#17 - Eventing Power


Team #17 - Eventing Power -  Blaine Hendrickson - Wisconsin, USA

I started eventing with my gelding Theo 3 years ago and recently retired him. My mare and younger gelding will be filling his spot going forward. I will have a busy summer with riding my young horse Duke and keeping Theo moving still. Jane my mare will be going to competitions all summer and I hope Duke will make it to a Dressage show by the end of the year for entry level. Lots of trail rides and maybe some camping could get thrown in there as well. It should be a great summer!

Team #16 - Cindiniobe7 - Cindi Tuite - New Hampshire - USA

Niobe recently came into my world thanks to Betsy Lirakis from Springfield Vermont. Niobe is the sweetest most terrific 11 year old mare. My goal is to do a lot of riding and I venture to say master bareback riding her. She also drives. Such fun for my equine partner and myself. Luv this mare to the moon and back!!

Percy and I are brand new as a team. He came to me underweight on Christmas Eve so we've been working on putting some pounds on him. I am looking forward to really getting to know him and see how we progress throughout the Derby. I am an older rider and committed to working with this boy and both of us having adventures and a good time!

I am a 24 year old with a bachelors of science in equine studies and a certification in equine sports massage therapy. Kai is a curly mustang filly that I adopted from the BLM in April of 2015. My goals with this derby include building up a solid foundation of ground work for later training. This will include desensitization, leading, tying, lunging, picking up and holding feet,round penning, introduction of new tack, and some at liberty work.
