Jumper Nation editor-in-chief Lorraine Jackson has been bringing us all the action live this week from Washington International Horse Show! The show is always a fun one to follow — annual favorites include the Costume Jumper Class, Shetland Pony Steeplechase and Puissance, in addition to prestigious hunter and equitation championships and monied jumper classes. Spectators this year witnessed an extra special moment on Friday: the final win and subsequent retirement of McLain Ward’s veteran Nations Cup partner and 2014 World Cup Final mount HH Carlos.

Lorraine has been JN’s boots on the ground and is clearly having a grand time with the coverage. Here’s a list of links to her coverage thus far — keep an eye on Jumper Nation and the JN Facebook page for more to come!
