It’s late and I have an early morning, and frankly not a lot is going on in the eventing world as of when I am writing this. So, I will abbreviate our traditional news and notes post with something that more closely resembles our weekend morning links posts.
–The one big note for US eventing is that there is eventing today in Aiken. Full Gallop Farm is hosting its second one-day horse trials of the year. The entry list doesn’t contain a ton of big-name horses because most of the top horses in the Aiken area are waiting to get going at Pine Top. Nonetheless, it should be fun to follow along with the live scores if you are stuck at work today. Last Wednesday the live scores were slow to be updated, so we will post the link with that caveat.
