This weekend the eventer once again became the organizer, and I had the privilege of working alongside some of the best horsemen in the American West to put on the Freedom Fest mini-event at the new Skyline Eventing Park in Mount Pleasant, Utah. Each event we put on, things go a little bit smoother, our roles become a little more defined and empowered, and every time we are more humbled that we get to open up this venue to such eager participants. It’s not always easy being an Area IX eventer or organizer, but it’s always a blast.
Best of all, we were able to share in the major Fourth of July Weekend festivities in the little town where our event is held, and we had several riders out to the support the rodeo Friday night, and plenty of townies and rodeo participants came out to support us, as well! We don’t always understand everything about each other, but we know passion and commitment when we see it. Basically America, guys. It’s the best.
