Tuesday News & Notes from Cavalor

Congratulations to Collegiate Team Challenge participants at FENCE! Photo submitted by Pat Salomon Congratulations to Collegiate Team Challenge participants at FENCE! Photo submitted by Pat Salomon

After a fun and eventful weekend, Pat Salomon sent us an email following the FENCE Horse Trials:

I was hoping we could get in a brag about our Collegiate Team Challenge, which had 6 colleges and 38 riders. I’m attaching a photo of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners. Bright’s Creek, a local residential, equestrian and golfing community, was our presenting sponsor (first time we have had a corporate sponsor) and gave the winners a weekend at Bright’s Creek for 2 and their horses, a bottle of champagne which was immediately opened and sprayed (NASCAR fashion) all over and a crystal vase to be engraved with the winners’ names.

Congratulations to all participants! Check out EN’s FENCE coverage, and Go Eventing.

News & Notes

Is it Rolex yet?! Whether you’re watching Rolex from the comfort of your home (or office, as I did last year – don’t tell!) on USEF Network or seeing the action up close and in person, it’s safe to say that Rolex Fever has set in among EN Staff and readers alike. Be sure to check out EN’s coverage of our own personal Rolex Fever, from “7 Things You Must Do at Rolex” to our annual reader appreciation tailgate party. Stay tuned for more insanity in the middle as the fever intensifies!

Video of the Day: Brendan Quinn of the USC-Aiken Eventing Team posted this helmet cam video of his 3rd place Preliminary ride at FENCE. His horse Smoke may or may not have the cutest ears I’ve ever seen.
