By Will Faudree “Asleep, no one is a hypocrite” – William Hazlett There is always a great quote that can be found to sum up any situation. William Hazlett’s quote is the first to come to my mind when I hear people talk about the lack of fitness and “time in the saddle” needed for the modern short format. Those of you who have competed in both the long and the short formats understand the

Andromaque, "Missie," is officially an Advanced horse! She was so amazing and I can't even describe how elated I was after her cross country run. She finished second overall and was one of there horses to go double-clear. Her finish was even more amazing because she did her dressage test in a torrential downpour. When we changed rein across the diagonal 1/3 of the way through her test, I could

Missie and I had a terrific cross country round today at Bromont. She was awesome and double-clear. There were very few combinations that completed the course within the time allowed. We were at the third to the last fence and were on course to be well under a minute under. She was galloping extremely well. That gave me a chance to slow her gallop to keep us closer to the optimum time.

Missie and I are going into the cross country phase in 7th place. I was pleased with her dressage test and thought she did a spectacular test.

Our day began early with preparations with Ernie well before 7:00 a.m. We left the start box promptly at 10:50 a.m. and completed the course with no jumping faults and 6 time faults. I rode the 15-16 water combination through the long route to give Ernie lots of confidence in his first four star. It was the half way point on the course. The course was extremely long and there was not one break

The optimum time is 11 minutes. Our start is set for 10:55 ET. We are all hoping the stormy weather holds off until end of cross country.
