Looks like that crystal ball needs some repairs after all. 2013 is already turning out to be a sizzler, and it’s only January 25th. Here are a few items I’ve been storing in my inbox to share with you this week: 1. The FEI has yanked Guadalajara’s 2015 World Cup Final hosting gig: in an […]
Just a quick note to let you know that tomorrow night (via a lovely red eye through Toronto) I’m off to the palm trees and law suits for my annual January pilgrimage. WDM Palm Beach looms large on my horizon, and you can expect some unfiltered coverage of that event, now that I have shed […]
I failed to arise at 3 am Pacific Slacker Time on Tuesday to watch the riveting press conference announcing the already-announced killer deal between the FEI and Longines, but a friend in a kinder time zone filled me in on the pertinent details, which were few but fascinating. The first irony of this New Deal […]
Given that I blogged about this very topic yesterday, I thought I ought to share with you this morning’s FEI press release declaring Canada the only country still in the running to become the FEI’s next top model (host of WEG 2018). I also wanted to direct your attention to a post on the Facebook page […]
My crystal ball repairman If you are wondering why it’s taking me so long to get my 2013 predictions up here, it’s because I just got my crystal ball back from the repair shop. I was getting nothing from it when I sat down and gazed at its opaque surface last week, so I assumed […]
Good Monday morning! This week’s surprise post comes all the way from Merrie Olde Englande, where the intrepid Pippa Cuckson has weighed in on the FEI’s latest WTF move, the signing on of Longines and the unceremonious dumping of Rolex. (Pippa and I share this characteristic: we both gravitate toward controversy like moths to a […]
Well hello there Raging Roll Kür Grannies, and welcome! I must commend you for one thing: signing your vitriol with your names. I have to say I was a bit surprised to have provoked so much hissing and spitting over the ‘top ten list’ item that I added as an afterthought because I was struggling […]
Do you know what people in Welly World give each other for Christmas? Lawsuits! Just look at the latest round of stocking stuffers revealed in the local rag, aka The Palm Beach Post. Let’s see what was hidden under the holiday palm tree over the past couple of weeks…here’s a brightly wrapped little package that […]
Happy 2013 everyone! Apart from a handful of toddlers with longevity in their DNA and a very few centenarians, we are all experiencing the only year of our lifetimes that is a ’13’. Just remember, though. Superstitious people have bad luck. Before 2012 fades too far into our rear view mirrors, I thought I’d better […]
Before I share with you the remainder of my interview I would like to take the opportunity to thank Michael Stone for leaving a comment yesterday. It seems not many people are prepared put a name to an opinion on this matter, though the activity on HorseShowDiva would suggest there is no shortage of opinions, […]
