Eventers in the Community: Lauren Kieffer and Hannah Sue Burnett Visit Career Day at Coleman Elementary School
Lauren Kieffer and Hannah Sue Burnett spent their morning with the first graders at the W.G. Coleman Elementary School in Marshall, Va. as part of the school's career month. The riders presented a slide show with photos of themselves and their horses in action, including shots demonstrating the many facets of being a professional horseback rider.
The riders also brought in some competition ribbons and equipment for the students to see. The kids were engaged and enthusiastic about learning all that they could from Kieffer and Burnett, and asked a range of questions, from "How do you win a competition?" to "How much do horses cost?" to "Who is your favorite horse?" After they got to examine a horse's bridle and try on a riding helmet, the students lined up for autographs from the riders.

Soaked, but Not Shaken: Boyd Martin Flies the Flag for the U.S. at Defender Kentucky in Second
Boyd Martin and the 12-year-old Holsteiner gelding Commando 3 were the last pair to go in the Defender Kentucky CCI5*-L field on Friday afternoon and were warmly greeted to the bluegrass with an impressive downpour that outshined anything the other horse and rider pairs had to combat throughout the day. But that didn’t stop this pair from putting their best foot forward and impressing the judges enough to earn them a score of 26.0, just 0.2 points ahead of second-place pair Tom McEwen (GBR) and Brookfield Quality.
