If Harveywetdog did Wikipedia

In April 2020 and in the interest of legacy I wrote a Wikipedia entry recording the thoughts and notable works of Harveywetdog. I admit I was ignorant of the rules concerning self promotion on Wikipedia and consequently my entry was correctly deleted and my account expunged from the system. As a result my original words and links were sadly lost but nevertheless here is a rewrite. Perhaps when I'm gone someone will be able to enter it onto Wikipedia as a fitting epitaph for my time on the Harveywetdog Project.  

Grand Slam of Eventing
 Organizers Seek New Series Title Sponsor


 The Grand Slam of Eventing Series began in 1999 and rewards athletes for the pinnacle of success internationally across three legendary five-star events, the Defender Kentucky Three Day Event, Mars Badminton Horse Trials and Defender Burghley Horse Trials. For the first time in 23 years, the title sponsorship of this iconic series has become available.

This prestigious award is presented to a rider who has won all three Grand Slam events consecutively (not necessarily in the same year). This $350,000 prize was won by Pippa Funnell in 2003 and by the only three-time Olympic Individual Gold Medalist in eventing, Michael Jung in 2016.


The Organizers would like to thank Rolex for their decades long support of this important series.

The Organizers of the Grand Slam events are seeking a new title partner and encourage interested parties to contact them.
