Catching up with our mother & daughter dream team – Donna and Devon Miller

Definitely one of the best parts of the Francis Whittington Clinic this past weekend at Chattahoochee Hills was spending time with old friends, and making new ones, and so I was delighted when Donna Miller, one half of our mother and daughter dream team, asked if she could come on her stunning Dutch training-level horse, Bono. Donna, who shares the ride with her daughter, Devon, told me the clinic was exactly what Bono needed, and that she had really enjoyed riding with Francis.

 However, the treat was all ours after the clinic had finished for the day on saturday because Donna had also brought her gorgeous Connemara stallion ArdCeltic Art, and Devon’s horse Dan over for a hack, and they came over to the competition complex for a quick visit.

A close friend of mine, Cathy, who was also riding in the clinic, had been interested in Art for sometime, and so Donna suggested she get on and see what he felt like; Donna said she offers anyone who breeds to Art the option to ride him, and if Cathy is any indication, it would seem to be a genius selling point!   

Not only is Art competing at CCI**/Intermediate level eventing, he’s also successful at 4th level dressage, but perhaps even more impressive was his general demeanor – he definitely has presence, but also the sweetest temperament – very patient, very willing, absolutely devoted to Donna, it was a real joy to meet him.  Wishing Donna, Art, Devon and Dan every success in the New Year, and many thanks for chatting. Go Connemaras, and Go Eventing!
