News & Reading

We’d love your help shaping Season 2 of The Go Eventing Podcast! Take our quick listener survey here and let us know what you want more of in 2026!

The pink and green were out in force this season as Class Act Farm from Apopka, FL racked up two big wins in the USEA Interscholastic Eventing League (IEL). Trainer Jennie Jarnstrom-Dennis has long fostered a positive, team-based barn culture, and when barn mom Courtney Borton suggested forming an IEL Club, the match was natural. Now, with 10 riders on the squad and goals set for the 2026 IEL Championships at Stable View, the Class Act crew is proving that team spirit, horsemanship, and friendship go a long way—whether you’re riding at Starter or an FEI level. Read more on this story here.

During this season of giving, take a moment to appreciate the unsung heroes of our sport: nonprofit horse show venues. From Virginia Horse Center to Paso Robles, Carolina Horse Park to Bruce’s Field, these community-backed facilities reinvest every dollar into footing upgrades, educational programs, and preserving equestrian access for future generations. In a landscape increasingly dominated by commercial venues, these nonprofits keep horsemanship and tradition at the forefront. You can read more and learn how you can give back here.
