A Successful Weekend At The Colorado Horse Park

Early Sunday morning a friend and I heading down to the Colorado Horse Park in Parker, CO to watch our friends ride cross country in the Colorado Horse Park Fall Horse Trials which also include Region 9 USEA Championships!

A friend on her beautiful horse went Intermediate, her horse's first time. The horse had two refusals caused by a confusing flag incident in a combination, but finished strong in the cross country. Personally, I thought it was a perfect and successful ride for the horse's first Intermediate! My vet took second in Open Training with a clean and flawless cross country. The most exciting ride for me to watch was my friend, Angelika ride a clean cross country on her new horse! Her horse is the cutest (want to steal it) little 15.3H Swedish warmblood who was all knees jumping. She took first place in the Region 9 Training Championships! The second best thing to horse showing yourself is watching friends successfully horse show instead. I am really happy for all of them.

I would not consider myself really into eventing compared to other things like show jumping, but it is so easy to be involved in eventing compared to other equestrian disciplines. The scoring system is easy to follow, it's kind of like a football game...you know who is in the lead but there is still that unpredictability of the last quarter or in eventing the last discipline as to who is going to win. The online, live scoring is so fun to keep track of on Event Entries.
