Jillian Dean and Kingcarra Cooley Diamond finishing 8th place on their dressage score, in their first event together.
The cold wind and rain at Southern Pines Horse Trials didn’t stop CWF riders from having great runs this weekend. Austin Skeens piloted What Gives around the gelding’s first Preliminary event in the pouring rain to great success. Jillian Dean and Kingcarra Cooley Diamond completed their first event together, finishing 8th in the Modified. Clare Brady claimed 2nd in the Junior Training on Rhythm and Blues, finishing the event on their dressage score 💃 Gloria Huber and Namiro Star had an educational outing as they learn to know one another.
We’ll be back in just a few weeks for Carolina International. Fingers crossed for better weather next time around!
Clare Brady and Rhythm & Blues jumping to second place, the only rider in Junior Training to go double clear:
Gloria Huber getting to know her new mount, Namiro Star, in the pouring rain. Did we mention that event riders are the toughest bunch around? 💪
Onward now to Southern Pines Horse Trials, with riders from Novice to Preliminary.
Clare Brady and Rhythm and Blues rocked around the cross country in the sunshine yesterday at Southern 8ths. Misty rainy weather today was not conducive to video, stay tuned tomorrow! 🐴
The team is escaping dreary Northern Virginia for sunny South Carolina for a few days. Back at our favorite winter home, Southern 8ths Farm, Jillian Dean and Kingcarra Cooley Diamond are getting to know each other well and making it look easy!
Congrats Gloria and Dancing Queen on a clean and fast run across the country today to hold on to their lead in the CCI**-L #veryfast #teamCWF
Austin and Rocky had a fantastic day with a double clear XC and SJ. They bring home the blue ribbon in the Young Rider Preliminary Champinships.
Everyone is working on grids during this brief hiatus from competition. Waterline today through the grown-up grid; this exercise is harder than it looks!
