In case you’re ever wondering, I highly recommend having a river on your property, it sure makes training event horses a lot easier. Plus, after a hard workout in the ring on a summer day, there isn’t anything they like better than going into the river and doing lots of aggressive splashing. 10/10 recommend.

With the fastest XC time at Great Meadows CCI4*, it’s time to know more about Leamore Master Plan. Known around the barn as Simon, Ariel Grald’s five-star mount has been with her since a very young age, and placed 12th and 10th at Kentucky and Burghley last year, respectively. If you’re feeling generous, be sure to send him Mrs Pasture’s Cookies, as he lives to eat them. [USEA Horse of the Month: Leamore Master Plan]

How has COVID 19 changed the face of horse sales? Making a big investment in a horse without being able to travel and see it in person, or even ride it, is obviously kinda scary. For sellers, it’s important to be super transparent, and maybe make videos of more normal stuff like behavior around the barn in addition to riding videos. Courtney Cooper weighs in on how she’s been navigating sales this year. [COVID 19 & Horse Sales]
