U.S. Eventing Association To Launch Redesigned Website
The United States Eventing Association will be launching a dramatically redesigned website on February 9 that will enhance the online experience of USEA members and eventing enthusiasts alike. The redesigned site – the result of over a year of organization, design, testing, and feedback – utilizes a design that gives every member of the eventing community whether a competitor, trainer, volunteer, official, or supporter an instinctual place to find the materials they need. To preview the USEA’s redesigned website visit beta.useventing.com. Please take the time to get used to the new design and then give us feedback using the webform.

Two Horses, Two Three-Days: Part 2
Did you miss part one of Katie’s blog series? Check it out here.
By Katie Wherley
Hi Everyone!
I just wanted to give a quick update before I leave for Aiken. With snow on the ground, I decided now was a good time to get some work done on my computer.
For the past few years, I’ve only been able to go south for one to two weeks at a time. Being the primary caretaker for my barn in Maryland, it’s hard to leave for any extended period of time … but I’ve been able to make it through, thanks to my indoor arena and some creativity.
