How promising the year 2020 started! But a different takeoff, or flight trajectory, or something, mighta been good, and now we’re already picking the dirt out of our teeth, thinking about the next re-route, eventer-style. Good news: While the season has been sliced and diced, there’s still plenty of eventing left to be done this year for those who want to do so (we respect those who are choosing to just peace out for a while, too). We thank our friends at USEA for working so diligently to keep the 2020 event calendar up-to-date and we sympathize especially with organizers — we’ll be back out to support you as soon as we can!
As eventers look to reroute their trajectories from AEC or other championship goals, we’ve tried to collate a current list of what’s been canceled and what’s still standing, on the 2020 event calendar:
