My name is Ketki Hotaling, and I am an Indian American show jumper. I was adopted by two women in Minnesota while I was still an infant. One of their vet technicians invited me out to the barn to see her horse when I was 3, and the rest is history. I was hooked immediately! […]
It caught a lot of eventers by surprise a week ago when they learned that the U.S. Eventing Association’s Cross-Country Safety Subcommittee was recommending a rule change that would significantly toughen the minimum eligibility requirements to move up the levels, as well as establishing a tiered licensing system based on rider experience. “The USEA Cross-Country […]

There is a story my mom likes to tell from when I was 6 years old. I was starting the first grade, and with my school work ramping up, it was clear that I needed to prioritize my numerous extracurricular activities. After some thought, I told my mom that I could play my violin at […]
Count the professionals who’ve competed in hunters, jumpers and reining, and you’d be hard-pressed to come up with an extensive list. Add in dressage, and that list gets even shorter. Then include the caveat that all these competitions had to happen within the span of a week, and you’ve probably whittled the list down to […]
Imagine you’re leaving the ring after laying down the kind of dressage test that sets a new U.S. record for best score. Do you celebrate? Take a moment to bask in how all your hard work has led to this moment? If you’re Phillip Dutton, you hop off, reflect on how the test could still […]
Joanne Vaughan, who competes for the country of Georgia, was injured in a fall at the Adequan Global Dressage Festival in Wellington, Florida, on Feb. 28.
