“Renaissance Man”

Stunning 2016 17 hand Hanoverian gelding. Just won his first intermediate with 5 star potential. Beautiful mover and jumper, fantastic galloper and always competitive at the shows. Ren is extremely eye catching and has a lot of presence, we would love to see him reach his full potential with a professional, but he also has a lovely temperament and could easily be an amateurs dream horse.

From a warmblood bred by an animal science program at a junior college that usually breeds Quarter Horses to a sibling of a top-three finisher at Badminton in England to the oldest son out of a mare that died in a trailer accident that made international news, it will be a unique, talented, and special group of horses at the 2024 The Dutta Corporation United States Eventing Association, Inc. (USEA) Young Event Horse (YEH) West Coast Championships at Twin Rivers. The YEH championships have become a significant step on the ladder that some of the top American eventing prospects are climbing on their way to the highest levels of the sport. Here's a preview.

Go Cora!! 🤩🤩

Cora’s four-star win with James Alliston in the mare’s first event at the level, along with Tamie Smith’s victories with her veterans Mai Baum at Intermediate and Kynan in the three-star, were highlights of the 2024 Twin Rivers Fall International in Paso Robles, California. Also, Get Wild and Gabriella Ringer won the CCI2*-S after capturing the CCI2*-L at this year’s Twin Rivers Spring International. Lauren Burnell returned to FEI competition with victory in the CCI1*-S aboard Freedom Hill after what she described as “a pretty intense hip surgery last October.” And, in the USEA’s Young Event Horse (YEH) qualifiers, Andrea Baxter and MBF Dig Deep won the 4-year-old division, and Amber Birtcil was one-two in the 5-year-old division with Zippity Doodah and Orpheus. Here's a full recap.
