Guys, I was just checking out my mid-summer tan lines today, and dang they are rocking so hard. The criss-cross design across the top of my back is so clean and tidy, it’s really a marvel. You can always tell a horse girl by their tan lines, no matter how hard we try to conceal them, we’re just doomed to be multicolored forever.

Getting an 11.3 in dressage just shouldn’t be allowed. However, one rider in a BE100 class did just that, much to her own astonishment. Laura Fenwick and Rustenberg Diamond finished on a 12.1 at Alnwick Ford HT this week, adding just .8 too-fast time penalties to clear a win in their division. This gives Laura the lowest finishing score in British Eventing since 2017. [Rider Wins on a 12.1]

What’s it like to clinic with Olympian Will Coleman? Will recently travelled to Emerald Isles Eventing Center in Massachusetts to give a two-day clinic. He emphasized how the rideability on the flat for all horses and riders would greatly improve their ability to jump accurately, and gave them all simple exercises to practice at home to keep their horses attuned to their aids.
