Before the 2024 Paris Olympics, I had the opportunity to sit down (on Zoom) with Mackenzie Drazan Cook and Karl Cook to gain insights into their journey as riders and business people, their passion for the sport, and their vision for the future. At the time, they were based in France close to Versailles, and had just participated in the opening ceremonies. They had no idea about what was about to come, but they were training and preparing for the Games with Karl as an alternate rider for Team USA. I had a lot of questions for them then, and I have even more now, so I am looking forward to catc ..read more

When I bought Azul in the fall of 2021, I did so with the intention that she would be the horse that would make all of my dreams come true. She was young, beautiful, well bred (and the "right" breed - Oldenburg), talented, and sweet. When I brought her home, I immediately went about moving forward to achieve all of the goals I carefully mapped out prior to her purchase. I've always been someone who strives to achieve, and riding was no different. I had a strict plan, and managed her daily routine as closely as I possibly could. If she came in with so much as a teeny bump, I cold hosed and insp ..read more

We've all seen them - the horses who just don't want to do the job. They rear, they spin, they plant their feet, they tell us in the clearest of terms that they know how: No. Most of the time it's due to physical pain, but sometimes, there can be an underlying issue of anxiety or a lack of confidence that overwhelms the horse and causes reactions of this nature.  British Showjumper and Lily Chandler (owner/operator of LC Equestrian) met such a horse in Eric (Eragon Von Der Held) when he came into her sales barn. At first, she did what most of us would do, and attempted to addres ..read more

This letter is written by Equestrian Masterclass instructor Tik Maynard with images by Impulsion Media.  Dear TomCatt, I have watched Road to the Horse for a long time, and I believe the winner is often not the one that is the most experienced, or with the best timing, or feel, or skill. There are so many other variables: the preparation, the judging, knowing the rules, luck, and of course, picking the horse.  Most of all there is the ability to not be rattled. For whatever reason I was able to get into that Zone, that Sweet Spot, that Unthinking-Place, on the first day, and to ..read more

Our team at NOËLLE FLOYD just returned from Equine Affaire, and I’m writing this on the plane, my mind still buzzing with all the conversations, ideas, and energy from the event. It was our first time sponsoring and setting up a booth here, and we couldn’t be happier that we did. This was my first time immersed in a major expo, conference, or trade show since before COVID. Seeing so many people in person again reminded me of the invaluable power of face-to-face connection, something that no amount of online interaction can quite capture. Morning Starbucks run on the way to the Expo The J ..read more
