Because we have such a great team of people—including every last volunteer—that help put the whole thing on, our Fall Horse trials once again ran really well. We were able to make our footing on cross-country work out in spite of our drought—I felt it was some of the best footing around all year—thanks to my partner, Tom Finnen’s, countless hours on the aggravator.
It always amazes me what a great team we have, so efficient that the Monday before, you wouldn’t know an event was about to happen, and the Monday after, you wouldn’t know it had happened! By Sunday night, every single flag, flower, ring, rope, tent and sign is down and put away.
Christy Stauffer and her partner in crime, Lisa Welch, assemble the A-team of people that surround us and help out. I feel truly blessed to be part of the horse trials because of the amazing group of people I get to work with.
I hope I haven’t forgotten anyone, huge thanks to:

Once again we were able to make a donation to The Stroke Comeback Center, and I was so pleased and proud to be able to help out such a great organization. Here’s a link to a story about my relationship with the Center, published in Middleburg Life, http://www.middleburglife.com/news/2016/10/23/eventer-jan-byyny-gives-back-to-stroke-comeback-center.
