We at SEE would like to thank the USEA Foundation and United States Eventing Association for their continued support of the work we are doing to expand diversity, inclusivity and access to horse sports for underrepresented people.
The Olympic gold medallists Tom McEwen and JL Dublin lit up the arena at the MARS Badminton Horse Trials with a stunning performance and took the lead after the first day of dressage with the excellent mark of 22.4. They have almost five penalties over second-placed Emily King and Valmy Biats on 27.3.
