fence 3 with the final horse to go, LEB Lias Jewel.

5:57 a.m. ET PSA folks, please please please keep your dogs under control at these events — or leave them at home. Evidently, according to Spencer Sturmey on the live stream a loose dog is what might have spooked Bob Chaplin sideways, prompting the reaction we saw on camera.

5:54 a.m. ET: Oh no, Tom is going to end his weekend early here with Bob Chaplin, falling at the corner at fence 29A. He throws his arms up in frustration as he gets up, seems to be directed at something or someone in particular? Unsure. They both seem unhurt; Bob Chaplin appeared to jump the wider part of the corner and couldn’t make the landing.

5:51 a.m. ET: Now on course are Tokyo partners Tim Price and Vitali, the last remaining threat to take over the lead should they go inside the time. Tim has about four seconds of time to spare if he wants to stay ahead of Felix Vogg. As much experience as the 12-year-old Vitali has now, this is actually his first 5* cross country.

5:49 a.m. ET: Solo hands a knee at the second last combination, the rail/ditch/rail coffin complex, but both he and Hollie Swain sit tight and make it work on the way out.

5:47 a.m. ET: Very green through the second water for the 5* first-timer Bob Chaplin but Tom gets him through.

GIF via H&C+.

5:44 a.m. ET: Tom McEwen joins us again with Bob Chaplin, who survives a hairy moment at the impressive first fence. Tom loses a stirrup but they’re through. Meanwhile Felix is well inside the time and will go into the lead. Only Tim Price and Vitali can overtake him — they’ll be next to see. Nicely done, Felix! A look at this pair through the penultimate combination:

GIF via H&C+.

5:41 a.m. ET: Clever footwork for Colero though the double corner combination near the end of the course. Karl is home — he’s done it! They’re about 50 seconds over time.

GIF via H&C+.

5:39 a.m. ET: Colero is such a fun horse to watch, and his partnership with Felix allows him to be bold, quick-thinking and brave. Karl Slezak is clear through the final water.

5:37 a.m. ET: Not sure if Philippa Cross is eliminated or retired — scores are showing such but she’s just finished. Liz is home clear but has 15 seconds of time, so she won’t top the board overnight. She drops into seventh currently.

5:36 a.m. ET: Clear through the water at 13 for Karl and Fernhill Wishes. Colero is very keen at the first water.

5:34 a.m. ET: Swiss Olympian Felix Vogg is the latest on course with Colero, another threat to the top of the board. Meanwhile Liz is through the final water at 21.

5:33 a.m. ET: Karl is clear through the main arena questions.

5:33 a.m. ET: Karl Slezak now on course for Canada with Fernhill Wishes, re-routing from Badminton.

5:31 a.m. ET A couple issues now at the skinny arrowhead into the water at 18, the latest coming for Philippa Cross and Scoop de Ferbet. It looks like they might be letting Liz overtake Philippa here. Liz has a great shot through the water at 13. A look at her through the upright gates at 11 earlier on:

GIF via H&C+.

5:30 a.m. ET: Liz goes for it in the main arena and Cooley Quicksilver responds beautifully.

5:27 a.m. ET: Next out are Liz Halliday-Sharp with Cooley Quicksilver, owned by The Monster Partnership consisting of Ocala Horse Properties, Renee Lane, and Deborah Halliday. This is another pair threatening to take the lead with a clear and fast round; they’re currently on a score of 29.1.

5:25 a.m. ET: Britain’s Philippa Cross and Scoop de Ferbet grind to a halt at the B element of the first water after a gigantic jump in. Peter Flarup and Fascination have a pin at the corner at 16 and then run into trouble later on at 18 — he’s retired here.

An unfortunate late MIM activation for Peter Flarup. GIF via H&C+.

5:22 a.m. ET: Now joining us are Danish pair Peter Flarup and Fascination, another Tokyo combination. Meanwhile I see that the Italian rider Giulio Guglielmi has fallen with Uhlan de l’Epine at fence 15.

5:20 a.m. ET: Uhlan de l’Epine has a huge jump into the second part of the water at 11 and the pair was then too unorganized to make it to the final element. They’re clear on their second attempt.

GIF via H&C+.

5:19 a.m. ET: Michael Ryan, who fell with his first ride and looked to be holding his elbow or arm/shoulder, has withdrawn his second ride, TR Kaygraff.

5:16 a.m. ET: Now on course are Italy’s Giulio Guglielmi making his 5* debut aboard the 14-year-old Selle Francais Uhlan de l’Epine. Fun fact, this horse was previously campaigned by Canadian husband-wife duo Lindsay and Xavier Traisnel.

5:13 a.m. ET: Matt is going to be well over time but he’s had a smooth round on this back half of the course. It looks like Wizzerd might have bitten his lip or tongue.

5:11 a.m. ET: We’re also joined now by Sweden’s Niklas Lindbäck and Focus Filiocus.

5:09 a.m. ET: One second and into third for Jonelle and Faerie Dianimo! Meanwhile our sole German rider in this class, Sophie Leube with Jadore Moi, have no brakes in the first water and sadly have retired early on.

GIF via H&C+.

5:08 a.m. ET: Now we catch up with Matt at the water at 13, and it does look like Wizzerd has some blood in his mouth.

5:06 a.m. ET: We haven’t seen Matt Flynn on the live stream yet, but he is showing up with one refusal at fence 4, the table ahead of the first water. Meanwhile Jonelle is clear still and on her way home.

5:01 a.m. ET: Our next U.S. rider will be next to go: Matt Flynn and Wizzerd come forward after re-routing from Badminton on a dressage mark of 33.4.

5:00 a.m. ET: Expertly through the first water are Jonelle and Faerie Dianimo.

4:56 a.m. ET: Next out we’ll see a former winner, New Zealand’s Jonelle Price with the 17-year-old British mare Faerie Dianimo. This pair won here in 2018 and came back in 2021 but had an unusual fall at a gallop fence. Meanwhile, Kylie Roddy and SRS Kan Do stop the clock with 11 seconds to spare and now go into second behind Kirsty Chabert. Lauren Nicholson now moves into third.

4:54 a.m. ET: Victoria Scott-Legendre is home with 6 seconds of time. We’re also joined by Felicity Ward and Regal Bounty. This Irish pair is another making their debut at this level. And British rider Fiona Kashel is also away with the debutant horse WSF Carthago.

4:50 a.m. ET: Kirsty Chabert stops the clock inside the time and will now overtake Lauren for the top of the board, remaining on her dressage mark of 31.1.

GIF via H&C+.

4:47 a.m. ET: Catching up here, South African Olympian Victoria Scott-Legendre and Valtho des Peupliers are clear through the water at 13 with a very bold stride left out at the final element. Kirsty Chabert is clear through the penultimate combination. British rider Kylie Roddy and SRS Kan Do, also re-routing from Badminton, are also on course and clear so far.

4:46 a.m. ET: Lauren stops the clock 13 seconds over time — this may well open the door for another pair to go quicker and take that lead away but what a positive ride from this pair. She’ll likely be kicking herself about those 5 or so time penalties, but what a round.

GIF via H&C+.

4:45 a.m. ET: We’re through the coffin! She’s got about 40 seconds to get home..

4:43 a.m. ET: Bug trots a step in the final water but he shows his experience and scope to get safely through with no issues.

4:41 a.m. ET: We’re now joined by a Badminton re-route in British rider Kirsty Chabert with Classic VI.

4:39 a.m. ET: Lauren has one of the best rides through the upright gates at 11, getting positively to a deep distance. He stands a bit off the last element of the water at 13 but it’s just another day at the office for this handy little Anglo-Arab. Interestingly, he also has a bit of a trip step at the bottom of the bank at 15 but he finds his feet and never loses his line.

GIF via H&C+.

4:38 a.m. ET: A lovely positive trip through the main arena question now. It’s nice to have Lauren on course nearly alone at the moment — we’re getting a good view! Alex Donohoe is further ahead, safely through the coffin complex just a few from home.

4:37 a.m. ET: Very handy through the first water at 5 for Lauren and Vermiculus.

4:36 a.m. ET: Here’s Lauren over the first fence:

GIF via H&C+.

4:35 a.m. ET: Danielle Dunn and Grandslam come to grief again at the corner in the main arena and have sadly ended their day early.

4:34 a.m. ET: Here we go! Lauren and Bug on course!

4:33 a.m. ET: On course now are British pair Danielle Dunn with the 17-year-old Grandslam – they have one refusal at the first water that we didn’t see but are clear on the second attempt. Meanwhile, Aistis Vitkauskas and Commander VG come home inside the time!

4:29 a.m. ET: We’re one away from our first U.S. rider, Lauren Nicholson and Vermiculus, who now find themselves with a lead to defend after the untimely end for Bubby Upton.

4:28 a.m. ET: Now another rider for Ireland, Alex Donohoe and Guidam Roller, making their 5* debut this weekend as well.

4:26 a.m. ET: Another horse looking stronger and more confident as he’s gone is Cupido P, who is safely home now about a minute over with Austria’s Lea Siegl.

4:24 a.m. ET: We’re also now joined by Lithuanian rider Aistis Vitkauskas and Commander VG.

4:22 a.m. ET: Sarah Dowley and Rubix Cube finish safely! A well-deserved celebration at the finish:

GIF via H&C+.

4:21 a.m. ET: British rider Max Gordon is our newest on course, making his 5* debut alongside Redwood Clover, a 13-year-old Irish gelding.

4:19 a.m. ET Rubix Kube is looking a little tired toward the end, as Sarah pulls out for the longer route at the coffin complex. They’re nearly home!

4:17 a.m. ET: Now we have Lea Siegl for Austria piloting Cupido P and jumps the wrong side of the flag at the first water but is clear on second attempt.

GIF via H&C+.

4:16 a.m. ET: Crap! Bubby has a very bad jump into 16 and then comes to grief as she and Cannavaro both crumble on landing from the bank. Thankfully they’re both right up and look to be ok but that’s a gutting end for this pair.

4:14 a.m. ET: Cathal Daniels stops the clock exactly on the optimum time of 11 minutes! Bubby is clear through the second water at 13, surviving a very big jump at the drop in the middle.

4:12 a.m. ET: Bubby is clear through the first water at 5. Meanwhile it looks like Sarah Dowley had one refusal at the C element of the water at 13.

4:10 a.m. ET: Our overnight leaders, Britain’s Bubby Upton and Cannavaro, are away! Bubby is looking for a first 5* cross country completion with this 15-year-old; they started Pau in 2021 but retired on course.

4:08 a.m. ET: Next away are Ireland’s Sarah Dowley with Rubix Kube, her 18-year-old partner of many years, making her second 5* start and looking for her first completion. Meanwhile, Oliver and Lukas come home clear INSIDE the time — very impressive for this debut. Oliver rode gritty the whole way around but the horse responded well and kept his gallop to the end.

4:07 a.m. ET: Cathal and Rioghan Rua are straight as an arrow through the water at 13.

4:06 a.m. ET: Here’s a look at the question Michael Ryan came to grief at earlier, ridden by Oliver and Lukas:

GIF via H&C+.

4:04 a.m. ET: Rioghan Rua gets a bit hung up in the final brush out of the first water but leaves that safely behind.

4:03 a.m. ET: Now away is the first very experienced pair this morning: Ireland’s Cathal Daniels with the little red Corvette, Rioghan Rua. Oliver is clear through the water at 13.

4:01 a.m. ET: A cute Team Price moment at the finish:

GIF via H&C+.

3:59 a.m. ET: Oliver Townend is away now with another debutant, the 11-year-old Lukas. It looks like David Doel has retired Dunges Dom Perignon after two runouts at the 8C in the main arena. Tim is home clear with Spartaco, a time of 11:21 total. That’s 21 seconds of time but he’ll be absolutely thrilled with this first-time effort from Spartaco.

3:57 a.m. ET: David Doel survives a huge flyer at a corner in the main arena. Meanwhile, Tim is nearly home and we haven’t seen anyone finish yet so we’ll get our first glimpse at the time here shortly.

3:56 a.m. ET: Hey, I made a GIF!

GIF v ia H&C+.

3:55 a.m. ET: There is just something so cool about seeing a 5* horse become, well, a 5* horse and that’s what we’re seeing here as Spartaco is attacking each question with increasing confidence — they’re clear through fence 23. David Doel now joins us on course.

3:53 a.m. ET: And it looks like Tim is getting back underway after this hold, presumably for fence repair at the corner Michael fell at.

3:50 a.m. ET: David Doel, currently held at the start, will be the next to see with Dunges Don Perignon, a 12-year-old British-bred horse who made his debut at this level here last year but ended his weekend early with a couple of problems on cross country. Also, I apologize that I’m not very GIF-heavy this morning; my program that I usually use is being a little temperamental! You can get the full experience on the H&C+ live stream here.

3:49 a.m. ET: We’ll now go onto a hold while the medics check on Michael Ryan. We didn’t see the fall but now we see a shot of Michael being helped off, perhaps with a dislocated shoulder.

3:47 a.m. ET: Spartaco is much bolder through the second water at 13. We also see Barnahown Corn Hill being led off which is a good sight to see.

3:45 a.m. ET: Spartaco needs a second to read the first water but they’re clear and have now made their way to the main arena questions at 7,8 and 9. Now we are seeing a fall for Michael and Barnahown Corn Hill at 16C, a left-handed corner following a drop as shown here:

Competitors navigate a big, brush-topped drop to a corner at 16bc.

3:42 a.m. ET: Next to see will be New Zealand’s Tim Price on his first of two rides, Spartaco — yet another 5* debutant at the age of 11. This pair is currently in 13th on a score of 31.4. Meanwhile, Michael is to the second water, where there’s much to do as per usual.

Fence 13a has a new look this year and ushers competitors into the Meßmer water…

3:42 a.m. ET: Michael is clear and positive through the questions in the main arena, which are set on a sweeping right-handed circle that spins you around and back out the gate.

3:37 a.m. ET: We get a shot of Tom leading Braveheart B now, we’re glad to see they are both ok. We’ll next see Irish rider Michael Ryan on Barnahown Corn Hill, an 11-year-old also making his 5* debut this weekend. They’re currently in 27th on a score of 38.5.

3:37 a.m. ET: The fence Tom and Braveheart B appear to have fell at is the second of a pair of upright gates:

…and 11b and c come up quickly, requiring a tidy, well-thought-out approach.

3:35 a.m. ET: Oh no – fence analysis is showing a horse fall at fence 11B.

3:34 a.m. ET: Here’s a look at the track, which isn’t too different from its 2021 predecessor:

3:32 a.m. ET Tom and Braveheart B are cleverly through the first water, Tom showing all his expertise to properly set the horse up to read the questions ahead.

3:30 a.m. ET: Let’s get this party started! Tom McEwen and Braveheart B will be our first of the morning. This 12-year-old Irish gelding is making his 5* debut this weekend, making the task of trailblazer that much more of an ask, so expect Tom to be looking for a positive experience above all as the first out.

Nicola Wilson Shares an Update on Her Recovery

We were pleased to see British rider Nicola Wilson share a video update with her supporters from the spinal rehabilitation unit she’s currently calling home at James Cook University Hospital in Middlesborough, United Kingdom. The 2019 European champion suffered a crashing fall near the end of cross country at Badminton in May; her horse, JL Dublin, was unhurt in the fall.

“My right hand is getting so much better,” Nicola said, giving a wave to the camera. “And my left arm is slowly improving also. So I think I’m on a long road, but I think there is light at the end of the tunnel.”

One of Nicola’s up-and-coming talents, Coolparks Sarco, was recently sent to fellow Brit Piggy March to compete at the Bramham CCI4*-L last weekend (the pair had one blip on cross country but otherwise put in a solid effort this early on in their partnership). While Nicola says returning to the top level of the sport might not be the outcome, she plans to be involved with the sport however she can.

“I can’t wait to get strong enough and get out of here,” Nicola said. “Thank you so much for all your encouragement to date…I have to say, it’s been very, very kindly received.”

At last official update, Nicola’s team says she will likely be in this rehabilitation center for about three months. We’re pulling hard for Nicola as she continues to progress with her recovery.

I’ve had lots of lovely visitors, and as well as family and friends, Tina Cook, Sarah & Brett Bullimore, Lucinda Green, Pippa Funnell, William Fox-Pitt, Dickie, team vet Liz and Piggy came up from Bramham last week which really was so nice. Sadly I didn’t take any photos so I pinched this one from Pip! Lucinda Green painted my toes to cheer me up when I see them and to remind me of her! Well done Piggy and Jeremy, I thought they looked fabulous – and what a great start to their partnership! There’s a little video message at the end of this video with a progress report. Thanks Laura for saving the day on the technology front to enable this update to get to you! Thanks again to everyone who’s sent messages, called and sent gifts. Sorry if I haven’t managed to get back to you but thank you thank you thank you. I can’t tell you how uplifting it is to get post everyday. You are all so so kind. Xxx

Horseware Video Break: The Cross Country We REALLY Came to See at Luhmühlen

By on Jun 16, 2022 4:30 pm -

We might be distracted by shiny 5* horses and their dapper riders…but let’s be honest, the real cross country action at Longines Luhmühlen, the spring’s German 5* event, happened today during the dressage break.

Leadline cross country is the name of the game as the kids and ponies took to some miniaturized “jumps” in front of the home crowd:

Just a Few Cool Items Up for Grabs in Canada’s Pratoni, Let’s Go! Online Auction

By on Jun 16, 2022 11:00 am -

The Canadian High Performance Advisory Group, a recently-formed task force for Equestrian Canada, is spearheading a fundraising effort to the tune of $250,000 to propel the federation forward towards this fall’s FEI World Championships. Aided by a significant $100,000 donation from Kelly McCarthy-Maine and Shane Maine, the fundraiser now moves to its next phase: an online auction that will begin on Friday, June 17.

If you want to bid on some cool items and opportunities, you can join the auction Facebook group here (note: the group will remain in “preview” mode until bidding opens). The group is also seeking donations still — you can reach out to admin Kathleen Wilson if you’d like to donate an item/service.

We took a peek through the offerings for the auction and picked out a few exciting and unique opportunities we’d definitely like to bid on:

In addition to these rider-specific opportunities, there are also some great items (a Tipperary cross country vest, a D’yon bridle, and much more), services (equine massage, BEMER sessions, weight-loss support, etc.), and show/schooling passes (and even tickets to a soccer game!) to have a look at, with more to be added.

Wednesday News & Notes from Haygain

By on Jun 15, 2022 12:01 am -

A massive congratulations is in order for Rómulo Roux, a Panamanian show jumper recently turned eventer, who has just been selected to represent Panama at the 19th Bolivarian Games in Valledupar, Colombia June 24 through July 2. Rómula, who is also the leader of the Panama Democratic Change party, only began eventing this year with this goal in mind, relocating to the U.S. for training with Sara Kozumplik and competition experience. Most recently, Rómulo completed his second FEI event, the CCI2*-L at Virginia Horse Trials with Light Speed Equestrian’s Colenomer.

The eventing portion of the Bolivarian Games is designated as a CCI1*-L event, and there are currently 13 entries representing three different federations set to compete. View the full entry list here and learn more about equestrian at the Bolivarian Games here.
