text: After getting to know the gelding through the national Training through Intermediate levels in the winter and early spring, they made their FEI debut in the CCI2*-S at Fair Hill in April. They were later awarded one of the inaugural Bromont Rising grants which assisted them in completing the CCI3*-L at the MARS Bromont CCI Three-Day Event in June. Mike made his Advanced debut with Eddie at Millbrook Horse Trials this August and most recently the pair placed 12th in the CCI4*-S at Great Meadow. In the hunt for their five-star qualification, they’re looking ahead to Fair Hill International and perhaps also the Ocala Jockey Club Three-Day Event this fall.
  But with great opportunity, comes great responsibility (or something like that, as the saying goes) so Mike will be need to take financing these upper-level goals into his own hands. He is doing that by offering an annual buy-in to Club Steady Eddie, wherein members will get regular updates from Mike as well as access to their training at the farm and at competitions, plus an all important Steady Eddie hat!
