Ashley Fleischhacker
and
Sharn Wordley
are getting mar-
ried – which is why Ashley was spotted in New York City trying on
Vera Wang
wedding dresses.
We can’t wait to see the beauti-
ful bride!
It’s the luck of the Irish, as Irish
riders continue to dominate the
Grand Prix in Lake Placid. This
year,
Paul O’Shea
won the first
week’s $75,000 Equine Insur-
ance Services/Great American
Grand Prix of Lake Placid and
Kevin Babington
won the sec-
ond week’s $100,000 Woodlea
Farms Grand Prix. Last year,
Darragh Kenny
won both
Grand Prix, and in 2010 and
2011, the first week’s Grand
Prix was won by Darragh and
Jonathan McCrea
, making it
six wins for Irish riders in the last
eight Grand Prix in Lake Placid!
Maybe it’s that green grass field
they ride on!
Speaking of the Grand Prix in
Lake Placid, it was nice to see a
couple of really well liked riders
do well.
Heather Caristo Wil-
liams
was in the ribbons both
weeks, coming in third the first
week and eighth the second on
Evening Star.
Hillary Simpson
finished sixth in the $100,000
class on
Nopus Du Gue Jou-
bert.
Way to go, girls!

Longwood Farm South
in Ocala, Florida is
continuing to grow after all these years. Once the
premier training facility for eventers and the USET,
Longwood has added a huge Grand Prix ring, a hunt-
er derby field, and soon to be finished a polo field!
The facility hosts all kinds of horse competitions and
is a great place to visit for both you and your horse.
Check out
Longwood Farm South
when you can,
with that big of an expansion it has to be quite a site!
