2010 Eventing Clinics: Boyd & Silva Martin

May 29th, 30th, & 31st, 2010

ABOUT BOYD MARTIN

Boyd’s competitive successes since moving to the United States include placing second and fourth overall at the 2007 Fair Hill CCI*** and winning the 2008 Bromont CCI** in Canada. In 2009 he won the CIC*** at Jersey Fresh and the CCI*** at Fair Hill. Boyd has quickly made his mark on American eventing: in 2008 he was ranked number two on the US Eventing Association Rider of the Year Leaderboard, an impressive feat in only his second year living and competing in the United States. In 2009 he was the USEA preliminary rider of the year. Boyd's teaching style instills confidence in riders and their horses so that they can achieve their goals. Join us for a weekend of excellent eventing instruction at beginner novice through preliminary level.

ABOUT SILVA MARTIN

Silva has trained and shown with Olympian Oded Shimoni in Wellington, FL. Currently she is training with 2009 USEF Lifetime Achievement Award winner Jessica Ransehausen in Pennsylvania. In addition to her dressage students Silva’s expertise has attracted the attention of the eventing crowd, including world-class competitors Phillip Dutton and Jan Byyny. Though her talent extends to these upper level riders, Silva is just as happy to teach a child on a pony or an adult amateur on an off-the-track Thoroughbred.
