Briggs Surratt & Hat Trick, NAJYRC Jogs. Does he win best dressed??
It’s NAJYRC week! So much excitement going on in Kentucky right now, it’s positively filled with future superstars. This is their Rolex, their championship of championships. I remember my Young Rider’s experience, and there really is nothing like it. Having a team is something that we equestrians really miss out on, as our sport is largely individually focused. I never really thought I would be that into it, as I’m a pretty independent person, but something about cheering on your teammates and loving their success as much as your own….it’s just unbelievable and incredibly fulfilling. In other news, do you think Briggs Surratt is channeling some Buck Davidson with those red socks? I mean, the red suspenders are a whole ‘nother conversation, but those socks are really what’s pulling the outfit together.

News From Around The Globe:
Here’s something really fascinating: a behind the scenes look at the process of retraining that happens at the Maker’s Mark Secretariat Center in KY. MMSC takes tons of thoroughbreds every year and has an incredible program of rehabbing them and retraining them into second careers. Horse Channel is following three of the horses for several months as they enter the program, and showing what kind of training they go through before they can be ready for their second careers and their new homes. Definitely worth a click. [MMSC Behind The Scenes]
If you’re anywhere near Millbrook NY this weekend, you have to go to Fitch’s Corner. Three days of eventing competition, glamorous shopping opportunities in the vendor village, a classic car show, and even a “Blue Jean Ball”. The dress code is pearls and pagodas, if you were wondering, and there will be much dancing to NYC’s DJ Flow. Sounds like a ridiculously good time. [Fitch’s Corner]
Guess who’s got a fantastic new website? Will Coleman! After partnering with the wonderful Athletux, Will has just revealed his brand new website, and it’s definitely worth a look. Extra points to the person who can tell me who “Cheddar” was in Will’s career. [Will Coleman Equestrian]
