Eventing Rally 2014 The Horseketeers had another great weekend showing their horses at the USPC Sunshine Region’s annual Eventing Rally.   This time the club formed a scramble team with two other riders (Tori T. and Madison O.) from other clubs.   Consisting of three disciplines (dressage, show jumping, and cross country) Eventing is one of the most challenging and exciting of all equine sports.  While the team did well through the dressage portion, a challenging course caused more than one hiccup for the riders on the cross country course.   Nonetheless, the Horseketeers kicked on and rode hard to have every rider complete the course!
