Winter Facilities
Aiken, South Carolina
My winter home is Aiken, South Carolina, from January through March. The temperate climate with weather equivalent to Sydney's winter, which is ideal for eventing, not too hot, not too cold. In Aiken, the ground is a perfect mix of sand and soil so it doesn't freeze, and when it rains the water simply drains away. So that's why I pack up 10 horses, 3 people and 2 dogs to make the 11 hour drive south.
This last winter was particularly successful for me with wins and placings on all of the horses and my students also winning and placing, I was very proud of our efforts! Another highlight for me was coming 3rd in the Aiken Mini Prix on Mario, beaten only by a couple of experienced Grand Prix horses!
