The past weekend’s Larkin Hill H.T. was the first official USEA Area I event of the season, and by all accounts everyone was excited to not only be celebrating the Fourth of July, but also to be back out competing. And let’s all keep doing our part to keep it that way! We hear that Larkin Hill did an amazing job of mandating all COVID-19 social distancing guidelines and everyone willingly abided by the rules and respected one other’s personal space. Not that we would expect anything different from the eventing community!

Video: “Doug Payne is a 5* event rider AND a Grand Prix show jumper. BUT WAIT, there’s more. He is additionally a fantastic hunter rider. Watch him pilot Quiberon around the Green Hunter 3’6″ course at Tryon Summer 5 to a second place. I’m in awe of the smoothness!” — Lynn Mueller via Jumper Nation
