A heartfelt thank you to all competitors for your dedication to our sport. Clay Station Horse Park is proud to continue to offer these events each year, and we can only do so because of your continued support and commitment.

Our team and our competitors alike faced many challenges while the Summer Festival CDE unfolded. From truck troubles to golf cart woes, endless wasp nests to the oppressive afternoon heat, there were a good number of excuses anyone could have used to suggest maybe just trying again in October. But management and competitors pressed on, and our officials made wise decisions to protect the welfare of our drivers and equines while still allowing the show to go on- such as allowing no jackets and reducing section A. We were also lucky that the longest scheduled day was the coolest!

We hope that despite these challenges, a great time was had by all- and we very much hope that you are ready to come back in just a few months for the Fall Classic CDE.

A special thank you to our volunteers, volunteer coordinator, officials, and backstage elves. You are appreciated more than you know; you know who you are. 💕

Get home safely, everyone!

My beloved BJ crossed over the rainbow 🌈 bridge at 11:35 pm. I was with her when she crossed, so she wasn't alone. 16 years is not enough. How many times can the human heart ❤️ break? With much love comes great heartache they say. I just wonder how I'm going to get along without her here. Rest well, my love-until we meet again. I will always love you!! ❤️

Going to be an epic show! I hope y'all got your entries in!!! See you soon!!
