Happy Independence Day to our US contingent — which might sound a funny thing to say, since EN is, at its core, US-based, and began as a way to follow US eventers at home and abroad. But over the last few years, as we’ve expanded our team and our coverage, it’s been so gratifying to watch those numbers shift and expand globally, and now, the numbers have skyrocketed so much that our US readership is actually less than half our total reach! We love knowing that readers in the UK, Germany, France, Australia, China, and beyond are tuning in to EN for all their eventing news, and we love bringing it to you on the daily. But to our originals — our US readers and riders — we are so grateful to you for being along for this crazy ride, and we love keeping an extra-close eye on all the cool stuff you get up to with your horses. We hope you all have a great day celebrating!
