Win a month of training with Phillip Dutton

The only catch is that you have to compete at an event in Australia to qualify.  ESJ sent me the the details and explained that Phillip’s parents, Peter and Mary Dutton run the “Mid Western” event in Australia, held from April 16th to 17th in Phillip’s hometown of Nyngan, Australia.  As you can probably tell from the name Nyngan, the event is in the middle of nowhere.  Phillips parents have developed the savvy idea of attracting eventers to their event by offering a Phillip Dutton Eventing Scholarship to their entrants based on their resume and performance at the Mid Western competition.  The entrants will also submit a short resume and the selection will be made by a small selection committee.  The prize will include 4 weeks accommodation and tuition, plus airfare to PA.  No word on if the horse’s airfare is included but somehow I doubt it.  But, this is yet another example of brilliant ingenuity by event organizers and I hope their event is absolutely packed with entrants.  Go eventing.  [Scholarship Details via ESJ]
