Wishing a very happy birthday to Andrea Davidson, who celebrated her 30th birthday yesterday! Andrea took a trip from Team BDJ’s winter base in Ocala to their Pennsylvania base at Buckwampum Farm for a weekend

Rolex bound grooms are rocking the latest in stylish quarantine attire! I’m not sure the look will be the hottest thing in the barns, but it’s certainly functional. Then again, I may need to borrow

While everybody else is gnawing the inside of their mouth in anticipation of Rolex, I’m over here toodling around and enjoying the spring weather. I got to play Hunter/Jumper last weekend (more on that later)

I haven’t been to the Carolina Horse Park in 10 years. The last time was in 2005 when I competed my Thoroughbred Sam in the Junior Novice division at the AEC. So being at the
