Good morning! Today kicks off a busy weekend around the country. The season is definitely under full swing, and multiple events are preparing many horses and riders for a successful season. Galway Downs is one of the events running this year, and I have a special request for any of you who are attending or competing. Please send any updates, photos, or video from the event to me at [email protected]. I am trying to do as much coverage of this premier West Coast event as possible, and I need your help! Thanks in advance, and good luck to everyone competing around the country this weekend.

Area VI has a brand new website, thanks to Athletux. The site is new and improved, and you should hop on over and check it out! [Area VI]

Stuart Pittman has penned an open letter to PETA in response to their recent allegations of abuse in the racing world. Horse Nation reprinted the letter, and I think it is well a written and diplomatic response. The fallout from the recent PETA video is still rippling throughout the racing industry.

The USEF will award three dressage riders with pre-games training and competitive grants. The grants are designed to help riders who wish to train in Europe leading up to the World Equestrian Games in Normandy later this year. [USEF Grants]

Are you attending Badminton this year? If so, check out these fabulous course walks, and nab some tickets to an exclusive look at the cross country course. The walks will be lead by Zara Phillips and Laura Collett, which means they will surely be educational and entertaining. Who has an extra bed for me to crash in so I can attend too?
