It’s really cool to follow people’s journeys as they achieve their respective goals with their horses. A few friends of mine from back home journeyed to Ocala this winter to soak up the sun and

Considering it was 9 degrees with six inches of snow on the ground in Western NC this time last week, it was an odd thing to dig up a short sleeve tee to go outside

Will you take a gander at that darling face? Aber Oak is a Dutch Warmblood gelding who made his novice debut with rider and owner Madison Gilbert this weekend at Stable View, and the pair

I’ve started pony-ing my horses on trot sets down my dirt road, because frankly, it’s way more efficient. With the footing all gross everywhere else, a lot of my winter is walking and trotting up

It’s official, I’m over it. In fact, I’m #snowoverit. When I can’t ride for almost a week in total because it’s below 20 degrees and literally every option is covered in ice and snow and

How are we all dealing with the snow, EN? Have you taken up skijoring yet? Given up all hope, quit your day job and moved to Ocala? Or are you one of those weird people

It is -20 degrees in many parts of Utah and six or more inches of snow accumulated throughout the night last night, but that didn’t stop die hard eventers from showing up for the Wasatch

After an extended drought in California, a normal winter is here. Yesterday, I was almost eaten by “quick slop” while attempting to retrieve my mare out of the pasture. I’d forgotten how terrifying it can

You guys. That’s a REAL pony, pulling a real child in a real sleigh. In the snow! I can’t even deal with this right now. This is “cuteness overload” defined. Thanks to Devon Lyver for

High school senior Rachel Rozenboom thought that including her OTTB mare, Allie, in her senior pictures was an obvious must, but as we know with horses, things don’t always go to plan. They took Allie down

It was nice to have the New Year fall on a weekend and I hope you got some saddle time or at the very least, barn time. It was cold and raining and muddy here

Happy New Year EN! There were some highs and lows to 2016, but one die-hard eventing combination decided to end it with a thrilling bang: Abby and her OTTB Hugo earned their C-1 United States

It’s the last day of 2016 and almost time to start putting together that show calendar for the upcoming season. Admittedly it’s hard to get motivated to ride when it’s frosty cold outside, but that

Even Olympic champs get to roll in the mud and then lead their groom around the farm, as seen here by Mighty Nice, or Happy as he is known. A really great part of being

Yesterday I finally got to go hunting again, as every time I try to schedule a day to take my giant red dinosaur out, it rains/ices/gets cancelled for weather related reasons. This has proved very

Nothing’s like a little bit of extra motivation just in time to kick off the new season. Area VI eventer Britt Sabbah returned from Christmas vacation to find a nice surprise in her mail: a

My face hurts from smiling, I’m so full of good food I could bust, and I’m grateful to be surrounded by so much love from family and friends. I sincerely hope that you all had

Merry Christmas, Eventing Nation! I hope you unwrap a present today that is even half as cool as the Secret Santa gift I received from longtime Nation Media writer/illustrator extraordinaire Lindsey Kahn: a Noble Outfitters
