Hey there, EN! It’s a busy weekend ahead of us with competition overseas at Luhmühlen and plenty of action around the U.S. I must say I’m pretty disappointed with the FEI’s decision to uphold Mary King’s suspension. I understand that the rules are the rules, but it seems like top riders in other disciplines (*cough*endurance*cough*) can wiggle their way out of even the most appalling things. I’m not sure that more signatures will convince them of the error of their ways, but it’s worth a shot. You can sign the petition to lift Mary King’s suspension here.
On a totally unrelated note, out here in California, Gina Miles is one of the featured presenters at Horse Expo. I am one of her demo riders along with my BFF Stephanie. Come say hi!
