I am always fascinated when riders cross disciplines. When I started riding, one of the reasons I chose eventing over pure show jumping and dressage is that eventing seemed like the truest all around test of riding. If you could event then you could do dressage or show jumping but not necessarily vice versa. More and more eventers are crossing over to train in the pure show jumping world, whether at HITS in Ocala, jumping shows in northern Virginia, or elsewhere and on the other hand, show jumper Marilyn Little-Meredith has made a successful transition from show jumping to eventing. Here’s a video look at Marilyn Little-Meredith (above), and the eventer who sometimes show jumps, Kate Chadderton (below), competing this past weekend at the Howard County Community College Columbia Classic Grand Prix–that’s HCCCCCGP for short. You can read more about Kate’s weekend at her blog. The videos are courtesy of EN tipster McKenna.
Go eventing.
