Lots going on around the Eventing Nation this weekend!

First things first, we must give a shout-out to Chattahoochee Hills Training level competitor Sophie David, of Moreland, Georgia, who brought THIS ADORABLE BABY GOAT with her to the event.

Goatie goin’ cross country! . . . . . . . #Goatie#xc#eventing#chatthills

Its name is Goatie. Thank you for the joy you have brought us all, Sophie!

Also, this random chicken, as seen at Chatt Hills.

A couple notes, and then we’ll count down the winners.

  • The lowest finishing score in the country belonged to Tik Maynard and Santiano, who scored a 22.5 in Open Beginner Novice at Chattahoochee Hills. Tik also had the second lowest finishing score, a 23.1., with Galileo in the same division. Well done, Tik! Did you hear he has a book, In the Middle Are the Horsemen, coming out in June? We shared excerpts from it last week — check them out here and here.
  • The winningest rider of the weekend was Chelsea Kiernan, who won both divisions of Novice at Kent School with Calypsos Dream and KC’s Michelangelo. A blue for each hand, Chelsea!
