From Jenni Autry
Thank You to everyone who came out to Joseph Murphy Eventing's December clinic at Kealani Farm. It was a jam-packed three days that also conincided with the USEA Area II Annual Meeting, and we had a very full house on Saturday with a slew of people coming out to watch his training demo. We also received a number of generous donations from auditors in support of Jonty Evans and his continued recovery. Thank you to Melissa Stubenberg, Gwen Kriskie, Mike, Juan, and the entire Kealani team for being so wonderful to work with, and a special shout-out goes to the entire Erika Nesler Equestrian team for being jump crew superstars. Last but certainly not least, my horse is a LEGEND.

A youth pipeline is vital. Photo by Holly Covey
You can’t have a sport without a youth pipeline. Every successful sport has one. Bringing up children on ponies, then teens on horses, and finally, young adults on event horses keeps our sport alive — literally.
So, even if you, as an adult eventer, may not have a dog in the young rider hunt, you can recognize the vital importance of the Junior and Young Rider programs in supporting eventing horsemanship and sportsmanship. Our sport has a future, basically because each Area in the United States funds Young Rider (riders aged 16 to 21 years) teams to go to an international competition, and learn what it takes to compete at a high level.
