Welcome to Tom McEwen Eventing

I’m immensely proud of Dubs this week. 
It might not have been the ending we hoped for but still an incredible result. He’s one hell of a special horse. 

Dubs performed an incredible dressage test on Friday to finish on a score of 24.6 and backed that up with a clear cross country round on Saturday, with just 4 time faults, but still remaining in the lead.

An unfortunate pole in the showjumping moved us to 2nd place overall.

A huge thank you to Adam Short for all the care you give Dubs, not just at the events but at home too. 🙌🏽

Thank you to everyone’s messages of support, it’s hugely appreciated.

2nd place for JL Dublin at Defender Kentucky 5*

There is so much still to come from this special horse and I strongly believe his day will come to win a big 5* 
I’m so pleased with his performance all week and to finish on the podium is fantastic. 
I’m so thrilled for Dubs' owners Deirdre Johnston and Jo & James Lambert, for having 2 very exciting horses in the top 4 at a 5* - both beautifully produced by Nicola Wilson Equestrian
Adam Short - thank you for looking after Dubs so brilliantly not just at the show but all year round. 
Massive congratulations to Ros Canter Eventing for a truly incredible performance!
So that’s the end of the 2023 season. 
Time for the horses to have a holiday and for me to marry my biggest support & best friend Harriet Fettes !

Our team have all had a good rest over the winter months, and we’ve had a chance to reflect on the 2022 season. Our fantastic team of horses notched up over 50 top 5 finishes, and that could not have been achieved without the incredible support from our team at home and our wonderful owners and sponsors.

There are plenty of highlights to choose from, but the Aachen Nations Cup win with Toledo, and Luna Mist taking the 4* win at Blair Castle really do stand out.

We’ve got an exciting season ahead of us, starting at Poplar Park in March .

We’re also really looking forward to getting a couple of new members to the stable out for their first runs.

As mentioned, this is truly a team effort, and thanks to my great team of staff, owners and sponsors, we are fit and ready to crack on with the year ahead.

In November 2019 I was thrilled to become a brand ambassador for Devoucoux.

Devoucoux has been making saddles and accessories in their workshops in Bidart (Pays Basque) since 1985. Devoucoux saddles and accessories have become icons, thriving on elegance, accuracy and comfort. They require the expertise of six different trades (master crafts) within the saddlery profession, all of them central to our workshops in the Pays Basque. Cutting, preparing, assembling, putting together, machine stitching and hand stitching result in a harmonious balance – a constantly evolving savoir-faire that gives our models elegance, expertise and comfort.
