Saugerties, New York, United States – May 24, 2025 – The premier week of the expanded 2025 Hits Hudson Valley Show Series set the tone for what promises to be a thrilling ten-week season of top-tier sport, hosted at the prestigious showgrounds in Saugerties, New York. Nestled against the scenic backdrop of the Catskill Mountains and renowned for its world-class footing and welcoming atmosphere, the venue welcomed riders from around the globe for the first week of the three-week spring series. Among the highlights was the $75,000 FarmVet Grand Prix, where Jordan Coyle (IRL) and Keep Me With You N.C. delivered a standout performance to take the win.

Eighteen horse-and-rider combinations took to the ring on Saturday morning to contest the track set by Florencio Hernandez (MEX). Of those, nine advanced to the shortened jump-off round—three of them piloted by Coyle. With his second ride, Keep Me With You N.C., a 10-year-old Dutch Warmblood (KWPN) mare (Le Tot De Semilly x Indoctro) owned by Falkirk Farm, Coyle blazed through the timers in 39.965 seconds, a time that ultimately proved unbeatable.

“I think everyone knows how I feel about her at this point; she’s incredible,” expressed Coyle. “It’s just a weird sensation she gives you. You really believe that she isn’t going to touch the jumps, so it gives me a little free rein to go maybe a little too fast.”

Israel’s Daniel Bluman (ISR) also brought forward three entries to the jump-off, adding to the intensity of the class and pushing the pace as the riders went head-to-head with each of their entries“I think I got carried away between me and Daniel,” admitted Coyle. “This was supposed to be an easy week for her, and I for sure ended up going faster than I originally planned to.”

Coyle capped off a dominant day by also taking second place aboard Action T, Falkirk Farm’s 12-year-old Oldenburg gelding by Action T, stopping the clock in 41.731 seconds.

Rounding out the podium was Daniel Bluman (ISR) and his superstar partner Gemma W, the 14-year-old Dutch Wamblood (KWPN) mare (Luidam x Unaniem) owned by Blue Star Investments and Over The Top Stables LLC, who finished close behind in 41.781 seconds.

Based just down the road in Central Valley, New York, Coyle and the team at Falkirk Farm have made Hits Hudson Valley a staple on their summer schedule.“I’ve been coming here for five or six years now, but in recent years with all the improvements, the place looks great and the footing is perfect,” shared Coyle. “I’m thankful for FarmVet and all the other sponsors that do so much to make these classes possible.”
