My mother and I share a first name, Erna, and a passion for riding. We have spent nearly my whole life orbiting each other’s equestrian pursuits. In many ways, we’re incredibly lucky to be able to share such a labor- and time-intensive sport, and given how dedicated we have both been to riding over our […]
In the wake of a since-deleted Facebook post in which retired Canadian show jumper Eric Lamaze wrote about being “targeted” for drug testing, a Fédération Equestre Internationale spokesperson confirmed Thursday, Sept. 14, that the organization is in the midst of legal proceedings against Lamaze over his apparent refusal to submit to testing at a 2021 […]

In recognition of Wednesday’s 60th birthday of Phillip Dutton, who since becoming an American citizen in 2006 has been a stalwart of U.S. eventing teams, representing the U.S. in four of his seven Olympic appearances (Hong Kong 2008, London 2012, Rio de Janeiro 2016 and Tokyo 2021), winning individual bronze in Rio, we’re looking back to […]
