Lisa Wilcox Deems Auction a Success
West Palm Beach, FL (April 2, 2010) – Highlife Farms 2010 Diamond Select Sale, held recently at the Jim Brandon Equestrian Center, proved to be a successful night in which top names in the dressage community and horse world gathered to buy offspring from Highlife Farms and learn more about the outstanding horses Highlife has to offer. Legendary horseman Monty Roberts, who worked with some of the Highlife horses prior to the sale, told Highlife owner Joan Sims that he had never seen a finer group of horses.
“Monty Roberts said he had traveled the world over and never seen a horse finer than our stallion Highlife’s Dionysius,” Sims said. “He even said if it wouldn’t have caused him to get a divorce he would have bought him. He was very impressed with our breeding program and told me time and time again that we should be very proud of the quality of horses we have bred.”

Australian Raider Means Business at Kihikihi in HSBC FEI World Cup Eventing
Kihikihi (NZL), 5 April 2010 – Megan Jones (AUS) began the 2010 HSBC FEI World Cup Eventing season in the same convincing style with which she dominated the Antipodean competitions last year, swooping on the New Zealanders’ Mitavite International Horse Trial at Kihikihi to snatch an emphatic victory.
As in 2009, Jones and her Kirby Park Irish Jester led from the start. They scored a clear Dressage lead of 7.6 penalties over another former Kihikihi winner, Clarke Johnstone, on Orient Express, which gave them the luxury of being able to take a long route at fence 3 on the Cross-Country.
