Yesterday I had the opportunity to gallop a track for the first time on what felt like world class footing at ‪#‎tryoninternationalequestriancenter‬. More coverage will be out soon but I thought I'd beat them to the punch so you can hear it straight from the horses mouth. After galloping a portion of the track I could honestly say Mark has figured out the formula for beautiful footing. I was skeptical that the footing was either going to be too premature where I'd be slipping everywhere, or too bouncy with the talk of synthetic ground. It was neither. The grass was super thick, the root system is deep and the footing is firm. I galloped at various speeds and through turns to test the stability of the footing. There was no slipping nor did I ever punch in deep or saw grass flying up behind me. This is going to be a Championships course, so buckle up and be prepared. My horse Monte was wonderful with the drone flying about so there will be some video out soon as well so you can see for yourself. The future for Eventing at TIEC is really bright and expanding. These guys not only work fast, they work smart.‪#‎unitedstateseventingassociation‬ ‪#‎EricDierks‬ ‪#‎americaneventingchampionships‬#tryoninternationalequestriancenter

EN would like to thank Mary Getsey Bernier for her report on the Retired Racehorse Training Project Challenge.  Three trainers worked with off-track thoroughbreds for five weeks, displaying their progress at the Pennsylvania Horse Expo where Mary was witness to the event.  This was a wonderful project to showcase the talent and ability of OTTBs.  Thanks for writing, Mary, and thanks for reading!

Eric Dierks, a four-star rider and respected trainer/clinician, was kind enough to send us this article he wrote for Eventing Nation’s reading pleasure.  To learn more about Eric, check out his website, and I particularly recommend Eric’s blog which has some great posts.  Thanks for writing this Eric and thank you for reading.
