While I couldn’t be in attendance at the USEA Convention this weekend, John’s rapid-fire updates kept me — along with the rest of the eventing community — informed of all the important developments that came out of the annual meeting. From detailed overviews of David O’Connor’s new program plans to a full analysis of London from the Olympic team, John’s posts helped me feel like I was there; I hope you did too. I’ll be bringing you a roundup of John’s best posts from the convention tomorrow. Until then, you can relive all the action by clicking back through the most recent pages of the blog. There is enough material there to keep you reading for several hours. The future of U.S. eventing is upon us. As David said at the convention: Watch out, Germany. We’re coming for you.
