Well, the festival of equestrian sports that is known as CHIO Aachen has already gotten underway with the Vaulting competition this past weekend, but our interest lies in this upcoming weekend, as this is the first year that the U.S. has been able to field a team for CICO3* competition. Our Eventing team will be Tiana Coudray with Ringwood Magister, and Will Faudree (Hoffman, NC) makes a return to the venue of the 2006 FEI World Equestrian Games having represented the U.S. at those championships; in 2013 he rides Jennifer Mosing’s Pawlow. Marilyn Little (Fredrick, MD) will ride her Raylyn Farms Inc. and Phoebe and Michael Manders’ RF Smoke on the Water. Rounding out the American effort is Clark Montgomery (Wiltshire, UK) and Jessica Montgomery, Carole Montgomery, Janet Higgins, and Elizabeth Smith’s Universe.

Jenni will be along shortly with a preview of the action, but let’s just take a moment to see what CHIO Aachen 2012 looked like, and precisely how jealous we should all feel that she is going over to see the action in person, flown by Chinchilla Air.
