Carrig View Wins Division 2 Three Day Event

Already soundly involved in the jumper world, the Sweelys are beginning to make their mark in eventing. Beshear also rides several other young eventing horses owned by Acorn Hill.

Carrig View competed at intermediate at the Kentucky Classic in early September, but Morven marks his first championship victory as an eventing horse. “Right from the fence, he just ate it up,” Bershear said. “I actually finished the course a lot faster than I expected. I’ve ridden a few courses recently that this horse has not felt as confident on, but he was so confident on this course.”

The pair added no faults to their final score after the cross-country and turned in a clear round in show jumping. I had to keep telling myself there is no reason to worry because this horse knows his job better than I do,” said Beshear of her show jumping. “He doesn’t like to touch anything. The only concern I really had was if he was going to be tired.”

Beshear said the Sweelys deserve a lot of credit for having patience. “ They really believed in this horse. When he started eventing he was not the most confident and not the most straight forward, but they’ve really given me a lot of time and support to get him to this point.”
