Rejoice! Rolex is just days away and is the star of Video Saturday for the second week in a row. Those of you lucky enough to attend the event will get a much better view than this. Embrace it! Fans at home can at least stream the event live on their computers. Now might be the time to upgrade to a faster internet connection.
Rolex Runs on Volunteers: One of the perks of being a volunteer is getting dibs on the best seats in the house! This is a great video diary of one volunteer’s Rolex experience. They also have an interesting blog. Thanks volunteers! We wouldn’t have Rolex without you!
Phillip’s Entourage: We don’t often see footage like this immediately following a four-star dressage ride. Connaught looks proud of his effort, and Phillip is kind enough to sign autographs.
Horse Ballet…You Could Say That: Really it’s just the part we have to get through to get to the cross-country. Dressage isn’t all bad once you can accomplish more than a few circles and transitions and start to see the difference good flatwork makes in the jumping phases. Here are some of the top rides from Rolex 2008.
Built Rolex Tough: I always thought a three-day Eventer would make a better spokesperson for Ford than Nick Saban….Enjoy some more Rolex cross-country and these tough horses and riders.
Kibbles ‘n’ Bits: Buck’s horse refused at the Sunken Road after a dog with no owner attached nipped at it’s heels. Don’t be that guy. Keep your dog on a leash.
