DZ’s first time jumping around with a YR, totally unbothered by trees being chopped down near the ring! This super sweet 7 yr old is ready to head in any direction with a new partner. He is available to be seen in Charlottesville, VA and is headed to Loudoun HT next weekend in the novice.
So thrilled with Cathryn Brodie and Cate Lowham’s Casalto 🦹🏻♂️ in the CCI3*L & Peter Dean and Jenni Bickerstaff’s Assagart Earl🌞 in the CCI2*L both finishing their weekends show jumping clear! Also very pleased with Roland Millican’s Traditionally Fernhill 🖤 with a bit more fitness and strength we have no doubt that he has a clean show jump round in him! Overall our experience at Bromont was nothing short of amazing and a great step forward for all the horses. The event was incredibly well run thanks to the organizers and officials who did a fantastic job. We will definitely be back! 🇨🇦A big thank you to World Equestrian Brands, Amerigo saddles, Neue Schule USA, and Nutrena Feed for their ongoing support. Very grateful to my team, Ruth Patricia Asquith and Rachael Livermore for taking great care of the horses all week and to Cate Lowham and Mandolin Whitten for keeping all the wheels turning at home!
Our AquaPacer sessions at Veterinary Rehabilitation Services of Virginia have been a great addition to our horses’ conditioning work! So much of our training is focused on strength building, and this workout is a low impact way to keep working on increasing muscle and stamina 🏊🏼♂️
A recap from our superb weekend at Virginia Horse Center Foundation! This event feels like home and it certainly did not disappoint. Starting off with Roland Millican’s Traditionally Fernhill adding only planned XC time to his dressage score to end up in the top 10, Ken🖤 is gearing up to head to Bromont and we are all really looking forward to what he does this year! Cathryn Brodie and Cate Lowham’s Casalto had an easy run around the open intermediate and added just a handful of time to his dressage score of 27.2 to bring home 2nd🥈, Klaus🦹🏻♂️ is also gearing up to head to Bromont and is feeling more than ready. Kristin A Caskey & Lulu Malinoski’s Afrojack Z🐰 contested the 2*L with a single second of time on XC and a double clear showjump to secure a 2nd place finish is his first 2*L🥈 Gortglas Lupin🐺 also contested his first 2*L with two double clear jump rounds to end in 3rd right behind Jack!🥉Both Lupin and Jack have really been showing up and performing very well and we are looking forward to seeing what they accomplish come fall! Peter Dean & Jenni Bickerstaff’s Assagart Earl🌞 jumped two clear round adding only some time to his dressage score to end in 8th in the 2*S. To round out the weekend Rachael Livermore’s Milano Quick Top🍪 added another modified to his resume ending the weekend with a lovely double clear SJ round!

Last weekend we had a very successful weekend at Tryon International Equestrian Center & Resort ➡️ Gabby had three horses in the CCI3*S: “Top Carrera”🏎️ (syndicate shares available!), Roland Millican’s “Traditionally Fernhill” 🖤, and Cathryn Brodie & Cate Lowham’s “Casalto” 🦹🏻♀️ - they all finished strong and felt super all weekend. Klaus and Ken are gearing up for Bromont, and the next stop for them is Virginia Horse Center Eventing in a couple of weeks. ⭐️The highlight was Top Carrera only adding some XC time to his dressage score of 28.3 to finish inside the top ten at his first 3*s. Cappy is now qualified for the World Breeding Championships at Le Lion in October, and we believe he’s the first 7 yr old in the country to be qualified. We are super excited about the rest of his season, so please reach out if you’re interested in being involved in the journey as a syndicate member. Cappy will now have a little break before his fall season as he’s done nothing but try very hard all spring and stepped up to this level very well!We also had the two greener horses in the CCI2*S. “Gortglas Lupin”🐺 and Kristin A Caskey & Lulu Malinoski’s “Afrojack Z”🐰 were both class acts doing really nice dressage tests and jumping double clear. Lupin was so close to a top 10 finish but after losing both front shoes we had to play it a little bit safe and go a little slower than planned. ❤️We are very grateful for the support of World Equestrian Brands, Amerigo saddles, Neue Schule USA, and Nutrena Feed for always keeping the horses performing their best especially as we gear up for the bigger events! A big thank you to Ruth Patricia Asquith and Cate Lowham for keeping the horses happy and looking their best all weekend, as well as Rachael Livermore holding down the fort at home. The string of horses is looking very strong and the future bright 🌟
Very happy with all the boys in yesterday’s 3* dressage at Tryon International Equestrian Center & Resort!The Top Carrera Syndicate’s “Top Carrera”🏎️ put in a superb test in his first ever 3* to put himself in 4th place on a 28.3! Cathryn Brodie and Cate Lowham’s “Casalto” was all business scoring a 32.7 to sit inside the top 12.⭐️ Roland Millican’s “Traditionally Fernhill” was a champion and got the worst of all conditions with thunder and lightning⛈️ but still managed to earn himself a 36.8! We are looking forward to these three show jumping this afternoon, and the 2* horses starting their weekend today as well! The horses were turned out beautifully thanks to Ruth Patricia Asquith and Cate Lowham. As always we are very grateful to World Equestrian Brands, Amerigo saddles, Neue Schule USA and Nutrena Feed for keeping the horses looking, feeling and performing their best!

Casalto gearing up for his Intermediate move up ☄️ “Klaus” has a prominent wither and a lot of shape to his back. World Equestrian Brands was able to get him outfitted with an Amerigo saddles DJ with a long head iron, and combine it with a E.A. Mattes GmbH half pad in their new EWWA fit (extra wide wither area). It’s made a world of difference for him and I’m so grateful to Robin Moore for always being there for me and keeping my horses as comfortable as possible 💙

Kiki Osbourne’s American TB 🇺🇸 Frijole is 6 this year and it’s been so fun to help produce him! Kiki put a great foundation on him and keeps him going throughout the year. He had good showings in both the 4 yr old and 5 yr old United States Eventing Association, Inc. (USEA) Young Event Horse Championships the last two years and I’m excited to see what we can do this year 🤩 Thank you Kiki for trusting me with him! #americanbred #thoroughbred #americanthoroughbred #youngeventhorse #eventing
Available in Ocala ☀️ Sophia Tharseo - 13 yr old Oldenburg mare with Preliminary experience. If you need a XC confidence boost Sophie is your girl! She is forward but not hot and an absolute machine XC - her entire XC record is perfect. She also does well on the flat and is easy to get on the bit. Priced very reasonably for a horse with her experience level. She is absolutely sweet and easy in the barn and on the ground and is generally laid back. She would be very suitable for a kid or amateur! Send a PM or message Gabby at 252-207-1264 to come try her! 🤍
