19 May Rolex: A Great Event
By Chrissy West, photos courtesy of Elaine Groves -We are delighted to share this Member Report telling us about the experience of the Rolex Three Day Event in Kentucky.- What hashtag would you use to sum up Rolex 3 day event? #fangirls Emily Embree, Elaine Groves and I all got to Lexington on Thursday evening and we couldn't sleep that night for the life of us. When Friday morning rolled around, we were up and bundled up in sweatshirts and jackets because cold weather was in the forecast!! There was frost on the ground at the Horse Park – no joke! First things first, we shopped. So much horse stuff everywhere, I could have bought one of everything for Minion! Next was dressage, our seats were perfect – right on the corner of M! There were so many amazing rides and what a great 4* test. It really put the riders' and horses' abilities to the test.

02 May The Luck of the Draw
By Alex Varsico Whoever said that high school years are the best years of our lives obviously didn’t go to college. At least, that’s my opinion after attending St. Andrews University in Laurinburg, North Carolina for the past two semesters. It is almost inconceivable for me to write about completing my freshman year in college, working my way towards a double major in Equine Business and Communications and riding on two intercollegiate equestrian teams within the St. Andrews Equestrian Program. Could it be that over a year ago I was receiving my Senior Award at the SEDA banquet?

Covington’s team was founded in 2010 and based its criteria upon the guidelines established by (USEF) United States Equestrian Federation’s High School athlete program. Once word got out about Covington High’s equestrian team, enthusiasm for the program abounded on the Northshore. Other schools followed suit to start their own programs, using Covington’s criteria to develop their own lettering expectations.
