Early Look at the Rolex Cross Country Course with Derek di Grazia

By on Apr 14, 2016 11:00 am -

Don’t miss this wonderful video as EN’s own Samantha Clark previews the Rolex Kentucky cross country course with technical delegate Tom Ryckewaert and course designer Derek di Grazia. The first four fences on the course are the same as last year, with an imposing new jump coming at fence five, the Keepers Brush, that riders will really have to sit down and gallop at to find the proper momentum.

The first water at the Creekside Cabins comes at fence 6ab, with a serious jump in and the familiar goose sitting in the water. The Curving Brushes are another new combination this year, replacing the keyhole at the mound complex with two skinny brushes on top of the mounds that are going to require a high level of accuracy.

Fence 18 is a brand new water complex called the Land Rover Landing, the fourth time horses and riders will enter water on the course. This is just past the halfway mark at about the seventh minute. The Lexington Duck Marsh is the final water complex late in the course, at about the 10-minute marker, with a “half pipe” going toward the ducks.

It’s so exciting to see some of the new surprises Derek has up his sleeve this year, and we can’t wait to see the full course in person. Only 12 days to go until the first horse inspection! Keep it locked on EN for all your #RK3DE news, and click here to catch up on all of our pre-Rolex coverage so far. Go Eventing.

By the Numbers: Twin Rivers CIC3*

Twin Rivers is the last opportunity for riders in the U.S. to obtain qualifications before Rolex Kentucky, as next weekend’s three-stars will fall inside the 10-day window before Rolex cross-country. Two of the six entries have their name down for Rolex, as well as one in the Advanced and two in the Intermediate who will all be heading to Kentucky.

For the CIC3*, the dressage test will be 2015 FEI 3*-B. Derek di Grazia, who has been named the course designer for the 2018 World Equestrian Games and 2020 Olympic Games, is the cross country course designer at Twin Rivers, and Jose Nava designs the show jumping.

TOP THREE

1. Amber Levine and Carry On: Amber and Carry On now have two Advanced runs under their belt and will be making their first CIC3* start at Twin Rivers. With a stellar flat average thus far, they’ll be forcing the rest of the field to play catch up.

Amber and Carry On thus far average the FEI equivalent of a 39.4 in dressage. They’ve proven they can jump double clear most recently at Copper Meadows, although they did have a rail in their debut at Fresno. If they jump clear across the country and match their Copper Meadows pace for only 2.4 time penalties, they’ll snag first place with a score in the low 40s.

2. Jordan Linstedt and Revitavet Capato: After an uncharacteristic show jumping round at Galway Downs, Revitavet Capato is back to prepare for a good final round before heading east to contest Rolex for the second year in a row.

Revitavet Capato can certainly lay it down on the flat but averages a 52 on this particular test, which will be good enough for second. They haven’t jumped any of Jose’s courses before, but average two rails and one time penalty in the show jumping phase. An average of only 3.6 time penalties over Derek’s courses will place them easily in second with a score in the mid-60s.

3. Anna Collier and Gleaming Road: These two are not only entered at Rolex for their second four-star attempt, but are also cross-entered at Badminton. However, they are a bit down the waitlist for Badminton still, so it’s more likely we see them next at Kentucky.

Gleaming Road averages a 58.9 on this particular test, which will put him in the middle of the pack after the first phase. These two also average two rails in the stadium phase, but a clear run with an average of 20 time penalties over Derek’s courses will move them up to third at the end of the weekend.

The struggle is real. Photo by Maggie Dupler.

Yesterday, I brought home chickens as a surprise for my mother, and popped them and their new coop into an empty stall in the barn. They’re still little, so they’ll stay there for a week before moving into their outdoor pen, but the side effect is that the horses get to stare at them when they’re stabled during the day.

One of my horses thinks that they’re terrifying little monsters, and the other one (Nyls) thinks that maybe chickens are the most entertaining thing he’s ever seen. Chicken TV! Next thing you know, he’ll have a traveling show chicken, just like some upper level horses have a traveling mini horse. Can you get a yellow card for a loose chicken at a show? Hmm …

Lynn Symansky has chosen to compete at Rolex this spring with Donner instead of heading across the pond to Badminton. After receiving a Land Rover/USEF competition grant to go to Badminton, we were expecting a flying deer in England. However, as he travelled quite a bit last year and hopefully will be doing some more travel later this summer (!), Lynn has chosen to keep the All American Deer on the local 4* circuit.

We are sad to report that Ballylaffin Bracken has been withdrawn from Rolex. Kristin reported yesterday that Rox has sustained a bone bruise, and while he will be back in action later this year, he needs time right now to heal and won’t be able to make a return visit to Rolex. This pair completed Rolex in 2013, 2014, and 2015. Rox is looking forward to some R&R and a fall three day. Best wishes to Kristin and Rox, and we will be sad not to see their faces in Kentucky.

Would you use a “smart bit” on your horse? In the age of fitbits, technology is now promising to give us a smart bit that measures a horse’s fitness in real time. The smart bit will alert the trainer when the horse’s biostatistics deviate from predetermined physiological set-points, in order to predict and prevent injuries from occurring. Data provided by the bit would include real-time biometric data streams, a composite of the horse’s energy level, and alerts when a racehorse’s physical condition is less than optimal.

Very unfortunately, super mare Zenyatta’s newborn foal has passed away. Lane’s End released a statement yesterday confirming that her 2016 War Front colt died due to complications of meconium aspiration syndrome. Meconium, a foal’s first manure, is typically passed during the first 12 to 24 hours of life. However, it can be expelled while a foal is still in the uterus. If this happens, a foal can aspirate feces during its first breaths. Meconium aspiration can lead to severe pnemonium, systemic infection, and death. [Zenyatta’s Foal]

KER ClockIt™ Session of the Week – Foxhunting

This week’s KER ClockIt™ Sport session illustrates a Thoroughbred gelding on a 2.5-hour foxhunt. The horse’s speed is depicted in orange, while heart rate is depicted in purple. Overall, the horse spent about half the session walking and half trotting, cantering, and galloping.

When we look at heart rate, the horse spent about 15 minutes above a heart rate of 70%, of which 3 minutes were in the 80-90% range (yellow on the graph). In this zone, there begins to be a significant level of anaerobic energy generation and blood lactate starts to accumulate. This is the zone where many human athletes train to improve fitness.

Using KER ClockIt Sport to record your rides not only gives valuable insights into your horse’s fitness, but now you can also win a great prize! Share your ClockIt sessions for a chance to win the KER and Eventing Nation Share Your Sessions Sweepstakes. For more information, visit the website.

William Fox-Pitt made a successful return to competition aboard his veteran partner and Rolex winner, Parklane Hawk, earlier this month. The pair competed in the Open Intermediate division, completing with four jump faults in show jumping and a nice, easy cross country.

Thanks to our friends at An Eventful Life, we can now view William’s ride across country on Parklane Hawk. He also competed Cool Mountain at this event. “It was great to be out again at my first event of the season,” William wrote on his website. “I decided to just ride two horses rather than four, to be sensible with the hope of being able to do them justice. Happily both went really well.”

William has also been out competing at Aldon, Portman, Larkhill and Weston Park as he continues to eye a comeback to the four-star level at Badminton this spring. We continue to wish William well in his return and can’t wait to see him at Badminton!

Rolex Rookies: Sydney Conley Elliott and Cisko A

By on Apr 13, 2016 1:00 pm -

Welcome to EN’s third annual Rolex Rookies series! We’re thrilled to be profiling the new faces on the entry list for Rolex this year, and we couldn’t be more excited for these riders taking their first crack at Kentucky. We’ll be bringing you exclusive profiles on each Rookie pair, so keep checking back to learn more about the competitors you’ll see at Rolex.

Sydney Conley Elliott and Cisko A.

Louisiana hometown girl Sydney Conley Elliott is a lifelong equestrian and horse lover about to realize her goal of competing at the Rolex Kentucky CCI4*. Sydney was hooked on eventing at the age of 8 after participating in a Karen O’Connor clinic at nearby Holly Hill Farm. Prior to that, she had ridden in the hunter ring, but “It didn’t last very long. I needed something a little more fast-paced,” she laughed.

Still based in Benton, Louisiana, Sydney now operates her own training business just two miles down the road from Holly Hill Farm where it all began. She loves the area and the people and doesn’t see herself leaving anytime soon. “It’s not a large equestrian area, but the community here in general is incredible and so supportive,” she said. “They are just awesome.”

Throughout her career, Sydney has always had upper-level competition goals, including contesting Rolex Kentucky one day. The driving force behind her love of eventing, though, is a simple love of horses. “I love each and every horse,” she explained. “I even love cleaning stalls every day!”

Conley Stables is Sydney’s solo-run business, mainly starting or retraining young horses. Most of Sydney’s competitive mounts have been ones she has made and brought up through the levels herself. One notable exception to this is her Rolex mount: Cisko A, a 2006 Westphalian gelding owned by Carol Stephens.

Sydney got to know the Stephens family when they brought their daughter’s horse to her for training, and later as their daughter did a working student stint with her. When Sydney sold her upper-level mount, Pancho Villa, to Boyd Martin in 2013, Carol stepped in to help Sydney find her next super-star horse. After a trip to Germany they imported Cisko with the hope that he would eventually take Sydney to Rolex: “Carol and her family are probably the best people in the world.”

Their hope will become a reality in a few short weeks. Their recent accomplishments include a third place finish in the CIC3* at Pine Top earlier this year, a completion at the Dutta Corp Fair Hill International CCI3* in 2015 and a fourth-place finish in the CCI3* Rebecca Farm in 2015.

Cisko has earned himself the nickname “The Grumpy German” since he can be a bit irritable and rude in his stall. “He never nips and never bites — only threatens to,” Sydney said. “Out of the stall, though, he’s wonderful all the time.” In true event horse from, Cisko’s forte is cross country. The pair has had just a single cross country jump penalty throughout their partnership.

“I’m betting I have one of the best cross-country horses out there,” Sydney said. “I’m trying not to get too excited for the Rolex cross-country course.” Dressage, however, is another story: “He can sometimes have a panic attack in the sandbox!”

As far as preparation for their first four-star goes, Sydney says that things have been going so smoothly that it’s “a little scary.” The pair will be spending the rest of April at Will Faudree’s Gavilan Farm until it’s time to head to Kentucky. They will be making final preparations with some training help from Will, Bobby Costello and John Zopatti.

Sydney is still awestruck that she is finally going to Rolex. “I don’t think it will feel real until I get there,” she said. Pragmatically, Sydney is trying not to get her hopes for the weekend up too high, given her “rookie” status.

“I would be thrilled if we could not have any outbursts in dressage,” she said. “But I really just want to complete the first one. Of course, being safe and coming home healthy and happy is most important, but I would really like to finish too.”

We wish Sydney and Team Cisko the best of luck in Kentucky. Go Rolex Rookies!

Derek di Grazia Named 2018 WEG and 2020 Olympic Course Designer

By on Apr 13, 2016 10:56 am -

EN is delighted to confirm that the USA’s own Derek di Grazia has been named the course designer for both the 2018 World Equestrian Games in Bromont, Quebec, and the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan.

“When you’re in this line of work, it’s the ultimate goal to be able to design just one of these championships courses,” Derek told EN. “It is quite an honor to be able to do this.”

Known for his safe, sensible yet tough courses, Derek has been one of the top designers in the U.S. for more than 15 years. He began designing the CCI3* and CCI2* tracks at Fair Hill International in 1999, adding the Bromont CCI3* to his resume in 2009. Derek became the new course designer for the Rolex Kentucky CCI4* in 2011.

With his schedule now destined to be busier with these two new championships courses on his plate, Derek confirmed he will continue on with designing at Fair Hill, Bromont and Rolex. He also currently designs at Twin Rivers, Pine Top and Fitch’s Corner.

Bromont will be a unique situation in that Derek will design for the horse trials, held annually in early June, while simultaneously planning and incorporating his vision for the 2018 WEG course.

“It’s going to be quite a different course from what you see now at the venue because of the construction and the build-out going into areas we haven’t used before, which is great because it makes it nice to have something fresh for the World Games,” Derek said.

“I’ve got a general idea of the track for 2018. Ideally we would like to start doing some of the work in the fall of this year, and then the majority of the work will be done the following year.”

The beginning stages of planning the 2020 Olympic course in Tokyo are also underway, and Derek flew to Japan last month for a site visit to Sea Forest, also known as Umi no Mori, in Tokyo Bay, where the cross country course will be built.

“The venue is a blank slate and will be a work in progress over the next few years,” Derek said. “It’s not a developed site yet, and we’re hoping to get work started there in the next year.”

As for who will build the 2018 WEG and 2020 Olympic cross country courses, Derek said that has yet to be determined and the bid process will begin soon.

Derek is the third American in history to design at a World Championships, joining Roger Haller, who designed the 1978 course in Lexington, Kentucky, and Neil Ayer, who designed the 1986 course in Gawler, South Australia.

His appointment to Tokyo also makes Derek the third U.S. course designer to lay out an Olympic track, as Neil Ayer designed the 1984 Los Angeles course and Roger Haller designed the 1996 Atlanta course.

In designing both the 2018 WEG and 2020 Olympic courses, he joins the elite group that has designed both a World Championships and Olympic track: Wolfgang Feld, Mike Etherington-Smith, Neil Ayer, Roger Haller, Pierre Michelet and now Derek di Grazia.

Derek is currently enjoying some time at home with his wife, Bea, and their family at Stillwater Farm in Carmel Valley, California, before heading to Lexington to put his final touches on this year’s Rolex course.

“There’s a lot to do in the next few years,” Derek said. “It’s going to be a very exciting time, and it will be a lot of travel, but it’s going to be a lot of fun.”

The UGA Eventing Team IS Insanity in the Middle

By on Apr 13, 2016 9:45 am -

Needless to say, when we here at EN noticed that the University of Georgia Eventing Team showed up to last weekend’s Chattahoochee Hills H.T. College Team Challenge with not just one…

but TWO actual, real-life chinchillas, one of which is named “Fetty”…

…we freaked out a little.

Screen Shot 2016-04-11 at 1.58.46 PM

I mean, who rolls up to an event with an entourage of chinchillas, plural? Besides EN, but our Chinch is — don’t tell him we told you this — kind of a stuffed animal.

It’s a beautiful day for watching cross country at #TheFork!

Further stalking these UGA cats dawgs on Instagram, one thing became clear: Not only are they straight-up ballers who, in addition to a solid finish at Chattahoochee Hills clinched the Intercollegiate Win at Poplar Place H.T. a couple weeks ago…

Our team had team had some great rides in dressage and on XC today. Hoping for clear rounds in stadium tomorrow. Go dawgs!

As a weekend and evening warrior, I’m thankful to finally be able to be leaving the barn before sunset. That’s not actually because I’m leaving any earlier, but more because the sun is setting later. I’ll take it though, as well as the warmer temperatures that let me wear short sleeves while riding and let me go on a quick hack after being stuck in the indoor.

Alice Dunsdon would like to be the first to complete all six four-stars with one horse but the one most local to her may be a stumbling block.  Alice and her Fernhill Present have now completed five of six, including the most challenging to get to, Adelaide. However, due to the points system and the fact that Alice does not generally push ‘Hilly’ for time, they have found themselves well down the waitlist. Instead of bemoaning their fate, Alice has determined to make herself ready and present and not dwell on what might not be. [Badminton Blog]

Leah Lang-Gluscic perfectly articulates why eventers love cross country. I was reading this blog Leah wrote and perfectly identified with the way she described the pit in one’s stomach on cross country day, the way that pit grows and turns to stone until you ask yourself why you even bother with this sport. And then you throw a leg over and it all goes away, feeling of adrenaline and partnership washing the nerves out of your system. [Why Do I Do This?]

Ocala is wrapping up their season with the Spring Festival of Eventing. Long considered the definitive conclusion of the Florida winter experience, the spring Ocala event boasts levels from YEH all the way through CCI2*, with an Advanced CT thrown in for good measure. Beginning today and concluding on Sunday, the show provides spectator experiences for everyone as well as fabulous prizes. [Ocala Welcomes More than 450 Competitors]

What happens when your tack malfunctions on cross country? Mikki Kuchta recounts her experience this past weekend at The Fork, when her reins unbuckled and she was left holding two flapping ends in the Advanced aboard Rubens D’Ysieux. Unfortunately for Mikki, her experience ended in a harmless tumble and she’ll look forward to taping those rein ends in the future. [When Eventer Problems Strike on Cross Country]

SmartPak Product of the Day: It’s that in-between season where you can’t quite avoid showering your horse anymore after a good ride, but you also can’t leave them to air-dry because it’s just a bit too cool. Enter the Irish-knit, which will keep your horse warm while they dry.  [SmartPak]
