How can you just choose one photo? And yes, that is Leslie checking EN’s Kentucky cross country live updates while in labor in the upper right. Photos via Leslie Wylie.
Land Rover Kentucky cross country wasn’t the only exciting this happening on Saturday. On the very same day (because, of course) our EN superwoman Leslie Wylie and her husband Tommy Bateman welcomed their newborn son, Thomas Wylie Bateman, into the world. Way to make an entrance, kid! We think his name was a little prophetic in predicting our new CCI5*-L National Champion…
Please join us in sending congratulations and wishing the utmost joy to the Wylie-Bateman family!

Your Monday News & Notes:
The $225,000 Kentucky Invitational Grand Prix was a huge hit on Saturday night. Held in the Rolex Stadium the evening after cross country, the stands were packed with a sell-out crown despite rainy weather. COTH’s Ann Glavan reckons that events like this might be just what the sport needs. [Kentucky Invitational Grand Prix Shows Us What Show Jumping Could Be]
We learned yesterday that Ingrid Klimke has withdrawn SAP Hale Bob OLD from Badminton. We’re gutted that we won’t see Ingrid take another crack at the Badders title this year, but with withdrawals some new acceptances off the waitlist.

We’re thrilled to have grooming legend Max Corcoran recently appointed as USEA president-elect. Max is poised to bring a new perspective on horsemanship and groom-recognition to the organization and Noelle Floyd magazine recently caught up with her to hear more about what she wants to accomplish in the role.
