Happy summer solstice–today is officially the first day of summer and the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere. Some of the US riders at Luhmuhlen were remarking about how strange it was that in Germany the Sun went down at 11 and rose at 4am, and I noticed a similarly shortened night up at Bromont.
I am glad to report that Arthur seems to be fine after his x-rays and ultrasound to evaluate the portion of his leg that swelled up so much after XC and caused him to withdraw before the Sunday jog. The US horses will be flying home soon after a weekend of mixed results.
Something I didn’t get around to over the weekend is to mention that Eventing Nation’s group picks for the Canadian WEG team are Hawley Bennett-Awad and Ginny, Kyle Carter and Parker, Rebecca Howard and Riddle Master, Selena O’Hanlon and Colombo, Jessica Phoenix and Exponential, and Steph Bosch and Port Authority.
As it is every Monday, it’s your turn to share with Eventing Nation your thoughts, excitements, and frustrations from the past weekend of eventing. Special points today for stories about dads.
How did your eventing go this weekend?
