Poggio II - "Pogi"


Poggio II is a 16h 1992 bay WA-bred Thoroughbred gelding (Polynesian Flyer x Waves Club). He had a short career on the race track and as a trail horse horse in the Cascade Mountains before a friend of Amy's, Janet Von Pressentin, discovered him. In 1999, Pogi competed for the United States in the Pan American Games in Canada, and in 2002 his cross-country ride in very wet conditions at the Rolex CCI**** brought him not only the 3rd place ribbon, but also the award for the “Best Conditioned Horse”.

 

Pogi and Amy have since been named to two Olympic Teams and two World Equestrian Games Teams. They've brought home a Team Gold Medal and an Individual Bronze Medal from the World Games, plus a Team Bronze Medal from the Olympic Games. In 2006, they won the Chronicle of the Horse Eventing Horse of the Year title, Eventing Horseman of the Year title, and the USEA Lady Rider of the Year title.
 

At the 2009 Rolex Kentucky CCI****, Pogi was officially retired in a touching ceremony. In addition to Amy, Greg (Amy's husband), Mark Hart (co-owner), and Allyson Green (long-time groom) were in attendance to celebrate the incredible career of this very special horse.

Leyland - "Leyland"




Leyland is a 16.2h 2000 bay Thoroughbred gelding owned by Elizabeth Nicholson of Michigan. Leyland has personality to spare and is affectionately known as "Trouble Tryon" at home. He is an exceptionally fast learner and continues to show Amy that he has what it takes to play with the big boys.

In 2006, he won his first one-star at Poplar Place and moved up the levels showing all the right instincts. In 2008, he won the Jersey Fresh CCI*** and
took home the Jack LeGoff Trophy in the Advanced division at the American Eventing Championships. In 2009, he debuted at the four-star level at Rolex, finishing in 13th place. He is definitely one to continue to watch. Photo by Joshua Walker.

Coal Creek - "Devon"

 


Devon is a 16.2h, 2000 dark bay Thoroughbred gelding owned by the Sullivan family of Oregon. Devon is a true gentleman and one of the sweetest horses you will ever meet! He has an incredible mind, is a lovely mover, and can jump a house.

He finished out his first upper level season in 2006 with a 2nd place at the Galway Downs CCI* (CA). In the spring of 2007 he placed 5th at the Red Hills CIC**. In the fall of 2008 he capped the year off with a win at the Fair Hill CCI***.

Nicodemus - "Nico"




The newest addition to Team Tryon is Nicodemus. He's a 2002 German Warmblood gelding purchased from Sabrina Glaser of Canada. Nico previously completed a CCI** and Amy is excited about the partnership and has big plans for him.

They did the 2009 winter training session with Capt. Phillips and things went very well.
