"Only way that horses will win is to sit there and spend time with them. Show 'em that you're trying to help 'em. Love 'em. Talk to 'em. Get to know 'em. Now that's what you gotta do. You love 'em and they'll love you, too. People might call me crazy, but that's the way it is." -Eddie Sweat, groom for Riva Ridge and Secretariat
Each year Team Field day sets goals for the horses' competition season. We invite horse friends from various disciplines to join us on the journey. Last year, Field Day's Best Etiquette won IaDCTA and ITBOA Eventing Horse of the Year. This year, our goals include winning one or more Preliminary Level events, competing in the American Eventing Championships, the Area IV Championships and to compete in two long format (including steeplechase) events. These long format, classic events are "starred" events, so this year we are on the "Road to the Stars". Best Etiquette competing in dressage in the Spring 2009 Otter Creek Horse Trials. Meanwhile, we are delighted to have a rising star on the team. Fabulouso (Elliott) is a 12 year old hanovarian gelding owned by Mrs. Susan Brigham, the one on the right, above. He and I have completed two preliminary level events this spring, finishing 3rd and 5th in tough competition, a remarkable feat for his first experiences at the level. Both Eddie and Elliott are qualified and prepared to compete for the American Eventing Championships and the Area IV Championships later this summer. We’re asking you to support our journey with a donation, and in return, we’ll take you along for the ride and share the fun with you. Sponsorship at any level entitles you to electronic updates with photos and online video of the competitions on the Road to the Stars! Find out how you can join Team Field Day and our other kind sponsors on the Road to the Stars!
