That’s right, it’s already that time of year! Somehow, the 2023 season ended just last week and 2024’s is just starting tomorrow. Head down to the Carolina Horse Park March 14-17 for an event to really kick off what is looking to be an intense Olympic Year of competition. The folks at the Setter’s Run Farm Carolina International are already hard at work getting some very pretty logs going, as well as some rather large cabins in the back there.
While this year will start (especially for us here behind the stall curtain at EN) at the Grand-Prix Eventing at Bruce’s Field showcase, our first CCI4* at Carolina is highly anticipated as we begin the nail-biting wait for our long and shortlists for Paris 2024. We only get this high-stakes atmosphere every four years, so take advantage of it and come watch our favorites battle it out!
