Top Ten Finishes at Galway Downs International Three-Day Event

Kristin and Cavaldi

After flying to California to compete at the Galways Downs International three-day event Kristin came home with two top-ten finishes on her two top horses. Cavaldi finished 6th in the CCI3* (61.0) while Ballylaffin Bracken placed 8th in the CCI2* (60.9). In spite of coming down with the flu, Kristin persevered to bring both boys home clear and in the time on Ian Stark's challenging cross-country course during the uncharacteristically rainy and muddy event.

Thanks to the USEF for the traveling grant that made it possible for Ballylaffin Bracken to finish the season with a three-day event, after all of his Pan-Am team training, and to the sponsors and supporters who stand behind Kristin and her horses.

Rox and Joey are California-bound

Kristin, Rox (Ballylaffin Bracken) and Joey (Cavaldi) are heading to California on Monday to compete at the Galway Downs International Three-Day Event in Temecula!


Thanks to a grant from the USEF, Rox will be able to join in on the trip to cap off his year with a run in the CIC**. Meanwhile Joey is on track for next year's Badminton CCI**** in England and Kristin is hoping to get in a solid three-star performance for him as they aim for their big goal. Both horses were checked out by the vet yesterday and are sound, healthy and ready for action. A big thanks to Samantha Lendl from PRO for coordinating the flights for all the horses from the East Coast, and to Greg Otteson from H.E. Tex Sutton who takes great care of all of the horses, getting them on and off the planes, when they fly. Stay tuned for updates from this exciting event on the West Coast!
