Australian rider Boyd Martin took out 2nd and 4th places at the US Equestrian Federation (USEF) CCI*** Eventing Championship held over 18-21 October during the 19th Dansko Fair Hill International Festival in the Country.

Boyd placed 2nd place riding Ying-Yang-Yo on a score of 50.5 and was 4th with Neville Bardos on 52.4. First and 3rd placings went to former Australian Olympian Phillip Dutton, riding The Foreman to 1st place (46.4) and Woodburn to 3rd (50.9). The win was Phillip’s fourth at Fair Hill and his first riding as an American citizen.

Boyd has been training with Phillip since early this year and says the benefits of his decision to base himself with Phillip are already showing. ‘Coming over here to train with Phillip is part of my plan to hopefully make the Australian 2008 Olympic Games team’ said Boyd. ‘Phillip has turned pretty good horses into excellent horses and the results of working with him were evident this weekend.’

Boyd was pleased with his horses’ performances over the weekend and thinks that both have a bright future ahead of them.
