The UGA Eventing Team IS Insanity in the Middle

Needless to say, when we here at EN noticed that the University of Georgia Eventing Team showed up to last weekend’s Chattahoochee Hills H.T. College Team Challenge with not just one…

Fetty the UGA Eventing chinchilla is ready for his go around the Intermediate here at Chatt Hills! Go collegiate eventing! @ugaeventing @goeventing #eventer #chatthills #eventerproblems #ugaeventing #crosscountry #chinchilla #insanityinthemiddle

but TWO actual, real-life chinchillas, one of which is named “Fetty”…

The chinchillas are having a winning weekend here at Chatt! Go Dawgs. #eventing #eventer #equestrian #eventerproblems #ugaeventing #chinchilla #chatthills

…we freaked out a little.

I mean, who rolls up to an event with an entourage of chinchillas, plural? Besides EN, but our Chinch is — don’t tell him we told you this — kind of a stuffed animal.

It’s a beautiful day for watching cross country at #TheFork!

Further stalking these UGA cats dawgs on Instagram, one thing became clear: Not only are they straight-up ballers who, in addition to a solid finish at Chattahoochee Hills clinched the Intercollegiate Win at Poplar Place H.T. a couple weeks ago…

Our team had team had some great rides in dressage and on XC today. Hoping for clear rounds in stadium tomorrow. Go dawgs!

…and have team spirit to spare…

Team member, Emily Cardin, and her horse, Storm, show their team spirit by sporting the Super G. Keep an eye on this pair at our Team Challenge this semester!

Thankfully, their horses seem to have a sense of humor as well.

Work hard…

Ava Mohiuddin took second in her training and helped the UGA/Auburn team place third overall. Emily Cox also placed second in her training division and won the silver among all collegiate riders. Our teams finished 5th and 7th overall. Congrats to all our riders on an awesome weekend! Go Dawgs!
