84 horses who presented at the Badminton jog passed.  Yes, I counted–twice.  Ireland’s Geoff Curran and The Jump Jet did not present.  The accepted horses move on to the start of dressage on Friday, and

Jason Picton was hacking Cool Mountain, who looks fantastic. What’s a horse got to do though? With a Rolex win, and two WEG medals under his belt, why are people still slightly dismissive of “Ollie”?

Hawley, (checking out EventingNation’s news & notes, I’m sure!) and Gin ‘N Juice were out early this morning, as was I. There was a haze lingering over the parkland that will burn off shortly as

There was a request for coverage of the Candians at Badminton, and ta-da…! (there was also a request for an interview with the Queen, but I don’t think that’s going to happen!) Selena O’Hanlon’s groom,

Well the Ocala Horse Trails is all dressaged out by now. The CCI** is now complete and all riders are focused on tomorrow. Hopefully everyone has done their 32 course walks and can now sleep

Hello Eventing Nation! Well John is long gone by now and he has dangerously turned his site over to some very naughty behaved people. Despite my urge to want to post all the absolute random

I was so happy to meet Sharon White at The Fork last weekend. I was introduced to her by Jimmy Wofford who she trains with, and whilst we stood talking for maybe ten minutes during

Jessica Phoenix is on fire this seaon; her two Rolex horses Exponential and Exploring are on top form, placing in the top 10 in the CIC 3* at The Fork last weekend. Her new ride

I want to share this lovely email I received this morning: Dear Samantha, Just over four hours ago (12 noon Sydney time, Monday April 11), Hamish and Tiger started the long and ambitious journey to

I was delighted to meet Donna and Devon this weekend, and hope that maybe one day my daughter and I will share a passion for eventing also. I persuaded them to chat briefly before Devon’s

As you probably already know, Missy Ransehousen jumped round the Fork advanced cross country in style yesterday, posting a steady clear. I caught up with Missy this morning while she was packing her truck to

It’s show jumping time at The Fork.  All 7 TVs in your house might be tuned to the tradition unlike any other, but your computer can be tuned to The Fork with live scores and

The Fork isn’t the only event going on this weekend of course, and an EN reader sent us this quick ‘view’ picture from Chattahoochee Hills Horse Trials in Georgia.  I haven’t checked with the Chinchilla

David Koss and Look Sweet passed on reinspection The jog for the CIC3* horses at The Fork was blustery, muddy, and uneventful.  Overall, the horses looked really happy, which has to be attributed to the
