  We were very saddened to get this open letter from Bob & Kay Willmarth owners of Richland Park in our inbox this morning. This is a kick in the guts to North American Eventers competing at the international level with so few shows to get required FEI qualifications. It was  encouraging last year with the inaugural Jockey Club International bringing another opportunity to the FEI competition line-up. Now, North America is no further ahead as we just lost an important and integral FEI qualifying competition for the riders based in the USA and Canada.  The USEA needs to have a…

  Connect with the Burghley CCI4* action: [Website] [Results] Oliver Townend (GBR) kept his head in a tense final jumping round at the Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials, last leg of the FEI Classics™, to score his first CCI4* victory for eight years and head a British sweep of the top four places. He overcame a nerve-racking moment when the 10-year-old Irish Sports Horse Ballaghmor Class crashed through the upright gate but, fortunately for him, the previous pair in the arena, Gemma Tattersall (GBR) and Arctic Soul had given him breathing space when they had a fence down. Oliver Townend (GBR),…

  Connect with the Burghley CCI4* action: [Results] [Website] [Schedule] [Times] [Results] Oliver Townend (GBR), very last out on the cross country at the Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials, sixth and final leg of the FEI Classics™, produced a superb display of horsemanship on the inexperienced Ballaghmor Class to head a British one-two-three.

However, the Irish-bred 10-year-old by Courage galloped and jumped easily and looks a star for the future, finishing on a score of 40.6….
