Welcome to the start of one of the busiest weeks of the year. Neville and Exponential literally just landed in England, the rest of the Burghley horses are shipping out over the next couple days, the Pan American hopefuls are traveling to Richland today, there are 8 USEA events this upcoming weekend, and Europe’s best are preparing for the European Championships. Heather Reimer works for GermanEventing.de, a German eventing online magazine, and she is one of EN’s good friends in Europe. Heather will be sending us a few updates from the European Championships throughout the weekend. Thanks for writing this Heather and thank you for reading.

From Heather:
There is an atmosphere of quiet anticipation and excitement in Luhmühlen as the final preparations are being made ready for the start of the Europeans on Wednesday. Railings and fence posts are being painted white, tents erected, even a temporary stand to cater for all the tickets that have been sold. Numerous parking spaces have been marked out ready for the expected crowds on cross country day. Team Evans is still working hard getting the cross country course ready but things are really taking shape. The footing is good and hopefully the weather gods will be on our side and not let us down. The Irish team arrived on Sunday and got the best parking space right in front of the stables:
Best,
Heather
