Caitlin Dwyer and her trainer Alison Eastman-Lawler of Apple Tree Farm in Hollis, New Hampshire are encouraging eventers to give back to their communities through a video project they have dubbed the Eventers Challenge.
“We’re going to challenge the eventing community to take time out of your busy day to do something nice for your community,” Alison said.
The crew from Apple Tree Farm kicked things off by going to the Nashua PAL Youth Safe Haven and offered pony rides to children for their end of the school year celebration.

“At Apple Tree Farm we’re lucky enough to do what we love every single day,” Caitlin said. “So we decided to bring some ponies down here to the PAL Youth Safe Haven in Nashua, New Hampshire to give back to the community. So we’ve been here doing pony rides all day.”
Apple Tree Farm nominated Therese Grittner, Ryan Wood, Dani Douphinette, Jessica Halliday, Dawn Dascomb, David Wilson, Courtney Cooper, Kim Sevigny Falana, Bethany Mauchly and Megan Moore to carry on the project. They also challenged Eventing Nation to share their video and help the idea go viral – ask you shall receive!
“Do something creative, find something fun to do,” Alison said. “Take a video, tag your friends and lets get this going.”
We think this is a great way for eventers to give back to their community and to share their love of horses with others. We can’t wait to see what you all come up with!
Don’t forget to use the hashtag #EventersChallenge on your videos!
