I know we’ve all been rocked this week by the news about Kentucky, but I’m hopeful anyway. If there is one thing I know, there is nothing like the heart of the eventing community, and our ability to band together and get stuff done. I’m sure more information and crowdsourcing will arise over the next few days, so let’s all just keep our hopes up for the possibility of Kentucky 2021!

The great and wonderful Mary Coldren wins a prize! Mary Coldren’s kindness, expertise, and enthusiastic participating in Eventing has been a staple for thousands of riders for decades. Now, thanks to NTRA Advantage Equine Discounts, Coldren is also the owner of a new John Deere Gator as the winner of NTRA Advantage’s “Share How You Care” Contest. NTRA Advantage Equine Discounts asked US Equestrian members to nominate someone who has had a positive impact through horses and equestrian sports. Entrants submitted a written essay or video sharing an experience that illustrates how their nominee cares for the equestrian community and how a John Deere Gator would help them in their work. We can hardly think of a more deserving winner! [Mary Coldren Wins a Gator]
