Ringside Chat With: Boyd Martin

It’s been a slightly less busy show season for one of eventing’s busiest top riders—not only did the pandemic lead to a slew of cancellations, but Boyd Martin is also recovering from some injuries and taking things just a little bit slower. As he’s easing back into the full swing of competition, he’s not riding quite as many horses at each event but still enjoying lots of success.

Martin won the Stable View Oktoberfest CCI3*-S (South Carolina) on Sept. 26 on Fernhill Prezley, a 10-year-old Irish Sport Horse-Oldenburg gelding (Aldatus Z—Killerisk Diamond, Glidawn Diamond) owned by Nancy Hathaway and started by Heidi White, and he also placed fourth on Penhill Celtic, an 8-year-old Irish Sport Horse (Je T’aime Flamenco—Norway Maid, Coevers Diamond Boy) owned by Lauren Burnell and started on the West Coast by Rebecca Braitling.
