Surprise! A helicopter decided to drop in at Fitch's Corner Horse Trials yesterday. Prelim competitor Kristen Bond aboard Born Ready were granted a moment to reorganize by the judge. Photo from Danielle Beaver
As if I needed more things to obsess about and worry over when it came to Dressage day. Dressage has never been my strong suit, nor have I ever found it particularly gratifying. It is a means to an end and my tests always come with a punch-line at the halt. The classic “I made time, right?!” and more recently “That second circle was supposed to be interpretive prance, not trot, right?” should give you an idea about how they tend to go. Seriously though, I would lose my head if a helicopter landed during my test.
