There’s a lot to admire about Laine: like every eventer she’s hard-working of course, she produces all her eventers herself, thoroughbreds that her mother selects off the track, some she keeps and some have been sold, and Valerie has a pretty impressive track record, don’t worry, she’s on my list to talk to as well! Laine is positive and energetic, she’s a bona fide tough mudder, and now she’s adding media star to her repertoire with her debut for PRO at The Fork, interviewing the top 3 – she’s a natural and did a fantastic job. Once she’d finished, I flipped the tables, and asked her about her day.
Wishing Laine and Anthony Patch, and all the OTTB and Thoroughbreds competing this weekend a great go of it. If you’re into twitter, please make sure and follow Joanie Morris at USEquestrianHP for great information, like this tidbit on thursday’s dressage at the Fork,
Many thanks to Laine for her time, and to Joanie for as always organising everything with such good grace and humour that she makes it seem effortless, I strive for that but usually achieve the opposite! Plenty more to come from The Fork, I have yet to investigate the Shooting with The Stars Phenomenon – 23 teams, advanced riders teaming up with armed sportsmen to win prizes, hmm, sounds like The Hunger Games waiting to happen, but in all seriousness there’s a lot of money at stake, not to mention reputation so I’ll see what I can find out! Thanks for sticking with Eventing Nation, and Go Eventing!
