2010 Maryland Hunt Cup [09:36]
The pinnacle of steeplechase racing in the US: the Maryland Hunt Cup. There are 22 solid fences, and some appear to be more that 5 feet high, on this bruising 4 mile race for a $75000 purse. Grand National winner "Across The Sky" came across the pond to compete, and lead almost the whole way until a refusal with just a few fences to go, allowing "Twill Do" to win. It appears to me that no horse or rider was seriously hurt, but some of the jockeys took a little long to get up. That's gotta hurt. I wonder if they could do better with those new inflatable air vests. I've been riding a former timber racer for several years now, and I was very curious to see the world he came from. He most certainly did not compete at this level. Shot with a Lumix GH1 at 720/60P, 45-200 mm lens, except at fence 6 which was done with a Sanyo FH1 at 1080/60P. Thanks to JB for camera work.

Elite Event Horse Auction 2010 Callum O'Connor [00:57]
A half brother by the same Stallion Herios as Killian OConnor. Just like his brothers. Athletic type with super ride-ability. George has an extremely easy-going temperament that will allow the use of all that talent. Already possesses exceptional rhythm on the flat and over fences with stunning jumping technique. Absolutely ideal for someone needing honest and reliable jumping but wanting a quality package. No job too hard and the skys the limit.

Sony's first race.wmv [05:30]
Visona Rose had her first race on 12th April 2010, she went out hot favourite after winning a trial against 2 other horses by 10 - 15 lengths.... Unfortunately she got stuck on the fence in the soft sand and only managed a 4th, but for her first race she did very well, look out next time she races..... Visona Rose aka Sony, is by Niello out of our Flying Spur mare Southern Saint, she has a beautiful 1/2 brother by Dance Hunter, he is a stunner and is going to be a big grey like his dad who unfortunately died during his first season. Dance Hunter was by Lion Hunter and this boy is going to be a winner too like his sister.
