I received my regular email update from the USEF today (on behalf of my daughter). And today it was promoting advertisement “spots” in their magazine equestrian. The creative person who designed this call for advertisements was very clever. I may not have a stallion to advertise, but this perked my interest just the same.
My daughter shared this video with me. It’s Peter Atkins entire cross country run from the World Equestrian Games … from the camera attached to his helmet. What a great way to see the riders point of view!
It’s so hard to put the experience of attending the World Equestrian Games with my daughter the eventer. So I thought I’d share the nearly 1000 photos Emily took instead.
I think you’ll agree … WOW!
So ENJOY Dressage (day 2), Cross Country, and Stadium Jumping as well as a cross country course walk with Bruce Davidson.
(These are all available from the photos page as well)
After 2 days of dressage (phase 1 of the 3-day eventing) at the world equestrian games, you would have thought Emily and I would have had enough. But we were fortunate enough to receive a pair of tickets to the sold out freestyle dressage finals.
I have never seen anything like this in my entire life! These horses and riders were unbelievable. Although this pair didn’t win the gold, they were by far the most memorable dressage pair I’ve ever seen. I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed watching them on September 30, 2010!
As I travel home I’ll be adding photos and write up about my experience here in Kentucky at the Eventing World Equestrian Games. Let me just say WOW!
MORE while I travel!
