Rain Can’t Stop the First Day of Competition at 2026 MSEDA at the Park

06/27/2026 8:11 PM | Maddie Ozbun (Administrator)


The first day of MSEDA at the Park concluded Saturday, June 27, at the Kentucky Horse Park after a busy day of competition across three rings. Despite periods of rain and weather delays, competitors, volunteers, and officials worked together to keep the event running safely and smoothly.

While the rain presented a few challenges, volunteers worked tirelessly throughout the day to help create a safe, welcoming, and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

MSEDA at the Park is one of two events where members can complete the four volunteer hours required to be eligible for year-end awards. One member embracing both roles this weekend is Leah Cole.

After competing Saturday with her off-the-track Thoroughbred, Monstrodamous, in multiple divisions, Cole will return Sunday, this time not as a rider, but as a volunteer scribe.

"Scribing is one of my favorite activities to do for volunteering," Cole said. “ I even made sure to sign up to volunteer early to get my favorite spot.”

Cole is passionate not only about competing but also about supporting the show and volunteers, who make the sport possible.

"These shows don't happen without volunteers," she said. "If riders, owners, trainers—whoever—don't step up, we won't be able to have these shows."

In addition to competing individually, Cole also represented MSEDA in Saturday's Team Competition brought to you by Blue Grass Equine Laundry alongside Erin Murphy, Kelly Rover, and Robyn Munson. The team awards are sponsored by Blue Grass Equine Laundry. TEAM MSEDA finished 5th in the ranks. Below are the the official results of the team competition
