Just because all the competitions are in the south or in California doesn’t mean the competitions are warm. Pine Top was subject to just such a cold front last weekend, which left everyone including the dogs scrambling for layers.

Your Wednesday News & Notes

Riding with a top clinician can be extremely validating or utterly demoralizing. Luckily for Lauren Sprieser, it was the former when she got the chance to ride with Isabell Werth. After going out on a limb to acquire her new ride Elvis, she spent the next three months breaking him down to basics. It paid off in the clinic when Isabell immediately announced them ready to kick it up a gear. [When the Queen Met the King]

Nana Dalton has a long trek back to get to Badminton after a double mastectomy. Nana is bravely bearing all in her life, the pain of surgery, the realization that it’s not always a quick rebound, and the relief of getting back on a horse. [Getting Back on My Feet]

In a few weeks, Andrew Hoy will sit on his old friend Rutherglen again. The pair, who tackled the London Olympics in 2012 together, will reunite at the Bruce’s Field Eventers’ Grand Prix. Andrew flew out to ride Rutherglen in January and reports that his junior rider is doing an exemplary job of keeping the horse well-tuned. [London Pair Reunite]
