The University of Kentucky is bringing the highest number of teams recorded in the history of Championships with over 8 teams, the University of Louisville has doubled their Championship entries from their debut in 2019, almost every school entered is bringing at least two teams, and the new Graduate division will have a variety of schools represented.

When Alice Sarno was 8 years old, she begged her parents for riding lessons. “All I could do was think about horses,” said Sarno, 75, recalling that they eventually agreed. “They finally gave up on giving me dance lessons and got me horseback riding lessons instead. My mom and dad made a deal thinking I would phase right out of it. But by the next year, I had two more horses.”
The USEA is saddened to report that horsewoman Lefreda Williams died on Aug. 29. She was 87. Williams was a pillar of the North Carolina equestrian community and a founding member of the Carolina Horse Park in Raeford, North Carolina.
Alpenglow Pony Club hosted the fourth annual Red Mountain Horse Trials and Eventing Clinic on Aug. 7-10 in Palmer, Alaska. Yes, that’s by far the northern-most eventing activity in the United States!
