Celtic Strider
3/18/2003-12/4/2025

Today one of the most incredible horses crossed the rainbow bridge. Strider was one of the cornerstones of Av8tion Sport Horses and we are saddened to let everyone know of his passing.
He passed this morning surrounded by people who love him, and is now laid to rest next to his father, our namesake, A. V. Eight.

Strider lived an incredible life and did everything you could have ever thought a Thoroughbred to do. Eventing. Dressage. Jumpers. Western saddle trail rides. Beginner lessons. AA shows. He was truly one of the most talented horses with the biggest heart.

While his loss is an irreplaceable and gaping hole, we can only be so lucky to have known a horse like him. He will truly be missed, but the memories he made for so many will continue on.

Have a great time up there, buddy. We’ll hold down the fort here. ✈️🕊️

During these scary times, I’m following suit of other farms and giving a bit of a spiel on everything we’re doing to keep our equine friends safe!

1. All horses have been fully boostered as per our vet’s recommendation.

2. The horses who were out of town at WTHJA were fully boostered in July, as were all horses at the show per USEF rules. We were not at an even that would have cross contamination from the inciting incidents.

3. Since returning home we have been a fully closed herd with no known cross contamination, and any human traveling between barns has been instructed to fully sanitize and boot dip, or not come at all.

4. We are fully self quarantined. No horses in, no horses out until after Thanksgiving at the earliest. Even horses coming from “safe” facilities. Biosecurity first! If there’s any question of safety risk, our show season will be complete.

While this is terrifying for many reasons, just like Covid, if we all work together we can be back to showing soon! ❤️

Oh St Louis, how you treated us RIGHT!

🐝Marlowe and Spirit stepped into their first rated show in the Children’s Ponies and put in some GORGEOUS rounds for placings in the top five!

🦀Charlie and Linus also made their rated debut bringing home blues, a champion AND a reserve champion!

☘️Ella and Strider ALSO ALSO made their rated show debut, as well as Ella’s first ever jumping show, and came home with top honors in the .65m classic on Sunday!

👑Ava and Kenan showed the world that even at 17, you can still win big with 5th in the week 1 derby and FIRST in the week 2 2’6” derby! 🥳 Not only that, they were Limit Eq champions!

Thank you thank you thank you Prime Time Shows and the St Louis Charity Horse Show for AMAZING experiences. We absolutely will be back!
