New FEI single horse for TEAM STERLING

Wendy Ying, DVM has agreed to allow TEAM STERLING to add Duke, her 11 yo Sport Cob to the competitive stable. Duke and Wendy were the USEF 2008 Reserve National Single Horse Combined Driving Champion. Since then, Duke has been in Wendy's FEI four in hand. Duke, who's registered name is CS Duke of Earl, has already begun training with me again, and I look forward to bringing him out later this year. Duke and I showed early in his career as a pair with his brother, Dante.

Gayla Bluegrass CDE - TEAM STERLING Pony four-in-hand debut!

Had to make a change of plans to get through the show. Guzzi, my number one steady wheeler had to have eye surgery Friday. Velocette, who has not been much in the team, and is just beginning to understand life outside the roadster ring, had to step up to the plate. I had to juggle things around, and she had never done hazards at all before, but we go through the weekend without mishap thanks to Katie James, Leonard Courtemanche, and Carrie Ostrowski. Right leader is Montesa, left is Ducati II, right wheeler is Velocette, and left wheel is Penton. 

Debut show for TEAM STERLING Hackney pony four

Dressage and cones are done! 58.09 penalties in dressage (63.7%) and double clear cones! marathon at 08:30 Sunday! Ponies were all good. Penton did his best to hold it all together with reasonable success! Pictures and video asap.

Bad news

Moto Guzzi, my super pony, is fighting and eye abcess. 50/50 right now. Treating 6-8 times a day. He's out for the show for sure, and hopefully we can save the eye!

Ponies getting ready for Gayla Bluegrass CDE

Just a few more days until the Gayla Bluegrass CDE, our home show. I will be showing the pony team, as well as Darryl Leifheit and Janeene Jennings ASB gelding, A Savannah Day, aka Trooper. First show for all! I will also navigate for Dede Delaney and her pair in her first Prelim Pony Pair show, and 12 yo Chase Gillispie in his first CDE! Should be tons of fun!

Great news! McCauley Bros horse feeds has agreed to sponsor TEAM STERLING!

The ponies will be debuting at the Gayla Bluegrass CDE next weekend!
