I’ll be there grooming! I do like this event - it’s always fun and a good way to start the season!

I’ll be the curmudgeon here and say I hate the “Eventing Showcase” type events. I think they do nothing to draw people to eventing and in fact detract from it. Unfortunately, I think this is the sad future of the sport. I don’t really blame the pros for participating because its big money, relatively speaking.

Does anyone know if there is a vendor list?

I completely agree with this sentiment, but I think this showcase actually does it properly and at the correct time of the season. There are three proper phases. The cross country is partially on grass, and it’s a great way to get the top horses out for a good run before their CCI’s.

Such a strange feeling to see Cooley Nutcracker’s rider as Boyd (although I know hes been keeping some of the horses going)

Hope they have a great go in Liz’s honor!!

It’s hard to be a fan to not be a fan. If the showcase format is where it’s going, I’m here for it.
