I can’t believe that this weekend is the Game of Thrones season finale Bromont. Did you hear about the Red Wedding yesterday’s dressage? Carnage! Some really nice tests. What’s going to happen next? Winter is coming, I mean, that cross-country course sure looks tough. Guess we’ll have to stay tuned to HBO EN to find out.
