Refreshing to see good horsemanship!! Bravo! 👏 👏👏

Statement from Skylar Wireman on withdrawing Tornado from today’s final round at FEI World Cup Finals:

I have made the very difficult decision to withdraw from the final round of the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup Finals. Tornado, my horse is 100% well, sound and fit and I would like to explain why I have withdrawn. I came here knowing this would be an incredible learning experience and hoped to be competitive. I am at the start of what I want to be a long and successful career as a jumping athlete and to compete against the very best in the world has been an honor, and I have learned so much. I hope I have proven that I deserved to be here and that I will give my all to jumping clear rounds and being a winner. While I want to ride every round and grow my experience level, I care deeply about my horses. I love Tornado more than anything.

I came here with a horse that is 10 and is very much still learning and his welfare will always be at the very heart of every decision I make. Without our horse we are nothing, and they put their complete trust in us. Tornado was a rock star in the 1st Round of the World Cup Finals finishing 10th amongst the legends of our sport. He jumped his heart out in the 2nd Round on Thursday. Tornado is inexperienced at this level and having studied our round on Thursday and talked extensively to my coach and many others whose opinions and experience I have high regard for, I will not risk his welfare or his future in the sport by asking Tornado to jump a course he might not be quite ready for. The course today will be big and technical but fair for this level of competition: I knew it would be but I knew Tornado and I had the potential to jump it; that potential is still there but we need just a little more experience to realize it.

I am so grateful to those that have supported Tornado, to my family Shayne Berridge-Wireman , my groom Alicia Marie, my coach Peter Wylde and the USEF who have put a warm blanket of support around all of us here in Riyadh. I look forward to representing the team in the future!

Happy Easter! Looking for the horse of your dreams? As we are in the process of switching gears over here, we'll be cataloging some young horses that would not otherwise be available. They are not "fire sale" or super cheap, just gems that would have been retained. Send me your wishlist. Realistic prices for the quality. I'm going to need more pasture space for client horses and other programs. :)

Hidden Hill Farm is now accepting
applicants for 2 more junior riders with serious competition goals.
One in the 14 and under age group. (Eq and hunters)
One in the 15-17 age group. (Eq and hunters)

Last year 2 of our riders were 1st and 2nd in Zone 3 and
1st and 2nd in NC in the 14 and under Eq.

These girls came straight out of a lesson barn environment just 1 year ago! They improvements they have made over the course of a mere 12 months are nothing less than truly incredible.

They have spent the last year riding multiple horses and receiving individualized instruction. They have been provided opportunities to learn various different rides, attend horsemanship clinics, learn about young horses and much, much more. We provide a supportive, structured and motivating environment which we back up with decades of experience and results. We want our riders to be well-rounded individuals who will pay it forward in the industry for decades to come.

We have a strict no bullying policy and value sportsmanship above all else. No drama, just learning and fun in a peaceful, private environment.

If your child has big dreams, we are here to help them reach for the stars. We are so proud of our riders! Onward to great things in 2024!!

Stay tuned for more information on all that we have to offer!
