Rain, rain, go away…because I’d really like to be riding somewhere besides the indoor today! My first event of the season, a two-phase hosted by the University of New Hampshire (UNH), was supposed to be this weekend, but it unfortunately had to be cancelled due to the condition of the grounds. It’s a bummer, but it’s definitely a wise call. We had so much rain and snowmelt over the past week and a half that the arenas are in no condition to be ridden on at the moment! Here’s hoping that ground dries up a bit before UNH’s recognized horse trials – the official start of the Area 1 season – in a couple weeks!
