I am truly bummed that I didn’t get to make it down to Fresno County Horse Park yesterday to join in on the fun. Several of my friends took young horses to their first outings and it looks like everyone had a grand time. Today is show jump day and then that’s it, it’s done! The show season will have come to a close on the West Coast. While I didn’t make it out to as many events as I would have liked to, I still had a fantastic time at the ones I did. I hope your 2015 was a glorious show season and that you met the goals you set out for yourself whatever they may have been. Here’s to planning 2016’s show season!

The first independent International Cross Country Safety Conference is coming up this February. The purpose of the conference is to “inform, discuss and contribute to the ongoing success of cross country courses while increasing awareness of best safety practices that should be adopted.” Discussions will include the use of frangible pins and other emerging safety technologies, developing a global cross country safety standard, Q&A sessions with guest speakers and more. Here’s the kicker though, they need to do a bit of fundraising for this to all go down, so even a little bit helps, and contributes towards a smarter and safer sport. Read more in Leslie’s write up [Cross Country Safety Conference in Ireland] and contribute to the Kickstarter [David Morton’s Kickstarter]
