I think taking on a four star ride from a top level rider must be one of the hardest things to do in eventing, so I was interested to see Rock on Rose go this afternoon when I saw her name in the programme in the intermediate division. When I spoke to Bruce Davidson about a month ago, he’d mentioned how well Lusty was doing, but hadn’t gone into any further detail. Happily, it seems Lusty has certainly landed on her feet with a new owner, Whitney, who couldn’t possibly love her any more. They posted a lovely clear around the intermediate track this afternoon here at Rebecca Farm to add just six time penalties to their dressage score, and Whitney kindly talked to me after her ride.
Many thanks to Whitney, and wishing her and Lusty a long and happy future together; also the same to Whitney and her fiancee as long as he doesn’t mind playing second fiddle to a redhead! Thanks for reading, go feisty mares and go eventing!
