Endurance day at Waredaca Farm’s SmartPak Equine/USEA Training Three-Day was just about perfect. A group of 37 courageous riders competed in the long format event over the weekend in late October. In the A Division, D.C. McBroom and Twain came out on top with a score of 35.3. Carrie Meehan and Blue Devil won not only the B Division, but also had the lowest scores of all three division by finishing on a 28.4. In the C Division Jamie Doolittle and A Dream Come True took home the blue ribbon with a score of 38.7. Leslie Mintz Photos.
Division B winners, Carrie Meehan and Jeff Beshear’s Blue Devil, took on the steeplechase course with exuberant style. The pair held on to their lead by putting in clear and fast rounds on every phase of endurance day and leaving all the rails in their cups during show jump. 37 riders tackled the 6th annual SmartPak Equine/USEA Training Three-Day Event at Waredaca Horse Trials in Laytonsville, MD.

Having never been to the Irish Draught Horse Society of America’s Annual Breed Show and Inspection, I didn’t know what to expect. And since I was so busy the week prior due to Playland Farm hosting another Irish Inspection, I had very little time to dwell on the hugeness of this event. The morning of departure, I simply threw some tack and essentials in the trailer and headed down Route 81. After three-and-a-half hours sardined between semis, we arrived safely in Lexington, Virginia.

“You and Toby should come to Poplar with me” my friend Lynne proposed while we were watch dressage at Feather Creek HT.
My Hubby kindly said he would look after my two other horse plus the rest of our pets, and I was able to get the time off from my job as an architect. So, I was off to Poplar with Lynne, Heather, Joni, two juniors Alexa and Rowdie and their parents.
