I'd like to thank Bob Blanchette for settling in Ocala and agreeing to ride Oisin over fences! We met Bobbie through mutual friends about two-years ago and caught up again earlier this year having learned that he has set up shop in Ocala and just 20 minutes drive from home. This month Oisin got his first taste being back in the jumper field after two-years away. The photos below are of Bob and Oisin's second ride together as a team over low fences as they get to know one another. A typical muggy Florida morning - but they look like they're enjoying themselves!

Bob is pleased that this stallion takes him to the fence, is enthusiastic about his jumping, and listens well to the aids so is easy to extend and collect as needed between fences. Bob's European style of riding suits Oisin to a tee! We hope to see these two in the show ring together over the Winter season.
