Old Tavern Horse Trials

It’s been an incredible couple of weeks for Stephen Bradley Eventing, filled with outstanding performances!

Two weekends ago at Unionville International, Brooke Burchianti and Cooley Space Grey secured a stellar fifth-place finish in the CCI4-S, while Rebecca Lee and Elton B showcased their prowess with a fantastic fourth place in the CCI1-S-A.

At the Marlborough Starter Horse Trials, Brittany had some great rides. And she ended the weekend with a second place in Training Horse with Island Nominee and fifth place with Rosie in Beginner Novice.

I’m thrilled also to announce that Katherine Rizzo made a triumphant return to the show ring at the Marlborough Starter Horse Trials after overcoming a broken foot. She finished fourth on Red in Introductory.

Out at Old Tavern Horse Trials, Jeannette Lussi and Rock’N’Ranger secured a fantastic win in Senior Novice Rider. Congratulations to Erin Murphy who finished with a fourth place with Hemisphere in Open Beginner Novice and fifth place with Traditional Hat Man. And finally big shout out to Molly Sherman and Winsome’s third place in Preliminary Rider!

I was also out at Old Tavern with Peter Foley’s Boston, and I must say, Boston put in some confident work. It’s a privilege to work with such a talented horse.

I want to express my sincere gratitude to all the show staff and volunteers who make these events possible. Your hard work and dedication do not go unnoticed.

To all of Team SSB, I applaud your unwavering commitment and the remarkable support you offer each other!!!
