If you build it, will they come? In the case of Full Moon Farm’s second recognized horse trials, the answer is YES! After last years very successful inaugural horse trials, the Fultons wanted to keep the momentum going strong as they headed into the final recognized event of 2015 in Area II. They accomplished this with style and ease as the parking area was beyond full with horses and rigs. It is great to see farms and families just like the Fultons have success not once but twice. Kudos to Full Moon Farm on ending 2015 with a bang.

UMD has an Eventing Team: A total of 22 members make up the newly formed University of Maryland Eventing Team that will compete as individuals and as a team with the USEA. Although the university already has an IHSA team and an Equestrian Club, there was a void for eventers. Currently weekly lessons take place at Waredaca where members that do not own a horse can lease one to ride and compete. [New Eventing Team Overcomes Equestrian Opportunity Hurdles]
