About:
"Mikki" is the newest addition to the HS Eventing team and has quickly become one of Liz's top horses. After being beautifully produced by another top rider, Liz took the reins to sell him but quickly realized how much talent he has. Since acquiring the ride, Liz had four consecutive wins with him at the Bromont CCI2*L, Chattahooche Hills Intermediate, Rebecca Farm CCI4*S, and the FEI Eventing Nations Cup - Bromont CCIO4*S. He finished the 2022 season in the top 5 at the FEI Eventing Nations Cup - Boekelo CCIO4*L.

This is a top young horse for the future with incredible results to his name already. In 2018 alone he won 6 events in England and Europe, including two international 2* titles and a bronze medal at the Six-Year-Old World Championships in France. Billy successfully stepped up to CCI3* level in 2019 and still has yet to have a single FEI cross country jump penalty. His 2019 highlights included a second place finish at the Ballindenisk CCI3*-S in September and a Silver Medal at the Le Lion d’Angers Seven-Year-Old CCI3*-L World Young Horse Championships. He also received the Connaught Grant in December, which is given by the USEA to a horse in the U.S. that is seen as a potential candidate to represent Team USA on an international level. He moved up to the Advanced level in February of 2020 and stepped up to the 4* level in 2021 where he picked up a 4* win at the Jersey Fresh International and finished in 3rd at the inaugural Land Rover Kentucky Three Day Event CCI4*S. 2022 brought "Billy" a bit of a modified season that still include several very impressive accomplishments includnig a 7th place finish at the The Fork CCI4*S and a 3rd place finish in the CCI4*S at the Tryon International Spring Three-Day Event.
The future is bright for this talented horse. Owned by The Monster Partnership (Rob Desino, Chris Desino, Renee Lane, Deborah Halliday).

This unique and very talented horse has been a part of the HS Eventing Team from the beginning of his Eventing career and has had an incredible rise to the top! After a very successful 2018 which saw him win his first CCI3*L and also finish 7th in the 7-year-old CCI3*L World Championships in France, he kicked off 2019 with a bang, winning his very first Advanced and finishing second at the Ocala International CCI3*L. He was then named as the Traveling Reserve for Team USA at the Pan American Games in Lima, Peru. He finished out the year by finishing in the Top 10 at the Millstreet CCI4*S and competing at the Boekelo CCIO4*L Nation’s Cup on Team USA. In 2020, he won the Pine Top Advanced class and had multiple top 4* finishes at Great Meadow, Plantation Field, and Galway Downs International. He picked up his first CCI4* win at Chatt Hills in April of 2021 and completed his first 5* at the Land Rover Kentucky Three Day Event! 2022 was a big year for him with highlights including winning the Land Rover Kentucky CCI4*S and Chattahooche Hills Advanced, a top 5 finish at the Luhmuhlen CCI5*-L, another CCI4*S win at the Great Meadow International and rounding out the year in 5th place at the Plantation Field CCI4*S.

Another talented youngster! I am very excited about this horse and his first season in the US included 9 wins ranging from the Training level when he first arrived, through Modified and Preliminary. He finished in 2nd at the Great Meadow CCI2*S and capped the year off with a first place finish at the Tryon International CCI1*L. He has all the attributes that you would look for in a top athlete and who surely has a bright future ahead in Eventing.

That year, he won his first CCI2*-S at Red Hills International, in July won his first CCI2*-L (!) and later would finish in 2nd at his first CCI3*-S at Great Meadow and was 4th at Plantation Field in the CCI3*-S before picking up a top 8 finish in the CCI3*-L at Hagyard Midsouth. After stepping up to the Advanced level in the winter of 2021, he finished in 6th at the Chatt Hills 4*S in April. 2020 was focused on solidifying his confidence at the 4* level which included a 7th place finish at the Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event CCI4*S. Both Liz and his owners are very excited to watch this horse grow!
