The New Year is the quintessential finale to the holiday season and the last time you can really let loose before knuckling down again. So what was the eventing nation doing on New Years? For some it was a normal early evening with an early morning to follow. Others kicked it in to high gear.

You know it was a good party when you have to mop the next day. Pollard Eventing threw a music festival themed party going by the name of “TommorowYear,” a nod to the festival held at Chattahoochee Hills each year. Complete with GoGo dancers, plenty of glow, and a DJ, the party went down as one of the most loved, according to many eventers who were in attendance.
Clean-up is always a chore, though, and Michael Pollard posted the following:
Happy New Year! Thank you to everyone who joined Pollard Eventing in ringing in the New Year!
Hope everyone felt like they got their monies worth! I thought everyone had a good time…but I could have been projecting:)
Nat is chipper this morning already mop in hand…I’m lucky to share my life with this one…Notice the picture is taken from bed…ouch. Normality will ensue shortly! Thank you all again for coming. If you missed it, I’m sorry.
May 2015 be the best year yet

You don’t have to party hard to enjoy the holiday. Spending quality time with family and friends is a special way to welcome the New Year and all it’s new adventures. Elisa Wallace and husband Timothy took their dogs Poohie, TyTy, and Pocket, out for a stroll to celebrate the new year, complete with a GoPro. The result is this adorable video:
Driving home from the airport and the best New Years spent with my family skiing in Fernie BC. Hoping to do it every year! Love Fernie!

Some eventers took it to a new level, such as those from Phyllis Dawson’s Windchase Farm. Polar plunge, anyone?
The Windchase crew kicks off 2015 with a Polar Dive! They had to break some of the ice off of the lake.
As for us?
The chinchillas partied a little too hard on New Year’s Eve, and EN is currently down for maintenance. We’ll be back up and running shortly!
