International Event Forum at Hartpury College

Travelled over to England last week for the International Event Forum at Hartpury. This was my second time attending, and once again I wrote my 'observations of the day' for the organisers. This day should be a MUST for riders and all involved in the sport. It is a serious day for people serious about eventing. The demonstrations by Ferdi Eilberg, Eric Smiley, Maria Gretzer and William and Alice Fox Pitt were absorbing - even more so through the quality of their guinea pigs Mary King, Ruth Edge, Laura Collett, Lucy Weigersma and Harry Meade. Was well entertained the previous night and flew home after the day had ended. Put a date in the diary for next year, Monday 6th February!
