Send Panda and Jeannette to AECs!

My name is Jeannette and my horse's name is Pandamonium, or Panda for short. I am 27 and have been eventing for a little over a year, although I've been riding for over 15 years. Panda is an 11 year old OTTB gelding whom I've owned for a year and a half and who had no previous eventing training when I bought him in August 2013.

We have come a very long way, from our first event in March 2014 to qualifying for the American Eventing Championships (AECs) that are held in Tyler, Texas in September of this year.

Qualifying for the AECs has been a long, expensive road for us. I am a bartender, working student, and dedicated rider. Qualifying included traveling all over Texas to events recognized by the United States Eventing Association and placing in the top 5.

Now that we have our sights set on the AECs we need help getting there! Expenses include the entry fee, gas, and lodging and this is not including the 4 months we have leading up to the AECs that will be filled with plenty of lessons, farrier visits, bags of feed, probably a vet visit or two, and at least one warm up show to make sure we are on point.
