YES! After their standout clear and inside the time cross country rounds at their very first two five-stars, this is some news I think many of us have been crossing our fingers for! Mia Farley and her speedy, high-flying Thoroughbred Phelps plan to tackle arguably the biggest, baddest cross country track of them all: Burghley. A Burghley course, where a clear and fast round will see a pair shoot up the leaderboard at the end of the day, simply screams for pairs like Mia and Phelps to come and contest it and the whole team at EN is absolutely pumped about this news. If you’d like more information on how to support Mia and Phelps in this endeavor, click the embedded post above.
