Team Blue Hill Farm is All Pink - We're Off To Rolex!!

Well it's nearly upon us!  The team at BHF has been on the road, with Missy bringing a load of horses back to BHF in Unionville, before departing for one last trip down to Ocala before heading back to Lexington for Rolex! 

It's hard to imagine, after a lifetime of growing and learning together, that Madeline and Ari are getting ready to tackle their first RK3DE!!  We're so proud of all her determination and work ethic that have resulted in their amazing success together.  We wish them the best of luck in these final days on this enormous journey, and we can't wait to report on their adventures over the next week in Kentucky.

This quote from the recent US Equestrian feature on our Rolex Rookies pretty much sums it all up:

“It’s very special,” Backus said of her long relationship with her Rolex mount. “We’re kind of like siblings, we know each other so well. I would be lucky to have anything like that ever again. Having that bond and connection over 10 or 11 years is pretty incredible. It’s a bit of a fairytale, isn’t it?”

Check out the full article below, and please join us in wishing Madeline and Ari a safe and amazing experience at Rolex.  Go Team Pink!!
