I’m not actually sure if Intercollegiate Eventing was around when I was in school, but I am definitely a little envious off all the students out there getting to combine their love of eventing and competition with their education. The camaraderie and teamwork that these students display is second-to-none and from the pictures and videos I’ve seen, it looks like everyone is having The Best Time!
