Revelations

Don’t you hate when life gets in the way of your riding?  I’ve been defending a trial for one of my firm’s municipal clients which means, essentially, that I’ve been living at the office.  Now that the worst of it is over, I’ve come to some shocking revelations: 1.  I have a horse!  He’s really great, too.  Almost forgot about him…. 2.  I have a blog!  Two blogs, actually.  And there’s been nothing but tumbleweeds rolling around on here the past few weeks.  Sorry about that, I hope no one has dust allergies. 3.  It’s summer!  I was having trouble determining the season given that I’ve been living in air conditioning and under flourescent lights for three weeks. Tucker eyes his saddle suspiciously… vaguely recalling its purpose  This weekend, once my eyes adjusted to the daylight, I finally got to spend some real quality time with my horse, other than the hour or so I’ve been able to sneak in to check on him over the past three weeks.  (I’ve been told by a few people who drive pick-up trucks that Tucker has been coming to the fenceline expectantly when they pull in, hoping it was me, which is basically just the saddest and sweetest thing I’ve ever heard). I’m happy to report that Tucker was really super this weekend!  Even after three weeks off, he wasn’t spooky or fresh or tense when I rode him yesterday, just lovely and forward and relaxed.  I lunged Saturday, and while he started off playing a bit, he settled right down in a few minutes, kept one ear trained on me, and responded to all my voice commands, which was a good sign.  My fingers are tightly crossed that the Ulcer Gard is working, and it will be the solution to all the ridiculous spooking and carryings-on as of late.  I don’t think I can say for sure until I’ve had a few more good rides, which I’m planning to do this week.   We now have a new goal, which is to determine whether my horse is, in fact, pregnant, or whether some of this can be shed away with a few weeks of exercise: I swear I saw the baby kick….

In the unique and challenging sport of combined dr In the unique and challenging sport of combined driving, Jacob Arnold has proven himself to be a bona fide star. It’s been said that success develops from a recipe based on hard work, perseverance, learning and sacrifice, paired with a love of what one is doing. Since the time he was a boy, Jacob has had the right combination of all of those ingredients, which have culminated in a meteoric rise to stardom.

Beginning his career as a Junior, Jacob earned the coveted @usequestrian Junior Equestrian of the Year award in 2011. Since then, he has taken the combined driving world by storm, competing successfully in four @fei_global World Championships. He also won the USEF Advanced Pair Horse National Championship in 2020 and 2021, among other victories—all before the age of 28, in a sport that has historically been dominated by older drivers. Last September, he placed 12th—the highest of any American driver—at the 2021 FEI Driving World Championship for Pairs in a field of over 100 top-level drivers.
