It was a fantastic show in Miami this weekend with Calgary Tame and Bisquetta.

As part of the Rome Gladiators Global Champions Tour Team with Lorenzo De Luca, Laura and Calgary Tame jumped a swift clear in the first 1.55 GCT competition to finish 4th and then backed this performance up with another clear round, this time on Bisquetta, to finish 3rd.

These performances, along with Lorenzo's clear round put the Rome Gladiators into the top podium position. 

Thank you to ClipMyHorseTV for powering the Rome Gladiators.

Cherry Knoll Farm's Cedric has been inducted into Kentucky Horse Park's Showjumping Hall of fame.

The Hall of Fame was established in 1987 and formally opened in 1989 to recognise legends of the men, women and horses who have made great contributions to the sport.

Cedric, who amassed over $2 million in prize money,  helped Laura and the U.S. win a team gold medal at the 2008 Olympic Games in Hong Kong. 

His partnership with Laura lasted more than 11 years, producing 81 clear and 45 double-clear rounds in major competitions of $100,000 or more.

Cedric is now enjoying retirement with his old U.S team mate, Lauren Hough's Quick Study.

Laura told Chronicle of the Horse:

“Cedric has been the horse of a lifetime for me. He has been incredible, and I’ve learned not to give up and to persevere. It took a long time as he was a little bit slower to develop than your normal grand prix horse. He’s been amazing, and I think I’ll never have another horse like him.”

THE HORSEWARE HISTORY
Horseware started with a small team, in Dundalk, Ireland in 1985. After months of research and hand-stitching the prototype of the now iconic Rambo Original was born, setting the standard for modern rug design. Since then we have grown to become the world’s most trusted producer of horse rugs.

Founded by Tom and Carol MacGuinness, their determination to produce a rug that didn’t leak, didn’t make the horse sweat and didn’t slip led to the creation of the first fully waterproof and breathable turnout that really worked.

Today, the Rambo range is still made in the same town in Ireland under Tom’s watchful eye and with the same attention to detail and high quality material that we prided ourselves on in 1985. Horseware are constantly striving to produce the best they can and have grown into a leading manufacturer of clothing for horses and riders. They never stop evolving; they’re always seeking out untrodden paths, pushing boundaries and finding new challenges.

"We believe that because we create, we innovate. And through innovation we aim to make a difference to the lives of you and your horses."

Supracor Saddle Pads feature Stimulite® honeycomb, a revolutionary cushioning material that has been proven to be highly effective in preventing and healing pressure sores among wheelchair users, and cancer and burn patients.

Stimulite honeycomb distributes weight uniformly over your horse’s back to relieve pressure while providing exceptional stability. The honeycomb cells contour and flex with your horse's movements to absorb shock and prevent the saddle pad from slipping. Tiny perforations in the honeycomb cell walls circulate air and evaporate moisture so your horse's back stays cooler and more comfortable.

Easy to care for, Stimulite honeycomb is machine washable and dryer safe; or simply hose off and shake dry.

Extensively tested by professional riders, Supracor's innovative product line is specifically designed to accommodate each riding discipline: English, Hunter/Jumper, Dressage, Western, Barrel Racing, Reining and Roping, Endurance and Racing. We also offer a Bareback and Training Pad that is ideal for developing your "seat" and for therapeutic riding.

Founded in 1914 in Milwaukee, WI by James Walsh, the company grew to prominence by developing distinctive products like the innovative Walsh No-Buckle Harness. The introduction of the harness made field work much easier for farmers as well as those who used horses for other jobs. James scientifically tested his leather harness the same as steel mills tested for tensile strength in order to prove that a Walsh Harness would outlast the competitor so frequently. He continued to innovate and modify his designs to accommodate modern ideas as well as demonstrate the money saving investment on purchasing a harness that would need far less repair as it aged.
Walsh continued to serve the community as automobiles took over and the horse and plow era became the mainstream. We continued to prosper by expanding our reach to many forms of leather goods that serve not only the equine but the general community as well. The in the 1940’s, Walsh diversified into the Standardbred Racing market and grew into the world’s largest harness maker. We are proud that we have continued to retain that title and service racing enthusiasts across the globe. The original leather harness have technologically advanced with the times by using state of the art materials proven to last longer with low maintenance. We continue the tradition started by James Walsh in providing the industry with established techniques that outlast the competition.
In 1995, Walsh introduced the Equestrian Catalog. Expanding to an entirely new community in the hunter/jumpers. With the attitude that the Equestrian field may not know us, Walsh continued to prosper with their entirely new line. We never changed our standard of perfection using the finest materials with old world craftsmanship which is why Walsh has become a leader in the equine industry. We continue to expand to and are determined to make our experience, imagination and know how work for you in the equestrian field.
International sponsored riders, canine products, hunter/jumper training equipment and much more came onto the scene in 2012. Quality, Reliability, and Durability is a point of pride for us which is why we take care in fashioning our new ventures to not only innovate within the industries we are involved with but to also expand our reach so that others may also indulge in Walsh products. We will continue to contribute to winning performances globally and we couldn’t be more thrilled to celebrate 100 years with all the Walsh enthusiasts. Thank you for your continued support!
