What an adorable little pony. I particularly like the part where he jumps through the fence. Short and sweet – just like the pony!

I have always known what fox hunting was all about, but never really saw it in action. A friend shared this video with me. ENJOY THE RIDE!

This video was shared on facebook. I had to put it here as well. It’s beautifully done!

Eventing, Horses, Radio

As I’ve sat here all winter consumed by my own mothers recovery from cancer and a broken collarbone, I wonder how the cycle has turned so quickly.

• Perhaps it was the care I was required to give my mother all fall and winter
• Perhaps it was the Varsity Volleyball my eventer daughter plays all Fall and then the club volleyball she starts up in conjunction with the start of her eventing training
• Perhaps it was the fact that I took on a redesigned volleyball uniform for the club which has taken all kinds of time.

I’m really not sure what it was, but the training season has come upon me and I feel myself catching the bug again! That bug that makes me want to see the show schedule. The bug that makes me want to see how and what our eventing friends are doing. The bug that makes me want to try this sport – even though I just turned 49.

What are you doing this time of year?

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)
