It must be common knowledge that event riders don’t do just pure dressage or show-jumping because they love the thrill and excitement of galloping at speed across country over solid obstacles. So it shouldn’t have come as any great surprise when one of the US’s top younger riders, Jennie Brannigan, wheeled this out of her trailer at Red Hills along with her CIC*** and CIC** campaigners. I had to find out more….!
Many thanks to Jennie for stopping to chat, and wishing her the best of luck on Indie and Cambalda this weekend. Get you motor running, head out on the highway and Go Eventing!
PS Apologies for the absence of a Red Hills Thursday Report – I helped put rugs on horses before I left for the night and of course, left my camera outside one of the stable doors – genius! However, I would like to take this opportunity to give a special shout-out to all the grooms, riders and helpers who were still in the barns well after the sun had gone down, and the bang-bang shrimp had all gone. Some were still unpacking, some were braiding, some were just generally making their horses comfortable for the night, and most of them will be back in the barns well before the sun rises tomorrow morning. I don’t know anyone who works harder, longer and with such love for their horses – EN thanks you and salutes you!
