Kate just rang from Maryland, after returning from watching the WEG X-country in the Eventing in Kentucky. Thoroughly motivated after watching her friend/mentor Boyd Martin who finished clear, and the best of the American team (his mum is American which gave him American citizenship) and equivalent to the best Aussie score, gained by Stewart Tinney. It must be significant that the best American/Aussie trained with Heath Ryan, and the top NZ-er trained with Kevin McNab, also trained by Heath!!! It's not just his motivation but his drive, rigorous attention to the horse's management and well-being, and attention to detail...in training, feed, etc.
The Yanks finished 4th overall, the Aussies last(14th)...after extraordinary bad luck; Paul Tapner's No.1 favoured mount pulled up sore on x-ctry, Megan Jones' horse did not start after succumbing to travel sickness.

Welcome to the National American Saddlebred Horse Society blog
WELCOME to our blog.....
We will eventually be utilising this blog as our main news page, which will be linked to from our main website http://www.americansaddlebred.org/
It is currently able to be used by NASHS members by invitation only and will be well moderated.
However, due to the nature of the internet it is still able to be viewed by others so please note: DO NOT post any information or pictures you would not liked viewed by other outside parties.
All comments will be viewed prior to posting so please keep the content clean, polite and non-political.
Any comments found to be defamatory and/or not in the best interests of the club or the breed will be deleted immediately. A series of warnings will be issued to the person and any continuation of the same behaviour will result in a ban on posting and a membership status review.
Please bear with us as we become familiar with the blog attributes and eventually in time more pages of interest will be added.
This will not replace the website due to it's obvious restrictions, so please refer to the website for any other information, downloads etc.
In order to be fair to all members we request that you try to keep photos to a minimum of 1-2 per post.
The HOME page is the only page where you can actually post to. So, other pages such as club announcements will remain as a stand alone information source.
Thankyou, Regards Admin.
