It’s almost time for one of the busiest eventing weekends in North America as riders from all over the country gather at the Kentucky Horse Park for this year’s American Eventing Championships.
This is one of the strongest entry lists we’ve seen in awhile (word is over 1,000 entries were taken this year), so it’s sure to be an action-packed, fun-filled weekend in Lexington, Kentucky. How often do we get to check galloping around the fabled Horse Park off our bucket list? For all of you competing this week: get off your phone, soak it in, and take a moment to enjoy this sport we call home.
It takes a tried and true village to pull any event off, and one of this magnitude relies heavily on the manpower of dozens of hard working staff, volunteers, judges, officials, photographers, and media members. Remember to say thank you (and shop at the trade fair)!
