the WORLD EQUESTRIAN GAMES (WEG) Eventing competition less than
30 days away, riders are keenly aware of their horses' every
breath, every heartbeat, every mouthful...

Rebecca Farm Report from Jemi
What an incredible show the west put on for the east at the
Rebecca Farm Horse Trials. We’ve always known the Rebecca Farm
competition to be famous for the site, the organization, the
courses, the amenities, the friendliness, and the spirit of good
competition. And this year was no exception. But this year,
for the first time, top riders and their horses came from the
east...

 Meet
Poggio's new BFF
Poggio
received a (little) gift in the fall of 2009, a best friend named Jethro.
Jethro is the cutest mini-donkey you have ever seen. They share
a stall, a field, and even their food. When Poggio is getting
exercised, Jethro hangs out in the corner of the arena, always
in sight.
More pictures of them on Meet the team.

.JPG) Amy Tryon
rode a borrowed pony in her first 3-Day Event at the age of 8, and in
the ensuing 25+ years has never lost her goal of riding for the United
States. She finished high school early in order to gain upper
level experience beyond the pacific northwest. From age 16 to 21, Amy traveled the country with two horses, competing, training with
world-class instructors, and supporting herself as a working student.
After completing college, Amy started her career as a professional firefighter which allowed her the flexibility to balance her
business
commitments with
her equestrian goals.
 She
retired from firefighting in the summer of 2006 to devote herself
entirely to riding.
Amy is based out of Mapleleaf
Eventing (at Upson Downs in Duvall, WA) a 20-stall barn she manages. She rides 4-5
horses most days and teaches many lessons. Amy also donates her time to local Pony Clubs, 4-H
groups, and up-and-coming Young Riders - giving clinics in dressage,
jumping, and horse management.
(Photo of Amy and Poggio II in
dressage, representing the USA on the 2004 Olympic Eventing Team, by Florencia Arrambide.)
Having one very talented horse is something all equestrian
competitors hope for; having the opportunity to compete multiple such
horses in a given season is the dream of a lifetime. Amy's friends,
family, and long-time instructor, Ruth Weissiger Moore of Whidbey Island,
WA, form the core of her support group. All have reached out with
extraordinary help to make Amy's journey possible. THANK YOU.
