The car I'm borrowing can't make the trip, and I need the personal property loss money to cover expenses for a while. So I'll just live vicariously through you and the blog. Maybe we can meet up next year :)Christelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15109922922919704259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-8430191055476695612011-04-20T23:22:31.109-04:002011-04-20T23:22:31.109-04:00You should root for Arthur and Allison Springer!

Unfortunately all of my favourite horse/rider combos will not be there. Selena O'Hanlon and Stephanie Rhodes-Bosche will both be competing at Badminton this weekend along with Hawley and her mount, Gin N Juice. Henry Jota Hampton and Peter Atkins will also be missing from the scene, but for different reasons.<br />I'm one of the Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01197789181776030907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-42195738708487851012011-04-20T18:06:50.689-04:002011-04-20T18:06:50.689-04:00You know, every time I watch a bit of cross countr...You know, every time I watch a bit of cross country, I get a little "pang" of longing. Not that I'd EVER ride a course that size, but galloping a well designed cross country course with nice little jumps well within my skill level was always such fun!! <br /><br />That being said, Rolex level is downright intimidating...and positively amazing when one of those talented horse/rider Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10029423500476995817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-38918131411525659962011-04-20T17:17:38.509-04:002011-04-20T17:17:38.509-04:00I totally agree with you Elena!!

I am always amazed by these event horses, one eye or two!<br /><br />My horse would probably love this discipline, especially the galloping between fences.
