Anyone involved in the sport of Eventing understands the
tremendous needs of the sport. Land, facilities, time,
sound horses, quality coaching, and of course, financial
resources. Others not involved in the sport, see these
demands and deduce that there must be some fantastic
reward for those of us competing. Well, thankfully
competitors are not only chasing after their own
personal glory, there is some pretty spectacular
hardware to put on the shelf. Our many thanks to the
stalwart supporters of our local Eventing scene. Without
your passion and generosity, our reward would be much
less tangible. |
