Home side rider Boyd Martin scored an emotional win in the big money showcase eventing competition in the USA last weekend. He took top spot in the Grand Prix Eventing at Bruce’s Field in Aiken, South Carolina, on Fedarman B, who had belonged to Annie Goodwin, who died in a cross-country schooling accident last summer.

Fedarman B, known as “Bruno”, now belongs to the Annie Goodwin Syndicate and Boyd – who used to coach Annie – took over the ride in the autumn of 2021.
