It was a strong weekend for The Frame at CDCTA, especially on the heels of a busy and productive Spring session of Backing Horses with The Frame.
Martin kicked things off with Frame Nantucket S, finishing 3rd in Open Training in his first run at the level this season. It’s been rewarding to watch Tuck continue to grow into a confident, capable event horse. For breeders looking to add size, step, and elegance, frozen straws are available for approved mares. What About Jack, owned by Tara Bruer, put in a solid performance to finish 4th in Open Novice 1 in his debut at the level. He continues to show the same rideability and consistency we value both in sport and in the breeding shed.
Martin also piloted sale horse Coco Chanel to a 4th place finish in Open Beginner Novice 1. This mare is continuing to come into her own—showing real quality in the dressage and an incredibly keen ride out on cross country.
Assistant Barn Manager Alese Rinker took Kings of Leon, owned by EquiSales LLC, around the Open Beginner Novice for a 5th place finish, while Lizzy Aksten and her own On Top secured 2nd in Open Novice.
A great weekend across the board!
