Happy New Year

We're down at the Fork for new years with Sinead's parents. I'm heading back with a new horse of Jane Dudinsky's on sunday making a quick stop to look at a potential new horse on the way back. I'm very much looking forward to getting back to work. The 2010 season is quickly approaching, I can't wait to get started!

Hope everyone has a great new year's eve...check back in 2010.

USEA Annual Meeting

It's been a very good few days at the annual meeting. Today's highlight
was watching Bruce Davidson speak along with Denny Emmerson and Buck
with a few interjections by Lucinda Green. It is always humbling
listening to these greats speak, so much knowledge over the years. It's
a great honor to listen to just snippets of what is contained in their
head. On to the Gala tonight and the Hall of Fame introduction of both
Bruce and David O'Connor...I'm very much looking forward to the stories
to be told tonight.

Ireland day 2

Yesterdays xc ride was wild...nothing was out of the question...ditches, banks, walls, gates, barbed wire...or some combination thereof.

Today was decidedly more relaxed, we traveled around the country looking @ horses. Found a few that might suit.

Tomorrow were headed out hunting in stone wall country. Check back for some pix along the way!

On the Ground

We just landed for a few days at Enda's place. Aside from the forcast it sound like its going to be a blast. Enda had been Running Order's race trainer a few years back. Check back for pics!

Running Order

I just got a very exciting email this morning from the USET. It stated that Running Order is now on the Developing Rider list. This will allow us to attend the team training sessions this spring as well as access to coaching and grants throughout the year. This is the first step to international team competition.

Correction

I just checked the final results online...Andy finished in 3rd rather than 2nd

Driving Home from the Last Event of '09

Virginia HT was as usual a great event. Weather left some to be desired today...got wet on xc for the third event in a row. All of the horses were great.

The weekend started out with the Future Event Horse series championship. Tribute won not only among the 3 year olds but among all of the horses presented, yearlings, 2 year olds and 3 year old mare/fillies and colts/geldings. Tribute is owned by Kristin Burgers and it looks like he'll be around for a long time. I'm very excited about his potential.

LeRoy, owned by Sandy Freeman, once again won this weekend in prelim. Frolic owned by Annie Eldridge also won his training division.

Andy owned by Becky Storniolo finished 2nd as did Simon (SNS Syndicate) in their training divisions.

Tali finished 3rd, Charm owned by Cindy Strate finished 5th both in training.

Indy in his 3rd intermediate finished 6th.

We'll have a little down time...some local jumper shows will be on tap...

Aiken will again be the start of the season for 2010. Click on over for more info if you'd like to take part. Its shaping up to be a very exciting time to be involved.

Waredaca

Well I'm getting a lot of practice in the rain in the past few weeks...

This week again has had quite good results. Charm won for the first time at training. Simon finished fourth. Tali finished 3rd.

Both Frolic and Andy should have finished 4th and 1st, but due scheduling miscommunications they both finished all three phases clean but were technically eliminated. While this was very frustrating I was very happy to see how well they finished.

Leroy goes tomorrow...check back for results...
