Sponsored Eventers Jump Back Into Competition

Kentucky Equine Research-sponsored eventers Buck Davidson and Liz Halliday-Sharp had a successful return to competition over the weekend at Stable View Horse Trials in Aiken, South Carolina.

Buck came out on top in the Advanced division with Carlevo, adding just a few cross-country time penalties to their dressage score to move up from fifth to first. Buck also finished fifth in the division with Copper Beach. Jumping clean around show jumping with just time penalties on cross-country also helped Buck and Cooley Candyman jump an impressive ten places, moving from fifteenth after dressage to finish fifth in the Open Intermediate.

Buck relies on KER Sport Horse Nutrition feeds to supply nutrition that ensures his horses perform their best. “KER has always been the authority on feeding high-performance sport horses,” Buck said. “I’ve always relied on KER-formulated feeds.”

Liz Halliday-Sharp had a busy weekend, finishing with three horses in the top ten of the Advanced division. Deniro Z knocked the dust off from his quarantine-vacation to finish fourth while stablemates Cooley Quicksilver and Flash Cooley finished sixth and seventh, respectively. Liz competed in the Open Preliminary with Maryville Sir Henry in the Open Preliminary, finishing fourth in their first outing together.

Liz relies on Synovate HA® to support joint health. “My older horses have never gone better. Synovate HA smells great, and the horses seem to really enjoy it. You know if you put Synovate in their feed, they are going to eat it!” she said. Liz also uses Bio-Bloom™ PS, EO-3™, EquiShure®, Nano-Q10™, Restore® SR, and RiteTrac® to give her horses targeted nutritional support for optimal performance.
