Only the best for Chinch's horse! Photo by Mia Farley.
With all of the hustle and bustle from this weekend, we can hardly forget that another big summer event is coming up next: Rebecca Farm! We’re so thrilled to be covering the event no one can stop talking about this year — Chinch got so excited that he decided to enter the CCI3*. Naturally, we told him he was far from qualified, but he still intends to give it a go.
To that end, we’d like to thank Mia Farley for sourcing Chinch’s new mount. She’s safely on her way to Montana, and once Chinch recovers from his NAJYRC party weekend, he’ll be joining her for what’s sure to be some epic failure antics.
I will be on the ground beginning Thursday to cover all of the action I can muster from Rebecca Farm, so keep it locked right here on EN as the coverage party continues!

There’s been a lot of drama surrounding the status of the NCAA equestrian program. The good news, however, is that the NCAA is supportive of the equestrian programs’ efforts. Here’s hoping this means the teams will be allowed to remain without losing their athlete status and support. [NCAA Resolves to Support Equestrian Sport]
