I had a blast with Hub, the dogs, Lauren and Stacy. The rain held off for the most part and it ended up being a really nice weekend full of shopping and beautiful horses. There were some falls, we were right there at the ropes for Dorothy's, but all horses and riders are alive and OK. Bummer for Ollie, though, falling and missing his grand slam 0pportunity and now his ride at Badminton due to his medical suspension. It's crazy how it can crumble in your fingers so quickly. It was a good reminder for me to give my dreams up to the One who has my days numbered and not worry about my future.
I'm watching the Universal Sports coverage now. More thoughts about horses and riders later...
