Monday News and Notes:
Boekelo was an important competition for New Zealand as their qualification for the Rio Olympic Games was on the line. A hard fought third placed team finish ultimately sealed the deal. They brought a star squad with them to get the job done, with the requirements to finish with a team score as well as place higher than Japan, who ultimately fell out of the team competition on cross country day. The Kiwis can breathe a sigh of relief now and focus on their Olympic preparation. [Kiwi Eventers Bound for Rio]

Katie is selling sports tech, moisture-wicking long-sleeve shirt (similar to Under Armour heat gear) with the breast cancer ribbon on them. She has had, and currently has, members of her family fighting the disease so this is something that she is really passionate about. [Click to Learn More]
The Le Cheval Canadien, or Canadian horse, made its debut at Dressage at Devon earlier this month with rider Eliza Banks and her ride CanaDream Kelbeck YouandMe, better known as Toque. The Canadian horse is a versatile breed, and Toque is a special order as he was bred by the president of the Cheval Canadien breed society. At Devon he won multiple ribbons, including winning the 4-year-old Suitable to Become a Dressage Horse class. [A Different Breed Makes Its Mark at Devon]
Jessica Springsteen is more than a rockstar’s daughter, she’s an up-and-coming international show jumper. In fact, the whole family fits right into the equestrian scene. Jessica says her parents always encouraged her to follow her passion just like they did. She might have lived a unique life growing up, but she has the same dream as most little girls who start riding horses – to go to the Olympics on day. [Meet Show Jumping Star Jessica Springsteen]
