Rosa Cha in Kentucky to Compete in CDI

Rosa , Gracia and I arrived at the Kentucky Horse Park yesterday afternoon for the Kentucky Dressage Association CDI. Rosa traveled very well!

Here is a recent video of a lesson on Rosa with Michael at home in PA. Videos from Kentucky coming soon!

Congratulations to Beau Guimond on JYOP Win at Fair Hill!

 

A huge conrats must go to Beau 'Guey' Guimond for a very impressive win in the Junior/Young Riders Open Preliminary at Fair Hill horse trials on the weekend. Beau smoked a quality field at Fair Hill in his final outing before taking part in his first international threeday event at Bromont, Canada in a few weeks. He performed super on all three phases at Fair Hill, sending a clear message that he means business for his up coming challenge north of the border.

Purina Analyzes and Customizes Windurra Horses' Feed

Yesterday David Kurtz, our local Purina Rep for PA and MD, (717-314-5264) and Dr. Katie Young, a Nutrition Specialist from Kansas City, came out to our farm yesterday and evaluated the horses and their nutritional needs. Dr. Young writes a bi-monthly column for Equisearch.com and is a great resource for answering all sorts of questions about equine nutrition. 

L-R: David Kurtz, Dr. Young, Lindsey and Boyd

 We have changed Trading Aces to a high energy feed for horses in hard work, and we made a few changes to some of the hotter event horses, who have trouble containing their energy in dressage, to Purina Ultium. A lot of Silva’s dressage horses are in quite hard work and they made some changes to the amount of feed that some of her upper level horses receive, weighing their portions to customize their feed so that they are getting exactly what they need. 

We really tried to personalize each horse’s diet to make sure we get the best out of each horse. We also learned about some of the new Purina products, which we were aware of but didn’t know the benefits of, like the hay block which is a new technology for hydrating horses.

Omolene 200

If anyone would like to have their horse’s diet analyzed and specially tailored you can give David a call; also a huge thanks to Katie for flying out to meet with us and our horses.

Clinic with an Olympian

Boyd is a 4 star eventing competitor. He was shortlisted for the Australian Olympic team on two horses, Yin Yang Yo and Neville Bardos. Since becoming a US citizen, Boyd has had great success competitively. He was named Rider of the year by the Chronicle of the Horse in 2011. He was talented enough to have not 1 but 3 horses on the selection list for the Olympics. On the chosen mount, Otis, Boyd had a successful outing in dressage and cross country for his first Olympics representing the US.  To find out more about Boyd go to  www.boydandsilvamartin.com. 

Boyd Martin is one of the best clinician I have ridden with in a long time. People who ride with him feel they were challenged along with their horse both mentally and physically without being overfaced. Your confidence reaches a new level. He demonstrates imagination in the exercises he teaches. He explains techniques for both stadium and cross country clearly and logically. My horses excelled during the class and I have used many suggestions afterwards. This is someone you don’t want to miss riding with.  

I am honored to be hosting Boyd at my farm after his debut at the Olympics. He does not do clinics very often, so come join in a fabulous learning experience!

SBF Balboa Has Sold!!

SBF Balboa recently sold, and we're delighted to see "Rocky" going just up the road to Kate Hick's stable, where he is going to focus his talents in the dressage ring with one of her clients.

Rocky is a wonderful example of the breeding efforts of our good friends and clients, Denise Lahey and Pierre Colin at Stony Brook Farm in Peterborough, NH.  Rocky is a registered Dutch warmblood out of Juventus, who's spectacular movement will continue to impress the dressage judges.  Thanks go out to Denise and Pierre for continuing to send us quality horses and for supporting our training program.

We're excited that Rocky will be moving over to Kate's facility and look forward to watching him rise through the levels in the dressage ring!
