Throwback Thursday Presented by the Endowment Trust: Horse and Rider of the Year, 1983
In 1984, Bruce Davidson was awarded the Windy Acre Farm Trophy for Rider of the Year for the second year in a row, following a successful eventing season in 1983 on Pilot Kid, J.J. Babu, and Dr. Peaches. At that point in his career, he had won Burghley and the World Championships twice, and had been riding for the USET for over a decade. The award was made doubly special because a horse that he produced and rode up through the levels, Pilot Kid, was awarded Horse of the Year as well. Read the full article here.
From the award announcement:
"Bruce is a sensitive rider who instills confidence in his young horses by starting them slowly as youngsters, and never overfacing them. He spends ample time schooling his young horses at home over a variety of small obstacles and taking time at the lower levels so they are mentally and physically prepared for bigger competition later on."

Nailing No-Stirrup November with Ride iQ
Every now and then, a video goes viral on social media of a rider heroically going around a show jumping or cross-country course with one, or no, stirrups. There’s a great one of Mark Todd going around Badminton with a broken stirrup, and you just wonder how on earth a course that difficult could be jumped like that—because it’s hard enough with two stirrups!
