So excited to be the new owner of John’s Island! He is loving his new barn right outside of Richmond, VA and is having a blast playing in the sandbox and touring/ jumping in the open fields! 🥰 we are looking forward to getting to some shows at Deep Run this summer

This is John’s Island in the 2’6” Hunters at the Retired Racehorse Project today! So proud of how far this guy has come. I am so lucky to have been able to bring a horse my grandmother, Vivien Malloy of Edition Farm (NY), bred, sold, reclaimed and retired to begin his second career as a hunter jumper with the help of Debbie McCarthy-Connor of Phoenix Horse Farm. Thank you to ALL of our cheerleaders, including Mark Malloy for filming, my Malloy/ Edition family and Phoenix family. (If you LIKE this post you are one of them!!! - thank you!!!!)
