James Alliston had a very successful weekend at Galway winning the CCI***, the final event in the 2011 PRO Tour Series, the CCI*, and finishing second in the CCI**. Despite the soggy weather, Robert Kellerhouse really upped the level of the event with great video coverage and superior social marketing.

Congratulations to Kadi Eykamp who won $3,000 in the SSG "Go Low For The Dough" CCI*** promotion at Galway. If you haven't already seen the video, check out how well this has worked out for Kadi! Amateur rider, Jeanine Allred, from Idaho, won $1,500 for the low score in the CCI** dressage with her SSG Eventer gloves.

The Cosequin Stuart Horse Trials has listened to rider feedback and committed to improving the ground for next year. They have already started work on the cross-country tracks by using an Agri-slicer that cuts 8" into the soil and can twist to really open up the ground and let the winter snows soak in. The show jumping arena has already been rolled and aerated this fall. Heidi Stuart Vahue emphasized, "The riders spoke and we listened!" The following photos are courtesy of Heidi.
