In case you missed it, the USEF released the training lists. Lucky for everyone here, John has been able to provide some thoughts to help you process the lists. Hopefully a list of training sessions will be provided so everyone can stop by for a little education. I am all about getting the education right now. While I don’t really have too many opinions about the list, I am happy that the USEF has finally decided to put Jules Stiller on a list. She has been producing good results for quiet some time now and its about dang time they take notice.

Jennie reflects on her time in Germany. Admitting that both she and Ping are green, Jennie plans to do another three star before moving back up. While I am sure Jennie was disappointed with her result, what she learned in Germany is invaluable. She will no doubt have more tools in her box for the next time out at that level. World watch out- when Jennie B. gets all her tools out of the box, they will be unstoppable.
Because I think guilty dogs are so cute, and because I couldn’t find a guilty chinchilla…
Stay cool. Stay classy. Eat chocolate. Go Eventing.
