Galway Downs International!

The weather on both coasts has been tremendously unusual lately, with an epic snowstorm on the east coast and an equally epic amount of rain at Galway Downs! The massive amounts of rain brought back memories of Fair Hill 2009, and it was a tough weekend for both the riders and the vendors exhibiting at Galway.
Barbara Crabo Celebrating in the Rain!
Competing in such weather conditions on the west coast can be extremely challenging to riders who are accustom to dry footing. It presents a whole new set of challenges for the horses, who become much more sore in such deep conditions. Tom spent most of his time in the stabling area treating horses with sore backs and fetlocks and catering to his own competition horse, RevitaVet Capato, who was running in his first CCI 1*. RevitaVet was in heavy use this weekend and was able to help several competitors in all 3 FEI divisions prepare their horses for the jog after completing a tough XC.
James Alliston on Jumbo's Jake
James Alliston (pictured above) had an enormously successful weekend with wins in both the CCI1* on Mojo and CCI3* on Jumbo's Jake, and a 2nd in the CCI2* on Tivoldi (by .4 points).  Barb Crabo also had a winning streak taking first in the CCI1* Steeple Chase on Over Easy and 3rd in the CCI3* riding Eveready II.
Tom, Robert Kellerhouse
Young California Rider Maxance McManamy (pictured above) continued to prove she is a real talent for the future by finishing 3rd overall from a field of 29 starters in the CCI2*. She was awarded a RevitaVet system for having the best CCI2* Young Rider score.  RevitaVet Capato also came in a very respectable 10th place out of a field of 45 horses in the CCI 1*!  FULL EVENT RESULTS
