Erin McGuire and Kasarr Take Aiken Blue--Again

Erin McGuire and Kasarr

Erin McGuire and Kasarr continued their years-long winning streak with yet another victory, this one during the Aiken Winter Classic I, held January 10 in Aiken, South Carolina.

Kasarr, a 16-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding, and Erin have been partners since 2013 and continue to prove to be a long standing force to reckon with at Aiken. They topped the Brookledge $9,999 Mini-Prix over Summersby and Doug King, with Quantum Leap and Doug Payne placing third.

The pair returned the following week to claim second in the Aiken Winter Classic II Welcome Stake, just behind Starr Witness and Doug Payne.

From Erin’s Facebook page: “Go team, good game 🦁 Fierce competition having Doug and Maryann in the jump off, can’t wait to do it all again next time!”

For those of you asking about Nutmeg: Long story short, the Finally Farm handyman found her, and she was supposed to be a barn cat but I’m a pushover. I have a dumb sense of humor and treat the cat like a dog, so she walks on a leash, rides in the car, has a Barbour coat, etc. Her lifelong goal is to make it on Ellen, but until then you can follow her on Instagram at @nutmeg_the_horse_show_cat.
