Real Men Jump Bareback!!

Ryan made yet another grand appearance in this year's bareback Puissance class, featured during the lunch time entertainment at Plantation Field International CIC!!  He rode alongside other brave competitors such as Caroline Martin, Jennie Brannigan and Ashley Leith.

It was truly a ride to the finish, with the wall getting stacked up to 6'2" at the final height!!  Ryan rode a really quick & handy horse of Mary Hazard's, whose jumping style proved competitive, but in the end, Jennie edged out the competition.  I have to hand it to Ryan, b/c he kept his cool & his shirt on!!

Enjoy the slideshow.

In other news, Ryan has also imported yet couple of young horses from Ireland.  Marco is a 6 year old and Bennett is a 4 year old (pictured here in transit), both by the number one jumping sire in Ireland, Sarco.  Congratulations to Chemine Evans and Bennett Creek Farm on the purchase of Bennett!!
