I am a big believe that we could make eventing a lot more entertaining by introducing popular “traditions” of mainstream sports. Take touchdown celebrations, for example. Boyd goes into the lead at Rolex on Friday afternoon, dismounts, and gives us all a rousing rendition of the dougie. Streaking is another time honored tradition that would make eventing a lot more exciting. After Jon Holling’s streaking at Bromont, the trend seemed to be gaining momentum when we were sent the above photo from the Surefire Horse Trials this weekend. However, we quickly received an update from photographer Lisa Morrison. Lisa spoke with Jan Byyny and, instead of a captured streaker on course, the photo reportedly depicts the “Surefire sun god” who makes sure the sun shines for the event. The sun god is also Jan’s nephew. Here are a few other photos from Surefire, also from Lisa Morrison with many thanks to Lisa for sending them our way:
In the intermediate, Meghan O’Donoghue and The Pirate finished on the same score as Buck Davidson and Park Trader, but they were closer to the optimum time on cross-country

We have an outstanding welcome for any and all streaking photos, please send them to [email protected]. Please streak responsibly. Go eventing.
