Faudree and Mosing’s Pawlow On The Way To The United Kingdom


(Maurice, LA and Hoffman, NC – August 26, 2009 - Will Faudree and Pawlow who were named to the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) high performance eventing training list earlier this year are preparing to leave for an international competition in the United Kingdom. Coach Mark Phillips and team members visited the pair while they were competing at a spring Jersey Fresh event.

All three Eventing High Performance Training Lists were updated following the spring competition season. Faudree and Pawlow were placed on the list to compete at the Blenheim Horse Trials in the United Kingdom.

Faudree and Pawlow fly out to the United Kingdom on August 31. Once there they will have eight days to prepare for the Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials September 10 –13. Ernie's owner, Jennifer Mosing, is attending the event as well.

Will Faudree is based in Hoffman, North Carolina at his Gavilan Farm. Pawlow is a 10-year old Irish Thoroughbred gelding and is owned by Jennifer Mosing. Mosing and her family own Sterling Silver Stables in Maurice, Louisiana. This is Mosing’s first sponsorship in the equestrian world although she and her family have sponsored top-bred dogs through their Nottoway Kennels.

“It’s an exciting time for us,” said Will Faudree. “This horse is so amazing and he is just beginning to show us what he has to give. He’s an incredible athlete and we are both so lucky that Jennifer came into our lives.”

The pair did their first advanced horse trial in late February and moved up quickly to the 3-star level with the selectors taking a look at them in early May. The pair has been competitive at the advanced level throughout the competition season.

Blenheim Palace is the host venue for one of the best three-day horse trial events in the world. Attracting top international competitors and their up and coming horses who compete against one another in the three phases of dressage, cross country and show jumping, this event offers great days with much to see and do including a wide range of attractions and displays, fabulous shopping and of course the chance to get close to the best sportsmen and women from this sport in the world–with a new class for 2009 aimed at those horses who are being targeted at London 2012 the equine Olympian stars of the future too.

Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials was awarded the opportunity to run a CIC3* competition alongside its established CCI3* event. “With the CIC cross country Sunday morning this will give spectators the opportunity to enjoy cross country on two days,” said Event Director Mandy Hervieu “as well as offering more riders and horses the opportunity to compete at this prestigious venue.”

The class will be positioned as an opportunity to spot the stars of the future and is very likely to be a target for those aiming for 2012 as it is similar to the CCI3*, but of less difficulty with a slightly shorter cross country course and not such a tight optimum time target.

Many riders will be keen to ride the anticlockwise course at Blenheim designed by Eric Winter but as yet never ridden, due to the cancellation of last year’s event due to adverse weather. Both the CCI 3*and CIC3* will incorporate some of the feature fences such as the lake crossings, dew pond and famous ‘Blenheim Flyer’ fence.
This new competition provides a much-awaited end of season target for the owners of talented young horses and will undoubtedly be an excellent showcase for those tipped for future success.

Faudree and Mosing teamed up earlier this year when Mosing purchased Pawlow, who they affectionately call Ernie P. Mosing. Mosing’s children ride and train with Faudree.

About Will Faudree
Will Faudree was born on October 4, 1981 in Midland Texas. He grew up on a cattle ranch, learning to ride at a very young age. When he was about thirteen he became interested in eventing, and started to compete. After graduating high school, Will moved to Pennsylvania to ride and train with Phillip Dutton. In 2003 Will set out on his own and moved to Southern Pines, North Carolina with his dog, Kemper, where Gavilan Farm is currently based. Will also competed in the Pan American Games that year. The team won a gold medal. The following year, Will was named the traveling reserve for the Athens Olympic Team. Unfortunately when Will returned home from the games, he found his house and barn had been struck by lightning and burnt down. Luckily no horses were on the property at the time, but the damage was too great. Will had to find a new farm and replace almost all of his personal belongings as well as his horse equipment. With the help of Will's family and close friends, Will was able to put things back together and moved into his current house and barn in January of 2005.

With the continued support of friends and family, Will's career as an Equestrian continues to grow. He represented the United States once again by riding on the US team at the 2006 World Equestrian Games in Aachen, Germany, and continues riding for the U.S. Team in future international competitions.

Sterling Silver Stables Takes Delivery of New Equine Motorcoach



(Maurice, La.) – Equine Motorcoach™ delivered a new Equine Motorcoach to Sterling Silver Stables in Maurice, Louisiana. The equestrian center was founded less than a year ago, but the family who owns it has been involved with horses for 16 years.

The Mosing family opened the doors of their equestrian center in June 2008 and it is rapidly developing into a world-class facility. In addition to finishing construction designed by some of the top international cross country and footing experts, they sponsor top three-day event rider, Will Faudree, and own his advanced level horse, Pawlow.

The Mosings’ two daughters, Kaitlynn and Maddie, ride and compete regularly at horse trials, jumper and dressage shows. The Mosings founded their operation and purchased their Equine Motorcoach as a way to keep the whole family together. They also have two sons who like horses, but prefer other activities.



On their maiden voyage to the Fork Stables Horse Trials in North Carolina, Jennifer and Kirk (mom and dad) traded driving duties while the rest of the family watched movies, played Xbox or slept. At one point, Jennifer sent a text message that her husband would not let her drive anymore because he said he was having fun driving the Coach.

Bob Wiegand, director of sales and general manager for Equine Motorcoach, made a special trip to a Poplar Place Farm horse trial in Georgia in late September 2008 to show the Coach to the Mosings. Once they finalized their order, the Volvo truck, electronics, plumbing and all other U.S. materials were crated, bundled and shipped overseas to the Lehel manufacturing plant in Hungary for finishing.

Wiegand traveled to Hungary to oversee the electrical and manufacturing process. The new Equine Motorcoach returned to the U.S. and was serviced at Stinnett RV, which is owned by Equine Motorcoach partner, Tom Stinnett. Wiegand then drove the Coach to Louisiana to train and prepare the family for their first trip.



Equine Motorcoach designed and produced many new amenities and features to create an even more user-friendly and functional vehicle. The Volvo truck now has front and rear air, making leveling and traveling in the Coach even easier. The TVs in the bunks and main living area are all configured for the kids to play Xbox with each other or watch their favorite programs together. The individual upper bunks are configured for access through the main living or horse transport area. The divider wall between the bunks was deleted so the kids could share the entire upper berth.

There is a full-size refrigerator/freezer and entertainment center on the exterior of the Coach. A portable grill stows easily and allows Kirk to set up his grill anywhere around the Coach.

The Coach is a perfect fit for the family of six and their horses. The Equine Motorcoach sleeps six and transports six horses. Even after loading all of the show gear, feed, hay, horses, kids, supplies, clothing, food and necessities, the Mosing family had lots of storage space left.

Last we heard, the family was working on their Easter eggs and having a great go with the horses and riders at the horse trials. The family is spending the remainder of their Easter vacation with Will Faudree at Gavilan Farm in Southern Pines, North Carolina.
