Look, look — The sun is shinning in Vermont! GMHA’s Festival Schooling Weekend, a replacement for the flood-canceled Festival of Eventing recognized horse trials, is officially underway. The Ashuelot Pony Club helped out by jump crewing and ring stewarding during yesterday’s jumper day, but there’s much more work to be done. If you’ve got the afternoon free you can still lend a hand in GMHA’s cleanup efforts today from 1-5 PM, followed by a Volunteer Appreciation Taco Party at 5:30 PM. Can’t make it? You can always send a tax-deductible donation here (but I can’t guarantee you’ll receive any tacos.)

Sponsor Corner: Few things went together better than Arthur and Allison Springer (well, except for maybe chocolate and peanut butter). The two spent 12 years together competing at the FEI level — which is no small feat. And while it would be a rare horse who could fill Arthur’s hoofprints, Allison has some very exciting new horses in her string.
