There’s this weird thing with Eventers about going hard all the time, and being strangely proud of how much we can take while still getting the job done. I have to constantly remind myself that

I had the privilege of spending some time at Buck Davidson’s Ocala base yesterday, and it was without a doubt a memorable experience. Many riders were having dressage schools under Buck’s watchful eye, and it

These jump judges have found a comfy spot on the ground under a warm blanket! Posted by Pine Top Eventing on Sunday, February 14, 2016 Pine Top is one of my favorite events and a great

One of the big challenges for someone involved in any sort of sporting endeavor is choosing the right coach. On top of having the required knowledge, the teaching style of the coach has to mesh

Did you celebrate Mardi Gras this week? Because the Chinch did! Eventers everywhere do a great job of keeping an eye out for our wiley critter in every day life, and we are delighted to

Let the Wellington Showcase begin!! Personally, I’m just excited to see how that whole “jumping through the VIP tent” thing goes for cross country. I know my horse would completely lose his mind if he

If there is one thing snow is good for (and I’m cataloguing them now to make myself feel better), it’s photos. You can seriously make things look magical in the snow. Ponies. Sunsets. Dogs running

Ok, so I know this is not necessarily eventing-related, but hear me out. The barn my coach and I are renting stalls from in Ocala this winter is home to a couple of accomplished Mustang

I empathize with everyone who had to shovel driveways and clear snow from roofs this weekend but slightly jealous of the folks going for bareback rides through the drifts. We were spared from knee deep
