Yes just when you thought insanity rules…there is Brian O’Connor! With his usual flair for the dramatic (and for outrageous humor), including a cameo by Jenny Brannigan, Brian show us how eventing in Area 2 finished up at Rubicon Farm Horse Trials. Great weather, fun weekend, no wet sand in dressage to deal with. As Brian put it, in a little east coast/west coast rivalry:
“We had a Pan Am gold medalist…they had a Pan Am gold medalist (they being of course Galway)…we had Boyd Martin…they had Michael Pollard…we had two Olympic bronze medalists…they had (how many?)…we had colorful leaves on the trees…they had California hillsides…we had a gold medalist course designer…they had a mad Scotsman (medalist from the Worlds, yes…but still a madman!)…we had heavy frost and cold Virginia mornings….they had California chardonnay and spring rolls at the concession stand….all in fun guys, and remember to smile…..see ya!!”
Go eventing.
