I’m so excited this weekend to head to the West Coast for the Preliminary Challenge at Woodside. This is such a cool event. Even though the event runs through Advanced, all the attention is on

The ring is flooded. The trails are flooded. The fields are flooded. Even roads are shut down for high water. So basically, we’re all living in water wings.

It’s graduation season! Sierra Schurtz (pictured above) graduated from high school this weekend and is headed to my alma mater, The University of Georgia this fall (Go Dawgs!). She and “Zach” were also the big

Shoutout to all the eventing families out there! May you all one day capture a family photo as precious as the one above which Rhonda Sexton shared with us. Rhonda’s daughter Molly Scher competed at the

The rain on the east coast this week has been insane. So much so that Fair Hill has announced that they’ve cancelled the event this weekend, because it is literally under water. However, don’t despair!

Ah spring … the time of year when you have to pull out the old tick jar. You know the one. The jar that lives in your barn near where you groom the horses, is

While some of us have pulled out our sunshirts for the summer, others are finally enjoying the first competitions of the year. I know all my friends in New England were probably a bit annoyed at my photos

Happy Mother’s Day! While we all come into this sport in a different way, most of us can credit an awesome horse show mom for our involvement. The ones who cheer for you when you

This is a good look for Dressage, right? #purplepony #flyawayferro #5o1sporthorses #greyhorseproblems #jfi3de A post shared by 5o1 Sport Horses (@5o1sporthorses) on May 10, 2018 at 6:28am PDT It’s a wonderful thing to marvel at

We’d like to give a big Eventing community group hug to Melissa Miller-Slusser, who is competing at Jersey Fresh this weekend in the CCI2* on Emilion to One. Melissa unfortunately lost her best bud, High

Man. Yesterday I had an awesome jump lesson with the one and only Lainey Ashker, with my young OTTB boy Turkey. I’m taking him to the Retired Racehorse Project this fall, and he’s an athletic

With the addition of a CIC3*, CIC2* and CIC1* to the Stable View Advanced Oktoberfest Horse Trials this fall, Attwood Equestrian Surfaces is busy creating a new arena to accommodate the expanding competition. Tucked in

Two four-stars in two weeks … phew! Kentucky and Badminton on back-to-back weekends is always a crazy time for the EN team, but where would we be without a little insanity in the middle, eh?

Chinch has been kidnapped from the media center at Badminton. This is not a drill. He’s been chinchnapped. And this is not a joke: we have absolutely no idea who it is. However, the chinchnappers

Badminton always feels like some sort of crazy whiplash right after Kentucky to me, but in a good way. I mean, it’s basically madness that tons of riders compete in the most difficult competition in North America and then

With the Chinch’s blessing, we are back online! This weekend was a bit of an adventure as our online only publication found itself without a website, but coverage soldiers on! Thanks are due to you,

Monday horse show hangover anyone? Well I have bad news for you because the insanity doesn’t rest this time of year! We charged head first into Badminton now, so hold on tight!

If we’ve said it once, we’ve said it a thousand times: this isn’t going to be a dressage show. Derek di Grazia’s course may very well swallow up the hopes and dreams of some riders

Hey all you Kentucky fans! If you haven’t gotten to walk the course yet, I have a few ideas. One: fuel up on bourbon chicken. Two: hydrate, and bring extra hydration. Four star courses are

You know, Maggie gets to be the first one to talk about the Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event each year with her Wednesday N&N, but I get the honor of talking about the first day

It’s jog day at Kentucky! I’ve been doing News & Notes on Wednesdays for almost four years now, and I am always excited that I get to publish the first Eventing Nation post every year on
