This past season especially, there’s been a lot of talk throughout Area 1 and the wider eventing community about “weather-proofing” events i.e. ensuring venues can survive amidst the occurrence of extreme weather. Huntington Farm of South Strafford, Vermont is looking at this past season, which was riddled with heaving rain and flooding, as a learning experience and an opportunity to upgrade the facility with new drainage systems now that they know which parts of the property are the problem areas. Hats off to Huntington — this can’t be an inexpensive undertaking, but what a season they’re going to have in store for us!
