Liz Halliday-Sharp will be looking to make it a hat trick at this year’s edition of LiftMaster Grand-Prix Eventing at Bruce’s Field. She and Deniro Z topped the field in 2020, and she won the inaugural event with Fernhill by Night in 2019. Now, she’s returning to defend the title in 2021.

Naturally, they were the first pair we wanted to catch up with for our “Inside the Stable with the Aiken Showcase Stars” series, which will run between now and the event on March 5-6, 2021. We get a fun, personal look at this incredible partnership at their home base at Horsepower Equestrian.

This pair had a bang-up 2020, and we wish the best of luck to this inspiring pair in 2021! Liz is a girl-on-fire and we can’t wait to follow her path (to Tokyo, fingers crossed!)
