The weeks turn into months and fly by. It is really hard to keep track of simple things like the day of the week unless a major show is on the horizon and then each day is weighed and measured to fit into the schedule. On an Olympic year there are all sorts of pre-requisites that […]
It’s still rattling along like an express train at O’Hanlon Eventing. I remember (nostalgic tone…) when there was ‘down time’ in the winter and your horse took a holiday and you sort of did the necessities only for about a month at least. The closest we come to that is November in which Selena has […]
It has been hectically quiet since the drives to Florida. Life in O’Hanlon Eventing North and South has been at full speed ahead. We run two barns thousands of kilometers apart for four months of the year. We don’t only split our horses, but we split our staff. Sounds like it should work out, but, of […]
We are less than three hours away from arriving at Ocala with the second and last group. We picked up Leif Z in North Carolina at 6:00 a.m. today, having finally made it to the border at 5:00 p.m. between the ice storm and the snow storm. We had a great drive down, hitting Washington […]
“The best laid plans o’ mice an’ men gang aft aglay” Rabbie Burns We tried to set out three times already today and finally the roads are clear enough for us to make a run for the border. We hear the roads are good south of us but snow is due tomorrow all the way […]
We left Florida eight hours after we got there. Yes, I believe it IS warm and sunny there. Georgia the Carolinas and Virginia went by in the dark. We hit Washington at 6:00 a.m. Later than perfect, but still early enough to get through in an hour. Right now Selena is driving through Pennsylvania and apart […]
Well North Carolina was dark and foggy, South Carolina and Georgia were just plain dark and finally we unloaded at our barn in Ocala by 9:00 a.m. Slept for a few hours and we are now out buying hay and feed before we turn around later this afternoon and start the trip back with the […]
Well the vet was there today and we are on our way two days late. We have already had a trick scare when it popped up a notice telling us to check engine. As it happens something just needed calibrated on the computer phew! We saw early morning sunshine in New York. Afternoon grey in […]
Another year has whizzed by, I can hardly believe it. It seems like only a minute ago that we were moving into Balsam Hall. Where on earth does time go? It goes too fast wherever it goes. After the Royal there were a LOT of clinics and lessons to be done. Everyone wanting to enjoy […]
