I've been totally remiss in my duties this winter and spring. Updating the blog has been seriously neglected!
Today Rolex 2014 wrapped up. William Fox-Pitt won again. Well done him, but I am still disappointed. Allison Springer was in first after the dressage and then she running a beautiful cross country course only to have a blow by at a steeply angled brush fence near the end of the course. It was heart breaking! I feel like Allison works hard and she is very often the bridesmaid, but never the bride. Plus, she lost to colic that really lovely, really expensive, horse she bought last year from non other than William Fox-Pitt. Can't she catch a break?
Arthur reminds me a little of Elliot. All the talent, but perhaps not always 100% trustworthy. This probably sounds self aggrandizing at best and maybe a little delusional. Everyone thinks their horse is going to Rolex, and at the moment Elliot and I have been struggling around intermediate. Still, I think he is a very talented beast. So we've hit a rocky spot, I'm holding on to the dream of riding him at Rolex. Even if it takes longer than expected!
