Weekend news and notes

Greetings friends, I know we usually put most of our links to interesting stuff that isn’t quite important enough for it’s own post in our Twitter feed in the sidebar, but I thought we would bring back News and Notes for old times sake.  
Firstly, I mentioned in our weekend preview that Mandiba was entered at Surefire.  I have since heard that due to hard ground resulting from the Virginia drought, Mandiba will wait to return to competition on another weekend
Phillip has just returned to PA from training with Oded Shimoni on Woodburn and TruLuck.  Phillip also explains in his blog that The Forman and Connaught are back in work and doing well.  TruLuck is scheduled for Rebecca Farm in July.
Nancy Jaffer has an excellent interview with Courtney King-Dye and breaks the news that Courtney has been released from her rehab facility.  Courtney still struggles with some physical tasks and speech, but she is a testament to her inner strength and modern medicine.  Wow, two links to EquiSearch in one day–kinda makes me feel like river dancing.
Lisa Slade wrote a recap of day one at the USEF Para-Equestrian WEG selection trials in Illinois
Let’s just keep on sharing the media love with this preview of the AEC’s from the USEA.  Can you spot the Canadian rider in the video?

If Land Rover gets three minutes worth of shameless plugs in that video, then surely you will permit me to say that if you need to get anything for the barn remember that it helps support Eventing Nation if you buy it from SmartPak.  If you don’t need anything from the barn, just clicking on the SmartPak banner in our sidebar (with the picture of PDizzle) and browsing the SmartPak site makes us look good and has been scientifically proven to give you EN Karma.  We also have two new sponsors that I am excited to introduce very soon.
I’m at an undisclosed event this weekend trying to lay low and enjoy a light competition with a young horse who is just coming back from a spring injury.  I’m about 6’4″, have an Australian accent, my hair won’t sit evenly, I wear zebra stripes and a Point-Two on XC, and otherwise you will find me in a green Devoucoux jacket.  Come find me and pour cold water on my head.  
Go eventing.
