The EN was saddened to learn yesterday of the passing of Northern Spy at the age of 27 years old. Known as around the barn as “Farley,” the English-bred Thoroughbred had a remarkable 18-year long eventing career which saw the completion of 97 USEA recognized events. He and owner/rider Heidi White together completed 21 FEI events including Kentucky, Burghley, Badminton, the 2005 FEI Eventing World Cup Finals in Sweden, and the 2006 World Equestrian Games in Aachen. Heidi and Farley were selected to represent the U.S. at the 2008 Olympic Games in Hong Kong, but an injury sustained during a training gallop unfortunately saw them withdraw before the start of competition.

Farley returned to the three-star level with Heidi in 2010 before running around the lower levels with a few different riders until 2016. Make sure to check out the video at the bottom of this post of him running around Millbrook in 2014 with a young rider! The EN team sends our deepest sympathies to Heidi and all who knew and loved Farley.
