Have you ever wanted to own not one, but two CCI5* horses? We have some exciting news for you from Caroline Martin Eventing! Caroline exclusively revealed to EN yesterday that she is forming a very special syndicate with Danger Mouse, Islandwood Captain Jack and Cristiano Z with the opportunity to buy a piece of each horse at a group price. Offering a very affordable investment price, Caroline is hoping to take these three horses to the very top of the U.S. eventing scene, and compete at the Pan Ams in Lima as well as the Tokyo Olympics. With two horses at Kentucky this weekend, Caroline is definitely a competitor for the future of our country, and this provides an amazing opportunity to get in on the action.

News From Around the Globe:
As EN tradition dictates, it’s time to read “Dandelions in the Park” again. Originally published in 2012, this essay’s relevance has remained intact over the years. On the eve of this year’s event, we thought it appropriate to re-share as a reminder that this collective experience we know as Kentucky is much bigger, and more complex, than we sometimes give it credit for.

I know it’s still Kentucky week, but don’t you want to also fantasize about Badminton already? Check out this awesome course walk of the 2019 Badminton cross country course with World Champion Ros Canter. She also finished 3rd and 5th at Badminton the past two years, so I feel like she’s probably a pretty good judge of the course. [Walk Badminton with Ros Canter]
Is it possible that some horses prefer women over men? Often we hear the phrase “a woman’s horse” and it usually refers to an animal that has been roughly handled (presumably by men) in the past and prefers the other gender of human. Science doesn’t exactly agree, but concedes that horses have the ability to form long lasting memories based on experiences and relationships with humans, and might tend to prefer certain personalities over others.
