Two years ago, the U.S. Eventing Association announced the selection of the Kentucky Horse Park as the 2019 and 2020 USEA American Eventing Championships host site. The partnership was contracted between the USEA and Equestrian Events, Inc. and Mary Fike, with the option to add a third year should the partnership mutually agree to it. The USEA […]
At 33 years old, Amanda Bostian was a little embarrassed to find herself trotting around the show ring with 8-year-olds who’d already mastered the 2′ fences she was just learning to jump. But riding in a horse show at all was a huge accomplishment for Bostian since she’d taken a nine-year break from competition after […]
*Warning! This article contains graphic images of a serious injury. Shelby Bluthardt saw nothing amiss at first when her horse Gettysburg IX trotted toward the gate for his dinner. Then she noticed chunks of tail stuck in the gate hinge and littering the ground. “I look over and see half his tail is gone, and […]

Nicole Walker, who also finished fourth in the individual final with Falco […]
A healthy bay colt with a wide, white blaze clambered up on wobbly legs in the early hours of Jan. 3, 2017, at Brookdale Farm in Versailles, Kentucky. Like thousands of Thoroughbreds born each year, this one was bred with the hope that in time he might surge past a field of like-minded runners to […]

And that was that. Seven weeks went by, and my hand healed. The pins came out on Tuesday afternoon, I rode Elvis—the one of my animals I trust not to be strong or feral or both—Wednesday morning. Farm holiday party Thursday morning, followed by packing-palooza Thursday afternoon. “Christmas” dinner with my partner and his kids […]
Kent Farrington had a stellar week at the CHI Geneva, held Dec 12-15, in Geneva, Switzerland. First he picked up a win in the Trophée de Genève with speedster Creedance. “I brought Creedance here because he is so fast, and he does a lot by himself, so I just try to stay out of his […]
Boston—Dec. 15 It’s been 16 years since U.S. Eventing Association members last met in Boston for their annual meeting and convention, and that meeting in 2003 was the best attended in the organization’s history. Area I was the birthplace of eventing in the United States, so it was fitting that the association board chose to […]
Owning a “made” dressage horse has never been in the budget for Lindsey Schulz. First as a college student, and now as an adult amateur, Schulz’s showing opportunities have been limited to what she could lease, which means she didn’t move up the levels in the traditional fashion. “I didn’t compete at all growing up,” […]
