EN’s furry foreign correspondent enjoyed a pilgrimage to his homeland this week via a trip to the Aquece Rio Olympic Test Event. Chinchillas are native to South America, and if we didn’t have him scheduled to jet off to Aachen with Jenni this evening he’d have probably moved in.
Like, seriously:

Jetlag be darned, Chinch is packing his bags as we speak for the Aachen CICO 3*. Running from August 12-14, the event is the German leg of the 2015 FEI Nations Cup Eventing Series. Be sure to keep up with all his adventures (and misadventures) via Instagram @goeventing.
Go Chinch! Go Eventing!
