Each year with the end of the eventing season in sight I start to get quite excited, perhaps I can sleep in or have a day off! Then I realise the eventing season is coming to a close and I get quite sad, what am I supposed to do now until the end of January?! This year my last competition will be Virginia Horse Trials in Lexington at the beginning of November. Directly following this we will be conducting the first Open House of my home base, Sunset Hills Farm. Since first moving there three years ago it has grown into the biggest sales and competition barn in MD. It's also home to Canadian WEG silver medalist, Stehpanie Rhodes-Bosch. The Open House will give everyone a chance to tour the farm and view the operations. This time of the year is also quite exciting as I plan the horses winter campaigns. I'm actually quite excited for winter 2013 as I'm going into it with a really good advanced horse and another great intermediate horse. Plus some younger ones coming thru behind them.

Next for me is MD Horse Trials at Loch Moy where I have 5 horses competing thru several divisions.
