4 September 2010 – New Zealander Caroline Powell is poised to become the fourth rider from her country to win the Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials, the fourth leg of the HSBC FEI Classics.
The 37-year-old, who is based in Scotland, produced a foot-perfect round on the 17-year-old grey Lenamore, one of the best cross-country horses on the international circuit.
Powell has never won a CCI4* before, and she was cautious in her celebrations tonight as she does not have a Jumping fence in hand over two Britons, Oliver Townend, the defending champion on Carousel Quest, and five-times winner William Fox-Pitt, who is lying third on Seacookie.
The New Zealander had to call on all her experience to remain focused during a one-hour delay while medical staff attended to Nicola Malcolm (GBR), Powell’s near neighbour in Scotland, who was airlifted to hospital after a fall with McFly at fence 19, a hedge. Malcolm was later reported to be conscious and likely to be discharged from hospital tomorrow morning.

Devon, PA — Each year, Dressage at Devon returns as the premier dressage competition in North America. This year celebrates the 35th anniversary of this incredible dressage show, breed show and shopping experience. Along with a small staff and devoted organizing committee, hundreds of volunteers from around the world help make the show possible. These volunteers work very hard to ensure that Dressage at Devon runs smoothly, with many folks returning year after year to volunteer. An event of this caliber would not be possible without the dedication of these amazing people.
Andi Bates, from Glen Mills, PA, has been the volunteer coordinator at Dressage at Devon for the past 12 years. She began volunteering to help out a friend of hers who worked at Thorncroft Therapeutic Horseback Riding Inc., the current beneficiary of the show.

Ponies and minis are the topic of the day! Helena and Glenn are joined by three guests who raise and show Shetland Ponies and Miniature Horses. Listen in for some “small” talk…
Trigger's mare Evita foaled in August and we've named the newest member of the Freedom Fund bands "Pistol".
Introducing Pistol
One year ago this week the BLM roundup of Cloud’s herd began and 57 wild horses in Cloud’s herd lost what they value most: their freedom and their families. It was only with your help and immediate action that people working with the Cloud Foundation were able to adopt and purchase four family bands after the disastrous roundup. Because of your generosity, Pistol lives with both his mother and his father – growing up as close to wild as possible.
I first filmed Pistol’s father, Trigger, when he was just a few days old for the National Geographic special “Horses”, so it was very special to meet Pistol at this age – he looks very much like his father did! Trigger is the only offspring of the stallion, Challenger, who was struck and killed by lightning in 1999, as portrayed in Cloud: Wild Stallion of the Rockies. With such a small herd now remaining in the wild, the removal of Trigger and his band is especially detrimental to the unique Spanish genetics of the Pryor Mountain herd.
It is my hope that Pistol and his sister will be allowed to return to the wild someday and continue Challenger and Trigger’s legacy.
