Haley Honegger is not your typical trainer’s kid. Sure she competes in the 1.10-meter jumpers, but she can also be found team penning on the western circuit, training and reselling auction projects, and even riding sheep. The daughter of Alexia Honegger, Haley, 10, trains at her family’s Millbrook Equestrian in Elizabeth, Colorado. On her way […]
About a month ago, my horse starting acting like one short side of the indoor arena was going to swallow her whole. She’s lived at the same barn for four months now, and I’ve ridden her in this same indoor pretty much daily. In my eyes, nothing had changed at this end of the ring. […]

Eventing fans and top-level competitors were disappointed to learn today, Feb. 2, that the country’s biggest event, the Land Rover Kentucky CCI5*-L, will not run in 2021. A year after the 2020 event was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s edition faced financial difficulties relating to the pandemic that were too much to […]
The Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event will not hold its famed CCI5*-L this year, previously scheduled for April 22-25. The Kentucky CSI3* Invitational Grand Prix and other events are being explored to be held over that weekend but without spectators. “We have been working with U.S. Equestrian, the Kentucky Horse Park, and state and local government […]
Andrea Mewhinney remembers one groom picking up her gift bag from The Grooms Award at the Pennsylvania National Horse Show. “She looked in the bag, and we said to her, ‘That’s for you,’ ” Mewhinney recalled. “We told her, ‘It’s not for your rider; it’s not for the trainer; it’s for you.’ She burst into […]
