Twin Rivers Fall Horse Trials: Sept. 18-20 in Paso Robles Advanced to Intro and CCI2*-S to CCI4*-S are on tap for these Horse Trials that had an unprecedented turn-out last year. Of course, this is a very different year, but the appetite for competitions that can be safely staged seems to be huge, so there are expectations of another big event. The Baxter family that owns and operates Twin Rivers Ranch and the eventing competitions have added enforcement of COVID safety protocols to their resume of continual upgrades to the property and fostering a fun, family vibe for all exhibitors. Hugh Lochore brought his course design expertise to the Advanced tracks last year and rider feedback from those who ran them in March was very positive. The inaugural Spring CCI4*-L set for April had to be scrapped because of COVID, but summer events have been successful, safe and popular. Most likely spectators still won’t be allowed, per USEF and county guidelines, but volunteers are much needed as always and there’s no better seat in the house than jump judge, score runner or gate person.

CDS & Region 7 Championships: Sept. 24-27 in Del Mar Glenda McElroy is at the organizational helm and, of course, COVID-19 protocols and practices will be strictly adhered to.

Sept. 23-27 and Sept. 30-Oct. 4 in Sacramento The Longines FEI World Cup qualifier that is usually the centerpiece of the Sacramento International’s two weeks was cancelled but the rest of the show is on. Welcome Week, Set. 23-27, hosts the NorCal Finals to get things off to a strong start. Somehow in their free time, West Palms organized livestreamed Zoom meetings with Michael Nyuis Scholarship recipients and two stars. Transplanted Californian Lauren Kardel spoke about being a black equestrian and Olympian McLain Ward answered the group’s good questions. Very cool to be able to listen in on those chats!
