    Our very own Joanne Morse, Vice President of Eventing on our Board of Directors, was quoted in a recent article written by Leslie Threlkeld for US Eventing.

    “We’re seeing a lot more of the higher quality judges,” Morse said. “It did used to be the ‘schooling show the judge will be kind.’ We’re not seeing the sugar coating anymore. Maybe for the amoeba riders, but at the same time, they’re giving them good feedback and still a very positive experience.”
