It’s impossible to pick a job description for Cathy this weekend because she fulfilled so many different roles. I caught up with her in the ten minute box of the Long Format Three Day Event where she’d spent most of the day helping anyone who’d needed it, and graciously accepting thanks from riders she’d been training all week. Earlier in the morning she’d competed her own horse, and then she told me about a very exciting development she’s in charge of for Area VIII.
Thanks for extending your day even longer and staying to chat with us, Cathy, and I can’t wait for January. I happened to bump into her once more, standing on the hill watching the prelim, grazing her horse, a 4 year old OTTB that was to all intents and purposes loose at her feet like a puppy, and the sweetest, kindest, most laid back thing. If only I had a trailer I’d have gone home with two horses this afternoon! Many thanks to all the trainers this weekend who stood out in all conditions helping riders, many of them competing at their first three day event. Congratulations to all of you, and thank you for reading, always go eventing!
