Our good friend Pam Bennett-Skinner has become something of a regular correspondent from the West Coast, with previous reports from Santa Fe and St. Johns. Today we’re happy to share some photos she sent from the fall Coconino Horse Trials in Arizona. Thanks to Pam for sharing, and thanks for reading. Go West Coast Eventing!

From Pam:
Yes! There are trees in Area X.
This last weekend was the Fall Coconino Horse Trials in Flagstaff, AZ. [Results] The weather was perfect: sunny and clear with the chill of fall in the mornings. Flagstaff sits just below 7000 ft. in an island of pines. They’re woven between the barns, providing an ambiance unknown anywhere else in Area X.

Alas, I didn’t see much of the other competitors, since I did something highly insane and took a twenty-one year old horse who had never seen a cross-country course to her first event. I spent most of my time hyperventilating in the barn instead of running around with my camera. Here are some XC fences:
