Is it because they're bringing on young horse's though? I had been wondering about Mary King because she doesn't seem to have been in the big competitions for ages. I thought I read, or maybe just assumed that was because she was bringing on younger horses.
She has reduced "her string" and is producing younger homebreds. Has a 9year old entered at Bleheim King Robert II and has a 5 year old Kings Tilly according to results/entries on BDWP.

Im sure I read somewhere that Mary has taken a step down as she had an injury that hadnt gone away completely and has affected her riding to the point that she feels she isnt as good as she was so limits herself to what and where she rides.

She wrote a H&H column recently and mentioned that her neck flares up every few months (I think?)
