We love to follow eventing to every corner of the world in which it exists, and this week’s postcard comes to us from FEI eventing judge Valerie Pride, who is working at the 13th South American Games in Santa Fe, Argentina. Valerie is serving as President of the Ground Jury for the eventing competition, which is run at the CCI3*-L level. She’s accompanied on the Ground Jury panel by Delano Bastos de Miranda (BRA) and Gimena Fernandez Arrigoni (URU). 15 combinations representing four countries are on the roster for eventing (view the Definite Entries here).
The eventing kicked off yesterday and will conclude on Sunday with show jumping. There is no live stream that we are aware of, but you can find more updates and scores here.
