The new start box at Shepherd Ranch. Photo via AreaVI.org,
Jeff Peters left a hole in the Area VI Eventing community when he suddenly passed away on December 26, 2014. They’ve worked hard to make sure Jeff’s memory isn’t forgotten, and raised money through Go Fund Me to build this beautiful permanent start box at Shepherd Ranch in tribute to his memory. It’s stories like this that truly show how eventing draws together as a family, and helps to support each other in times of need or grief. [The Jeffrey Scott Memorial Startbox]

This week in Behind the Stall Door is our very own Donner. Things you may not know about Donner is that he is pretty friendly to other horses, and he is also allergic to his own sweat. That’s right, his own body breaks out in hives if he isn’t bathed after sweating. [Behind the Stall Door: Donner]
