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!

Pressure Proof Tip with Daniel Stewart: Reframing Isn't About Hanging Pictures

At some point in your riding career, you probably found yourself feeling or dealing with a little fear, failure, or frustration. We’ve all been there. Regardless of whether we’re competitive or recreational, we’ve likely found ourselves getting a bit stuck on stress or a struggle; dealing with a little defeat or disappointment, or feeling overwhelmed or underprepared.
