The sunny skies of the Arizona desert made for a perfect setting as USEA members from across the country joined together for a show jumping course design seminar taught by the legendary Richard Jeffery. The day began with a classroom session as Richard explained the intricacies of course design. The participants then had a chance to put their new knowledge into action as they built a course in the jump ring at Frederic Bouland’s facility at Pinnacle Peak Equestrian Center. Three demo riders then rode the courses as Richard and the attendees analyzed the striding, flow, safety, and multitude of other factors. The Show Jumping Course Design Seminar was the first activity of the 2010 USEA Annual Meeting and Convention. Leslie Mintz Photos.

Growing up as a self-proclaimed “free-range child” on her family’s Dragonfire Farm in California, Taylor McFall beelined her way toward horses from the time she could walk. That idyllic childhood helped cement Taylor’s love for horses at an early age.
Whether competing on a U25 team or riding in a senior division, an exciting weekend of sport was had by all at VHC Eventing, presented by Capital Square. With over 450 riders flocking to the historic venue, all three phases ran concurrently with both sides of the cross country course in use and multiple rings in session. This weekend’s winners rose above the fray to take home well-earned blue ribbons.
