Monday Video from Total Saddle Fit: Up Close and Personal at the Eventing Grand-Prix

Just take a look around at the crowd on cross country day at the inaugural $50,000 LiftMaster Grand-Prix Eventing at Bruce’s Field! While Friday was a foggy, drizzly day for dressage and show jumping, it looks like the spectators showed up in spades for a sunny cross country day on Saturday.

With much of the course in view from the main arena, all the action was very easily accessible to spectators as they lined the ropes eagerly awaiting the next horse to whiz by. With such prime viewing locations available, spectators were able to capture some great up close video. I think I see a couple future eventers getting hooked right then and there!

Scroll down for some great clips captured by attendees and don’t forget that you can watch full replays of the live stream here and catch up on all EN’s coverage using the links below.

I will post more about the competition tomorrow. Thanks to all the organizers, volunteers, sponsors and riders for creating an awesome event!

KER Weekend Winners: Full Gallop, Rocking Horse III, Chatt Hills, Sporting Days, Twin Rivers

Each Monday, “Weekend Winners” recognizes those special moments when hard work pays off in a blue ribbon. It’s an opportunity for our eventing community to celebrate one another’s successes, and enjoy a little moment in the spotlight when we find our own names on the page.

Kentucky Equine Research (KER) knows a little something about getting results. The company’s goals are to advance the industry’s knowledge of equine nutrition and exercise physiology, apply that knowledge to produce healthier, more athletic horses, and support the nutritional care of all horses throughout their life. We are excited to welcome them as the new title sponsor of “Weekend Winners” — we think it’s a fitting match.

This past week saw lots of USEA horse trial action from coast to coast. Aiken alone hosted two horse trials, Full Gallop mid-week and Sporting Days over the weekend, in addition to Grand Prix Eventing at Bruce’s Field (see EN’s coverage here). No rest for the wicked!

Coenzyme Q10 is a powerful antioxidant that improves aerobic energy generation while protecting against exercise-induced muscle damage. New Nano-Q10™ is a rapidly absorbed source of coenzyme Q10 that is three times more bioavailable than the powdered crystalline form. “The ability to quickly bounce back between phases is so important in eventing,” says international rider Liz Halliday-Sharp. “Coenzyme Q10 is a key nutrient for muscle health and recovery. I rely on Nano-Q10 from KER to ensure I’m supporting my winning event horses with the latest in equine nutrition science.” Learn more.

“It’s good for both horses and riders to stare at a sea of poles and then tackle them with confidence” — that’s the impetus behind one of James Alliston’s favorite grid exercises. An added bonus: it’s a good one for working on rider position, too. [Grid Pro Quo with James Alliston]

It’s a twofer Monday for jumping exercises! This one from Blyth Tait challenges the horse’s suppleness and balance, as well as the ability to bend and maintain a rhythm. The goal in using this exercise is to “achieve greater engagement, impulsion, control, rhythm and smoothness” — yes, please! [#SundaySchool: how to improve control with Blyth Tait]

James Alliston & Pandora Top Twin Rivers Advanced

James Alliston and Pandora. Photo by Sherry Stewart.

James Alliston and the powerful Pandora were the big winners on the west coast this weekend as they topped the Advanced division of the Twin Rivers Winter H.T.

The pocket-sized palomino, a 9-year-old Swedish Warmblood owned by Laura Boyer, had the speediest cross country trip of the bunch, finishing just two seconds above optimum time in the horse’s Advanced debut to finish on a score of 43.9.

“I wasn’t really focusing on that (the time), but I was trying to be really positive,” James said. “She’s smaller, so you need a bit of pace to jump those big jumps and do the combinations in the right number of strides, so she’s not the type to jump a big course like that and go quietly. I don’t think she would jump as confidently. I was trying to be positive, and that translates to going fast for her.”

For James, producing a horse through this level relies heavily on their natural talent and will to do the job, and Pandora was certainly up to the challenge.

“I think she’s a real blood type. She has a lot of energy and she gallops well. She likes jumping and gets pretty up for it and is quick and sharp with her legs. Those are a few of her qualities that I saw early on that made me thing she could go up the levels,” he said.

James also found success at the Preliminary level, winning the 24-entry open division with Cassio’s Picasso.

Frankie Thieriot Stutes and Chatwin. Photo by Sherry Stewart.

Our 2018 Fair Hill CCI3* Champions, Frankie Thieriot Stutes and The Chatwin Group’s Chatwin, had their first advanced run of the year to finish in second place. The power couple also proudly produced their best Advanced dressage score: a 21.8, which had them over ten point ahead of the rest of the pack. Frankie then let Chatwin cruise around the cross country, going clear but picking up 28 time penalties for a final score of 46.6.

Leah Breakey and Master Class. Photo by Sherry Stewart.

Leah Breakey ended the weekend in third place with her own Master Class. This pair had one rail and 15.6 cross country time penalties for a final result of 58.5. Mallory Hogan and her Clarissa Purisima were fourth in their debut at the level, and the other two pairs — Robyn Fisher with Betawave and David Koss with Erusa — withdrew before the cross country.

Megan Sykes & Classic’s Mojah. Photo by Sherry Stewart.

Megan Skyes was the big winner of the Open Intermediate division with her own Classic’s Mojah. In their first outing of the year, the pair earned a 25.9 on the flat and had one rail before going clear across country with 14.8 time penalties. Their win rests on a score of 44.7.

Tamie Smith and En Vogue. Photo by Sherry Stewart.

A clear cross country round with 11.6 time penalties gave Tamie Smith and Ruth Bley’s En Vogue a leg up from seventh to second place on a final score of 45.9. Amber Levine and her Cinzano had the fastest cross country round of the group for third place, and Andrea Baxter went fifth aboard her Enfinity.

EN would like to extend a huge thank you to Sherry Stewart for the lovely photos from Twin Rivers.

Honour the Riches. Photo via Sport Horse Nation.

Thoroughbred Event Mare/BN-N Packer

Honour the Riches, aka Bellamy, is a just turning nine-year-old OTTB mare (only raced 3 times all in one day). Bellamy is bay with two socks on both hind legs, 15.3hh, she stands for the farrier (front shoes) can go barefoot (great feet), road hacks, trail rides, can be ridden bridless, gets along with any horse, loads (by herself or with others), can be clipped full body (does not like bridle path), has been in clinics, and has traveled. She is grained only with one supplement (cool calories), she does have chiropractor every month to keep her in top condition. I did have her x rayed as she does have a hind left bump on her ankle but her x rays where clean, (its superficial). She is Ridden 5-6 days a week (weather permitting). She does flop her tongue out but only when she’s bored or extremely nervous (she does not do this while riding). She is not hard to deal with as she can be held by anyone, she has the same personality every where she goes. She can get hot, but that is only during competition as she loves her job and settles right in when entering the ring. I don’t not have her papers, although she does have a tattoo and is on the jockey club website. (I’m sure they would not be hard to receive)
Bellamys Eventing career started when she was six years old. She was in a strict training program for two years with lessons every week ridden by me. She has also been in lessons with a 3*** rider for a summer and a Lainey Ashker clinic also ridden by me. All very much liked her and her personality. She has shown in North Carolina, Kentucky, and Ohio. She has shown in intro all the way up to Beginner Novice. This year I was planning on taking her novice as she schools’ novice and training level very easily at home. She has shown in novice eventing dressage and scored moderately well. Her last beginner novice was October 2018 and she placed 2nd out of 10. She has no problem making time on cross country and she always has a clean stadium. Her dressage skills are still coming but she has amazing progression. She has done walk to canter transitions, downward transitions, shoulder inn, haunches in, turn on the forehand, and much more. She does not care about any cross country or stadium fence (ditches, water, tires, flowers, windmills, giant lollipops, Halloween décor, steps, etc.) In her entire career she has only refused two fences and that was her first cross country school ever. She can get hot when jumping and not for a beginner rider. She is not out of control but can be ridden by a amateur or someone who just wants to compete up to training level. She would be great for a teenager who loves a quick paced horse with lots of personality. She knows her job and loves doing it!! Only reason for selling is I know she will not be an intermediate or advanced horse and that is what I want. Otherwise I would love to keep her. Price negotiable to a good home. Located in Ohio.
