Today is National Encourage a Young Writer Day! We here at EN may be a little biased, but we think that riding and writing go together like peanut butter and jelly. Know of a young rider (or an adult rider for that matter!) who likes to put pen to paper or finger to keyboard? Tell them to submit to Eventing Nation! We love reader submissions!
