I’m on the road to Lexington, Kentucky and took a brief break from driving to eat at my favorite fast food restaurant, which we all know is Steak ‘N Shake. Other than Steak ‘N Shake and the fact that Sharon White rides here, there’s not much I like about West Virginia. It’s most abundant natural resource is probably fat people or coal, the later of which is harvested by destroying the environments and local communities.
I’ll be writing and producing ridiculous videos from the Young Riders cross country tomorrow. David was the YR course and the word is that it looks great but pretty straightforward. David designed both of my Young Riders XC courses and those competitions turned into essentially combined tests, but we will see how it all works out tomorrow. The 2* XC begins just after 8am ET.

The Chincoteague pony swim and auction took place on wednesday. Anyone who knows about this should be excited and anyone who doesn’t should go buy a copy of Misty of Chincoteague. You will thank me.
In other news, the Zara Phillips Musto publicity blitz continued today. This is my favorite article so far. Amidst hilarious quotes like “in her smoky, basso profundo, sexy bronchitis voice” and “that unrighted snaggle tooth” the author presents a picture of Zara that makes her sound pretty down to Earth.
