looking for a good equitation horse to do the talent search fi nals. “He was a big time eq- uitation horse and we did the fi nals, hunter derbies and even some jumpers for practice,” Pease explained. In 2015 Cal had what many felt might be a career ending injury and needed time off .


“We thought he’d


have to be retired, but he came back strong.” Now living in eventing coun- try in the heart of Area II, Pease decided to give eventing a try and found out quickly that Cal loved it. “I really had no idea if he’d jump a ditch or go through water, but he’s been great!” At the start of the 2018 season, Pease’s number one goal was to make it back to the AECs and jump clean. With a few Beginner Novice runs and a move up to Novice, Pease shipped Cal to Colorado and put in a dressage score of 24.5 to lead the Beginner Novice Amateur division. From there, Pease just focused on jumping clean cross-country and the pair did so with ease, maintaining their lead. She didn’t let the pressure of being the leader going into show jumping aff ect her, as the pair once again jumped clean to take home the win. “Show jumping is our best phase, so we both felt quite good going into that fi nal day,” she said. “I’m just so proud of him.” Now back in Maryland, Pease has set her sights on a few more goals before the 2018 sea- son is over. “We’ve been doing classical dres- sage as well this season and will compete in the USDF regionals in October. I hope we can qualify for nationals,” she stated. She also has her sights set on the Novice T ree-Day on their home turf at Waredaca. “Because of his age and his old injury, I really don’t know how much more time he’ll be able to give me, but for now he’s doing great and I’m looking forward to fi n- ishing out the season.”

T e group recently received a $50,000 grant to be used to help keep human and pet food inaccessible to the wild horses. “It just seems like now the public is engaged and they’re ready to receive the message and change their behavior so we’re trying to work on it now,” said Assateague Alliance Outreach coordinator Ashley Kozlowski. “Our short term goal is for food to become inaccessible to horses with our long term goal of having the horses no longer associate humans with food.”
