A celebration of Rodney Jenkins’ life June 1 will offer a chance to reminisce about the Red Rider and meet with friends to recall what made him so special. The gathering will be held from 3-5 p.m. at the Upperville, Va., horse show grounds in the 1853 Club on the jumper side.
Rodney, considered the greatest U.S. show jumping rider of all time by many, died last December at age 80. In addition to his achievements in the show ring, Rodney went on to become a successful trainer of thoroughbred racehorses.
