If a picture is worth a thousand words, Richland Park’s competitors, spectators and volunteers wrote a novel on Instagram this weekend. I’ll let you tell the story of how we’ll remember this year’s event.
Chapter 1: That Saturday morning rain …
My life at Richland Park today. How many times can I fill this wheelbarrow with water? Let’s take bets! #RichlandParkCIC #rainyday #international #competition #torrential #stormwatch #eventer #eventerprobs #horseshow #horseshowlife #horseshowstyle #horsegirlproblems A video posted by Kristy Gasparini (@gasparinieventing) on
This superstar jumped around the Tough Mudder, I mean, Richland Park CIC* to finish with just 1 second of time. We’ll take it. HUGE thank you to @allieknowles86 and the entire AK Eventing family for all of their help this weekend. It’s been amazing! #Amistoso #DreamTeam A photo posted by Alexa Eleanor Ehlers (@alexa.eleanor) on
Chapter 2: Sometimes the sky seemed to be in limbo. Were we getting sunburned? Was it about to rain? Red sky in morning, sailor’s warning? Or were we all just about to get raptured?

Chapter 4: Dogs on cross country jumps and decor shaped like animals definitely gets a separate chapter.

Chapter 6: Wait, did we skip dressage? Dressage too (I guess)!
