cover my grati- tude for the im- mense support we felt in getting us


here. Donations large and small from friends, family, sponsors, long time support- ers and friendly strangers are what made it happen. Without every single one of these donation, none of this would’ve been possible. “Completing cross-country today was easily the greatest accomplishment of my ca- reer thus far, and it was de- pendent on those who have been supporting me. Biggest of thanks to Karen and Ste- veo, the ridiculously amazing Grace, and to the best coach ever, Buck Davidson.” As of September 13, Jack was still at the hospital in England. According to Karen Fulton, “he had a similar wound to six other horses at the com- petition. It was just a little too deep and ended up nicking the joint. T ey cleaned out the joint and put a standing cast to let the fetlock heel.” Jack was scheduled to have the cast removed on September 18, and the Fultons are hoping he can return to the States shortly after that.

club taught me not just how to ride from the time I was fi ve, but how to be a horseman fi rst. It introduced me to foxhunting and gave me the opportunity of a lifetime to travel to Ire- land and ride!”


Doherty was able to hunt with Carlow Farm- er’s Hunt in Borris, County Carlow, Louth Hunt Club from the Barmeath Castle and Is- land Hunt in Ballaghkeen, County Wexford. T e group also had a private tour of the famed Coolmore Stud and attended a day of races at Punchestown Racecourse. “I hope that by shar- ing this story and a few photos of my incredible experience, that it may open the door for other young pony clubbers and horsemen curious about USPC,” Doherty added.
