Waterford Eventing

One stall coming available… text Maren for details!

I haven’t been shy about saying that I’m living the busiest 2 weeks of the year… for the people who haven’t heard me complain… in the last 2 weeks I have spent 5 days at 3 different horse shows, plus one day xc schooling, one day watching the YEH symposium, one day horse shopping, and every other days teaching and prepping for the previously mentioned events. Oh, and Turner got gelded.

Appropriately, I am physically exhausted. I have transversed central Florida by truck and trailer, and marched around courses on foot. My arthritic ankle is wrecked and my terrier (Fris!) is wishing for an apartment life.

But today was culmination of the 2 weeks of craziness… the last day of Rocking Horse 3. Every horse and rider rose to the occasion- and the courses weren’t set to be easy- personal records were smashed, and young horses received the foundation to grow with confidence. And not one rider made a “mental mistake”.

On top of all that growth we might have found the ideal home for our perfect sales horse and we might be bringing home an adorable client prospect.

I met a few new friends, and caught up with some of the best oldies. And I could count on the people in my barn to pick up my slack.

This might have been the hardest I’ve ever worked, but I can also say I’m going to bed feeling happy and fulfilled. Life is a gift and the days go by too quickly. And maybe I’m writing this post to just mark down and remember what may have been possibly the best 2 weeks of my life… a reminder that the hard work pays off… and maybe I’m writing
this to have something to look back on when the stars aren’t quite so perfectly aligned.

Mr Brightside

“Oakley”
2019
15.2 thick grey gelding
USEF, USHJA, USEA registered
Microchipped

Oakley is a registered Connemara imported from Ireland. He has a green passport and confirmed N/n for hoof wall disease.

Imported as a 4yo, Oakley was ridden by a teen in the H/J world. After 2 years he was outgrown.

As a 6yo, he transitioned to Eventing with Waterford Eventing and has been thriving! Less that one year later he completed his first BN recognized (all with an amateur)

Oakley lives outside, barefoot, no supplements, no maintenance.

No prep at shows. Perfect trailer loader and ties to the trailer.

Loves to trail ride… alone or with groups.

Loves water- swims and can be ridden ba****ck.

Does obstacles including bridges, teeter-totters, tunnels.

This guy is an overgrown pony kick ride type. Scope for novice, and perfectly suited to beginners or nervous AAs. Does not need to be ridden everyday. Same horse everyday without needing to stay in a program.

Currently priced low to mid 5s but not for long, as his show record grows. Located in Geneva, Florida at Waterford Eventing.

Check out his personal page for lots of pics and videos.
