Raeford, NC- - Beginning in 2010, the Carolina Horse Park plans to undertake a broad based Capital Campaign. This endeavor includes upgrades to the entire infrastructure and continued diversification in the ways the Park is utilized. In conjunction with this initiative, the Carolina Horse Park is pleased to announce Tremaine Cooper as the new Cross Country Course Designer in 2010.
Cooper, of Hardwick, MA, has been designing exemplary courses around the country for many years. His extensive resume includes Poplar Place Horse Trials (Columbus , GA), Millbrook Horse Trials (Millbrook, NY), Puhinui Horse Trials (Manukau City, NZ), Morven Park Horse Trials (Leesburg, VA) and Plantation Field International Horse Trials (Unionville, PA). Tremaine states: “I’m really excited to have the opportunity to design at the CHP and I look forward utilizing the land and great attributes it has to offer.”
The Carolina Horse Park and its Board of Directors would like to extend its utmost gratitude to John Williams for his many years of dedication and great service. Dr. M. Nixon Ellis, Chairman, Carolina Horse Park Board of Directors, adds “Many thanks to John for his long term support of the Carolina Horse Park and the many years of great cross country course design that he has given us. In turn, I want to welcome Tremaine to our team and look forward to seeing his work in the spring of 2010.”
Cooper’s first courses will be seen at the Southern Pines Horse Trials I running March 13-14, 2010.
Boyd Martin came into cross-country today in the CCI4*-S at Stable View in an enviable position, holding the top three places, and he put in three strong performances with his Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event-bound horses, finishing on top with Commando 3 (38.0), in second with Fedarman B (38.8), and in fourth with Luke 140 (40.4).
Boyd Martin has always believed in Luke 140 since he came to his barn in 2019. The fiery bay gelding has completed one five-star, in 2023 at Luhmühlen (Germany) where they were fourth, but injuries have meant he’s had to sit out a couple of seasons and miss out on selection for two Olympic Games, most recently in 2024.
