During my college years I boarded my horses at Emily and Jeff Beshear’s barn, which is just north of Charlottesville, Virginia. One of the things I always admired about Emily and Jeff is that they truly make eventing a family activity. Jeff is a full-time sports medicine vet, a part-time eventer, and of course Emily’s full-time groom. Emily runs a training and boarding program out of their farm and competes advanced with her horse Here’s To You aka Quincy. Their son Nicholas is 8 and looks to have a promising future as an eventer if major league soccer doesn’t work out. Furthermore, Jeff’s mother is an eventer in addition to being the first lady of Kentucky. Emily and Jeff were both kind enough to chat with me today about their horses and eventing as a family.
Go eventing families.
