| COURAGEOUS COMET - with Becky Holder up at Maui Jim Horse Trials, 2007 |

More Than Courageous Heads turned as Becky Holder warmed up Courageous Comet for dressage. The gray gelding is an uncommonly handsome horse and a far-above-average mover, but he looked like an FEI-level dressage horse as he floated around the ring, showing collection, throughness and freedom rarely seen in eventing dressage. Surprisingly, they didn't win the test. They tied for fourth, because his power and suspension caused Holder to give away marks, especially on the extended trots and some transitions. "Now I've got to learn to sit him better and to put the pieces together in the ring” said Holder. She held on to fourth place, even though she unwittingly fell behind the clock early on cross-country to finish 27 seconds slow, and then just caught the last show jumping fence. Courageous Comet, 10, won two advanced horse trials last year, but Holder said he's moved up a notch or three over the winter, thanks to training sessions with U.S. team coaches Robert Dover in dressage and Laura Kraut in show jumping. She said that Dover improved Courageous Comet's collection and self-carriage by doing work at about the Prix St. Georges level. "Robert thinks we really need to ride at that level and not just be satisfied with obedient and accurate, that we should think of it as doing a dance, not just performing compulsory movements," Holder said. She added, “Now he feels like you’re riding a hovercraft in dressage and a Ferrari on cross country.” Courtesy of The Chronicle of the Horse/John Strassburger Friday, March 31, 2006 Competition Highlights: Spring 2006 Results: |

GIZ ANJIZ "I am sending along 2 photos of Anjiz that we took last weekend with my friend's million dollar camera. Anjiz is a wonderful horse. I have
ridden him everyday but 1 since he's been around. Everyone in the
barn loves him & his easy going personality. I think he
should be easy to turn around, but I'm having fun at the same
time." |

CALEDONIA (a.k.a. HERMAN) Congratulations to Mary Clare and Caledonia, who won Preliminary at Difficult Run 2005! Mary Clare writes: "Briefly, in 2003 he was USEA area 2 year end award winner at Novice as well as CDCTA year end winner at Novice. He won 4 events that year including the Area 2 Novice Championships. In 2004, He was USEA area 2 Reserve Training horse and won the CDCTA year end award at Training. He won 3 events last year and in addition, ran in a training level 3 day which he finished happy and sound. This year he won his first event out at training and Difficult Run was his 2nd time out at Prelim. I have really taken a lot of time with him as he is a spooky/nervous horse and am starting to see the results of that. He really seems to be coming into his own. I don't even think he noticed the fences got bigger this year. He has more scope than any horse I have ever ridden. I'm having a ball with him and am aiming for a one-star in the fall. Thank you for your interest in "Hermy". Mary Clare" |
