Jeez Louise. Can’t a girl take a sick break without all hell breaking loose? There is so much to be opinionated about right now I hardly know where to start. What I really want to do is go on and on AND ON about how incredibly awesomely wonderful Cavalia is (they opened in Vancouver last […]
Since I know some of you are waiting for my reflections on the WDM freestyle from last Friday night, I thought I’d better give you all my letter from home before you start wondering where today’s post is. I brought a special souvenir home with me from Florida, something very small but nasty, either […]
Well he hasn’t won yet, but let’s be honest. There really isn’t a contest. (And I don’t want to hear any accusations about jinxing him by writing this. Superstitious people have bad luck) The real scrap tonight will be for second, third and fourth. All in all, considering this event was literally brought from zero […]
This is just a very quick post to give you all the heads’ up that USEF is providing a live webcast of both the Special and the Freestyles tomorrow. So if it’s been a while since you called in sick, tomorrow might be a great day to be bedridden with a lap top perched on […]
I can’t believe I am subjecting myself to a second dose of this crazy place, but I will admit that it’s awfully fun here. California has the geography, but a bit too much of it, which means that, except during shows, everyone is off doing their own thing in Thousand Oaks or San Diego or […]
Apologies to anyone whose Wednesday was darkened by the absence of a post – but I’ll make up for it next week as I return to Welly World for the World Dressage Masters, Challenge of the Americas and other less formal events which are sure to cross my path. In the meantime, please indulge me […]
Looks like the far west isn’t so apathetic after all. I haven’t had so many indignant comments since I questioned the moral fibre of gaited horse people at the WEG opening ceremonies. I have two questions for all you Boo EC people, who may or may not be direct descendants of Albertans: 1. where were […]
Today’s post comes in the form of a warning: according to my research, Horse Council BC is making a desperate bid to turn itself into the seventh ‘hell no’ province. And they are doing it without communicating a single word of it to their member. As a BC resident and longtime HCBC and EC member, […]
Here I am, enjoying a wintery sunset view from my desk in Vancouver. Florida seems so far away already, though as usual the marks it leaves on my memory are indelible. And it seems I can’t get enough of Welly World. I’ve been home only 48 hours but I’ve already booked my flight for a […]
Hi all. Sorry for the lack of entertainment on Wednesday, but the intense schedule – work and social – got the better of me this week. Some people like to see me at 7:15 am, while it’s cool and quiet at the barn. And then it’s off to the rat races for the whole day. […]
