Does Your Horse Trial Have Flying Volunteers?


Yeah, I didn't think so!

That's right, paratroopers.  The US Army's Golden Knights skydiving team, no less -- at Southern Eighths next weekend!  I told you there is nothing like Heart of the Carolinas 3DE & HT!

Even wore his helmet; pic thx to best-of-web.com
Thank you in advance to the team & to the All Veteran Group, whom they jump for (check out the photos!), for not just making an incredible entrance but volunteering as jump judges on endurance day!  I can't end any of these sentences without an exclamation point!

Anyone who spends any time in eventing knows not a single one of our competitions could happen without an insane amount of planning & uncountable volunteers.  I believe this now negates all excuses for not volunteering at least one day a year!!  ;)

Huge thanks as well to all of the sponsors who have chipped in (and ok, I can't resist, check out a particularly epically dorky awesome media partner),  large and small; we couldn't do it without you!  The event's official sponsor page is here, but I'd like to put in print our gratitude to:

National Classic Series & Prize Sponsors:

Heart of the Carolinas Sponsors (you might recognize some names!):

...and more to come!

      That place truly never fails to blow my mind, I can't wait to see it go down (haha, down, literally)!
