Young Riders get the same FEI medals as the World Equestrian Games champions and they will compete in the same arenas–again. Young Riders will return to the Kentucky Horse Park for the third consecutive year in 2011. The dates have been set from July 27th to the 31st, 2011. Personally, I feel like the Horse Park should be a permanent home for Young Riders because of it’s relatively central geographical location. There is never a perfect solution to finding a location close to Canada, the entire US, and Mexico, but the Horse Park is a fabulous host for big events and at least helps to reduce the travel time for the Midwest and West Coast competitors.

Lastly, I’ll leave Eventing Nation with an unrelated but brilliant photo that Megan Kepferle (Doug’s groom) sent me Tuesday night. This is Meg and Sara Ike from Boekelo a few weeks ago. In the picture, Sara is probably looking at texts on her phone and wondering “why is John asking me for fantasy football advice?”
