Ocala, Fl: Cathy Blackmon’s vet, Kirsten Tilloston, did a write up of the boys (WH Top Gun, Foothills Field Marshall, and Hideaway’s Special Delivery) on her website. The “boys” are a family affair of sorts with Top Gun and Field Marshall being ridden by Elliott Blackmon and Special being ridden by Mom, Cathy Blackmon. Here is what Kirsten had to say:
“Here are the Blackmon Girls competing at the Ocala Horse Properties Fall Horse Trial this October! Both mom Cathy and daughter Elliott have competed their horses for the past 10 years separately, but this is THE FIRST time both girls were in the same division at the same time! Daughter Elliott is pictured on WH Topgun, a 2004 Stallion owned by Jim and Nancy Kilcrease of Elderglen Farm, and Foothills Field Marshall, a 2009 Stallion owned by Donna Duckworth of Balmullo Farm. Mom Cathy is riding Hideaway’s Special Delivery, a 1995 grey gelding that is near and dear to our hearts. Congratulations Girls!”
