Updated Sales Horses!

Carlingford's Simply Harry

17h 6yo grey Irish Sport Horse (Imported) Gelding
Harry has competed at novice level twice in Florida, finishing in the low thirties in second and third place. He is ready to move up to training level eventing, but would also excel as a foxhunter or equitation horse. He is simple and uncomplicated enough for an amateur or young rider, but talented enough for a professional.  USEA Results

 Carlingford's JD

12yo 16.1 Skewbald Imported Irish Sport Horse Gelding
JD is an experienced dressage horse who successfully competes in both the able- bodied and para equestrian classes.  JD has brought home ribbons at fourth level with working student Rachel Gross, including high score fourth level with a 68.3. JD is comfortably schooling all of the Prix St.George movements at home, and would love to show a young rider or adult amateur the ropes of dressage.

This experienced horse is also our "go- to" para horse, he has competed in National Championships with two Para riders, as well as being the highest- placed US horse at the World Equestrian Games. JD hacks out quietly and jumps small jumps, and he's perfect for the para- equestrian looking for a mount for the London Olympics.

JD is sadly offered for sale to an excellent home only!

Thank You Cindy Lawler!

While I was on course at Rolex, I sat by some women who were taking pictures at the Head of the Lake.  Since I had to hoof it across the course to another set of fences, I handed my business card to one of the ladies & asked if she would be kind enough to get some pictures at the water complex.  Needless to say, I didn't know what a talented photographer & had recruited.



Interestingly enough, Cindy revealed (after some prodding) that she had an interesting past at Rolex.  I asked her for a little bio and discovered that her love for horses had actually brought her to Rolex for the 1983 pony club rally nationals, where she won the jumper division. She also groomed for Lisa Anderson in 1985 who rode in the Intermediate  Prelim divisions (winning one), and in turn Cindy received the top groom's award for her efforts!



Cindy is from McHenry Illinois and works in Mobile Alabama as a Catastrophe Adjuster.  She is also a Certified Advanced Therapeutic Riding Instructor and enjoys photography as a past time, and I think she shows some serious talent!!  Thanks again to Cindy for these fabulous photos.

Post Rolex Wrap Up!

Rolex was such a positive experience this year, taking into account that BG had been recovering from an injury last year and had just started jumping again in February.  He was a bit tense in the dressage in front of the big audience, but put in a stellar clean XC round, when many horses & riders were over challenged.
He was tired for stadium & had a few resulting rails, but all in all BG's run at Rolex was inspiring!!

After the event, Missy was able to take him over to Hagyard for 3 hyperbaric chamber treatments on Sunday, Monday & Tuesday for an hour each day.  Missy said the chamber is like a rocket ship with padded walls and a port hole window for a view of your horse while he's being treated.  Their services and therapies are so cutting edge and we're so lucky to have them as a supporter.

What's next?  Missy is going to focus on dressage & jumper shows with BG until an appropriate event in the fall, which may be at Plantation Field or Richland Park.   There is also the Para team responsibilities, which is such a huge part of the BHF program, and we plan to have another blog update regarding those riders in the near future!

What A Day!!

It was a successful day at the Ky Horse Park for Missy and BG.  We met around noon at the Dover booth for a autograph signing with Missy's fabulous sponsor, Patrick Hughes and Horse First.  There was a constant line of fans filtering into the front of the booth to meet Missy and I was able to capture a few pictures for tonight's blog.

Their XC round was so inspiring, considering the number of top competitors who either came unseated (Tiana and Allison) or wracked up penalties due to refusals.   Missy and BG put in a beautifully clean round, with time penalties, but they came home safely and stand in 20th position going into stadium tomorrow.  Here's wishing them a restful night, sound morning and clean stadium round tomorrow!!

Dressage Wrap Up

Missy and BG looked fabulous in the warm up for their test & I was able to get some great shots of their pre-competition preparation.  As always, there were a great group of supporters joining the BHF crew to support our favorite big bay horse!!

The atmosphere in the stadium today was much different than yesterday with the majority of the seats being packed.  The energy from the crowd definitely played a part in BG's level of tension, but Missy rode a very accurate test & managed to contain him.  She was disappointed with their score (and I felt they were a bit unforgiving), but tomorrow brings new challenges & opportunities, and the course looks much improved since the storms.

Many thanks go out to all the BHF supporters & also Paddy from Horse First, who was on hand to lend support prior to the dressage test.  Stay tuned for more photos & results after they run XC at 2:35, and heres counting on a safe trip home!!

Greetings From The Horse Park!

I was able to catch up with Missy and Jessica yesterday as they were schooling BG in the warm up area.  They both looked fabulous & seem well prepared for today's dressage at 1:46, so please be sure to tune in to the Rolex Ky website for live coverage of the event!

More to come.......LT
