West Coast Riders at Rolex!

We are fast approaching the 2015 Rolex Kentucky 3 Day Event - the only 4-star eventing competition in the western hemisphere. Top riders and horses in the sport will be competing, some all the way from Europe and Australia!

I have many favorite riders and horses from all over the world that I'll be cheering on, but wanted to give a special highlight to those from the west coast. As of today, we have *13* riders from the west coast out of 88 total entrants.  Here's a list of west coast riders, with some Rolex facts thrown in!
