Cross country day always brings the rush of emotions often associated with this sport. All around the country, riders are zipping up their vests, polishing their boots, and mentally reviewing everything they’ve been planning for the last few weeks leading up to competition. A deep breath and a pat on the neck to their horse, and away they go around another cross country course, ears pricked and brow furrowed in concentration. We here at EN are wishing all horses and riders competing today and throughout the weekend happy, safe, and clean rounds.
