Great Article About Courageous Comet and Becky Holder in Blood Horse
This article about Courageous Comet was published in The Blood-Horse of Sept. 18, 2010
One of Becky Holder’s all-time favorite moments aboard her retired racehorse-turned-eventing star Courageous Comet was his elated reaction upon completing his dressage test at the Kentucky Horse Park’s 2008 Rolex Kentucky Three-Day event.
“It was in front of a capacity crowd in the new grandstand, and he scored 39 penalties (low scores are the best in eventing), so he took over the lead,” said Holder, 40, who ultimately placed second in that year’s competition aboard the big gray horse, stamping a ticket to that year’s Olympics (the equestrian games were held in Hong Kong). “He stopped at the end of the task, and I saluted, and the crowd just went crazy.”

The 2020 USEA FEH Central Championships Crown the First Round of FEH Champions
The 2020 United States Eventing Association (USEA) Future Event Horse (FEH) Central Championships took place yesterday, September 24 at Haras Hacienda in Magnolia, Texas. With four new champions crowned, this marked one of the first USEA Championships to be held in 2020. Jayne Lloyd, the organizer of the Championships shared, “Everyone had a nice day with their youngsters. The quality of horses is getting better and better. Haras [Hacienda] is a lovely facility to put this on – great stabling, great footing, all indoor because we’ve had some bad weather the past few days. But overall, I think it all went really well.”
