I don’t know too much about Shia LaBeouf except that he’s in some movies and seems like a pretty intense guy, especially when it comes to making your dreams come true. I admire a person who really goes all in, and Shia was recently in the news for getting his entire chest permanently tattooed with the word “CREEPER” for an upcoming role. That’s commitment. Seems like somebody Jon Holling would really get along with.
Commitment is a must when you leave the cross country startbox so Shia is guiding this week’s Celebrity Course Walk, following in the footsteps of Leslie Knope a lá Parks & Rec who led us around Bicton Arena and of joy-sparkin’ painter Bob Ross who took us on a happy stroll around Barbury. If you have a request for a future celebrity course walk, do submit yours to DJ Chinch at our 24-hour all-request hotline.
Many thanks to Holly Covey for these photos from the new course at Fair Hill! In the CCI3*-S Phillip Dutton and one Fernhill horse lead the division after dressage on a penalty score of 21.9, with also-Phillip and another Fernhill horse hot on their heels. Phillip has two more rides in the division: some horse named Tsetserleg, currently 7th, and the OTTB Sea of Clouds in 13th. Lots of fun combos to keep an eye on.
Who’s ready to go a little bit aggro on Fair Hill cross country?!?!!!!
Alright! Here we go!
