It’s a little bit belated, but I had to share this awesome float on this weekend’s July 4th parade in Lexington. Cathy Wieschhoff, much-loved and respected coach, designer, trainer, drummer, and all around expert-on-all-the-things and her “RelationShip” made an appearance representing Pride Month on the parade route:

There arenβt many tack malfunctions worse than discovering your beloved breastplate or saddle has come down with βthe scumβ. With summer in full swing and with it, plenty of moisture and funk coming home on our tack every ride, itβs no wonder our tack could use some extra love this time of year. Luckily weβve been high on the Sterling Essentials wave, as its simple and natural formulation caught our eye as a way to reduce skin irritants while nourishing the leather, too.

Get to know Swiss Olympian Melody Johner, who will represent the home team this weekend at the FEI Nations Cup leg at Avenches. Melody, along with the very talented Swiss team, will be vying for a spot at this fall’s FEI World Championships, and her Olympic partner Toubleu de Rueire might just be the horse to stamp her ticket.

What’s it like to take part in intercollegiate eventing? I, for one, am green with envy that eventing in college is even a thing these days.

What happens when you’ve built a career, served your country, and find a new sporting passion at age 40? Well, you dive in with both feet, of course! At least that’s what Army veteran Ty Burke decided to do after discovering eventing — in fact, his first action was to Google “best eventer in the world” and call one of the top hits: Boyd Martin. Now, he’s a full-time eventer in training with Lillian Heard and he isn’t regretting his decision in the least. [Amateur Spotlight: Ty Burke]
