Good morning EN! I hope this fine Saturday finds you better than those of you who will be competing at Sporting Days in Aiken today. There is a massive storm system on it’s way and from the looks of the radar there won’t be a lot of riding going on. Word from the organizers is to check the farm website, as it will have any information about cancellations or rescheduling. [Sporting Days]
While today might be questionable, yesterday the combined test divisions and the IP both did dressage and show jumping. Check out live scores here. [Live Scores]
Other events this weekend:
Rocking Horse 3 [Live Scores]
Twin Rivers Winter HT [Live Scores]
Good luck to all competitors!
