From everything I’ve ever learned in life, I know one thing: California knows how to party. With Galway Downs this weekend, I expect to see the party going long and hard. The arrivals are popping up all over Facebook, and the real fun begins tomorrow, when the jogs will be held.

The eventing season is coming to an end, and that means it’s time to plan for next year…right? Horse and Hound brings you the top fourteen things you might be doing or thinking now that the season is wrapping up. While a couple of these are applicable more to England than to the U.S., I think we can all relate. [End of the Eventing Season]

SmartPak Product of the Day: For every horse doing a fall CCI, icing is a part of life. Nothing is worse than fighting with the weight of a muck tub full of icy water, while convincing your horse that yes, he should stand in it for twenty minutes straight. Even more discouraging is when you see that the water doesn’t even cover their knees! I bought this system as a solution, and while I more often than not just use the boots on their own, it is such a game changer. As a bonus, you can also sometimes find the boots sold separately as replacement parts, if you don’t want to go in for the full system. [SmartPak]
