First UGA College Eventing Team Challenge a Success
The Intercollegiate Team Challenge at FENCE this past weekend was a huge success. Everywhere you looked there were groups of blue, orange, and red. These were the groups of riders and their supporters from the University of Kentucky, Clemson University, and the University of Georgia that gathered to compete in this first such contest in our area. There was so much excitement in the air as the girls, the alumnae, families, and friends rode and cheered for each other, and there were many reasons for each team to cheer! The University of Georgia came away with the trophy, but each team had individual and team wins and placings. Everyone had plenty to be proud and excited about last weekend. Mainly, the prospect of an active Intercollegiate Eventing League that spans the country, giving more young eventers the opportunity to remain active in eventing during college, introduce them to other eventers at their school and in their age group, and introduce more people to the sport. If your school does not yet have an eventing team or club, organize one yourself and get started! You only need four riders, but can have as many as you want on the team. If you need any help or have any questions, just contact any one of the teams who competed at FENCE. They will attest to the fun and excitement of a new way of eventing!

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.

Beware of Phishing Attempts and Other Types of Fraud
Please always remain vigilant when it comes to sending any personal communications via email or text. Every year we receive reports of members and leaders of our sport receiving phishing attempts both online and by phone. These are often communications disguised as being sent from USEA staff or other leaders. As the years go on, the phishing attempts appear to be more directed and tailored.
