Good morning Eventing Nation!
Apparently, since Facebook made those changes yesterday morning, you all took to your blogs instead. While the ever-changing Facebook is very frustrating, we all get used to it eventually. I am actually looking forward to the next time Facebook changes their design. There’s so many blogs to catch up on! Read those after you double check your ride times for this weekend:
Starting Friday:
Twin Rivers Fall HT [Status, Times, and Live Scoring]
Poplar Place Farm Sept HT [Times] [Live Scoring]
Otter Creek Farm Fall HT [Times] [Live Scoring]
Starting Saturday:
Stone Gate Farm HT [Times and Live Scoring]
The Middleburg HT [Times] [Results page]
Stoneleigh-Burhnam School HT [Website]
Flora Lea Fall HT [Times] [Live Scoring]
Good luck to all competitors!
Tamra Smith and Fleeceworks Cinco won the 4 year old YEH Championships at Twin Rivers.
Maxance McManamy won the 5 year old YEH Championship with Astro NSF.
For those of you who miss your horse while at work, school, or away, can now own, groom, and ride your virtual horse. When you’re laid up, just bust out your iPhone and MyHorse. [H&H]
The USEA has revamped their Dashboard system to make it more user friendly. Dashboard is the portal that members can renew their membership, sign up for the annual meeting, enter events, etc. [USEA]
Now, without further ado, all the action in the blogosphere:
Best of the blogs: Leslie Wylie is engaged! (She’s a blogger contest finalist.) She’s got some great photos of horses and weddings that will have you spitting out your coffee. [Congrats Leslie]
Kyle’s blogs are always a good read, and the latest entry requires a full read since we’re on the love topic. No recap here. [Carter Eventing]
Kate Chadderton recaps Marlborough HT on her blog. It was old school where she felt like she was back in Australia. She thrives well when the courses don’t ride well, and won her division. She’s headed to a grand prix this weekend. [Victory Sport Horses]
Georgie Spence recaps her busy schedule as of late and her preparations for Express Eventing. She’s never competed in one before and will be pleased if her horse has a good go. She’s also currently injured at the moment with a pulled back muscle that’s interfering with preparations. We wish her a speedy recovery. [H&H]
Comedic Eventing: The Trouble with Kissing. While that wins Best Title Award, and 389 EN Karma points, the topic is kissing spine. Maggie is happy to have found the cause of Dante’s head flipping. We wish him a speedy recovery. [Comedic Eventing]
Team CEO Eventing has arrived at Otter Creek HT. They arrived with some time to kill, so they pampered their ponies, contemplated magazine selections, and took a homeless man out to lunch. 390,322 EN karma points for you! [Team CEO blog]
Last, but certainly NOT least, Jennie Brannigan blogs about the biggest jump of her life. [COTH]
This is my longest N&N ever, so I’m cherishing the moment.

(Now I really can’t wait to) Go eventing.
