From Equitation To Eventing

By USEA

Lucy Molinari is a longtime Hunter/Jumper trainer and the coach of the Kennesaw State University Equestrian Team, however, last weekend she traded in her hunt coat for a safety vest and won first place in the Beginner Novice Rider Division at the Chattahoochee Hills Horse Trials. When KSU student and dedicated eventer, Brittany Wyatt, was begged by some friends to join the KSU Equestrian Team Lucy jokingly told Brittany if she won one of the equitation classes at the IHSA shows, Lucy would try out eventing. Well only a short time later Brittany took home a ribbon in a class, and made Lucy hold up her end of the bargain! Lucy partnered with Therese Wyatt’s 16-year-old Warmblood gelding, Kozmo, and scored an impressive 22.9 in the dressage and only added a few show jumping time penalties to take home the blue.

Rule Refresher: Understanding Cross-Country Faults

Eventing combines three phases: dressage, show jumping, and cross-country. It is arguable that many eventers compete in this sport because of the cross-country phase. It's a fan-favorite for sure with its wide open galloping tracks, a wide variety of obstacles to jump, and the ability to encounter natural elements such as water, banks, ditches, and more!

Luke 140 Steps into the Spotlight at Stable View CCI4*-S

Boyd Martin has always believed in Luke 140 since he came to his barn in 2019. The fiery bay gelding has completed one five-star, in 2023 at Luhmühlen (Germany) where they were fourth, but injuries have meant he’s had to sit out a couple of seasons and miss out on selection for two Olympic Games, most recently in 2024.
