Good vibes are in the air at Barbury Horse Trials this weekend as British eventing returns after a long hiatus due to Covid-19. The event has been modified from its original format — no international divisions will run; only national Novice and Intermediate classes will take place — but riders will no doubt be over the moon just to be back in the game.
Especially over what looks to be a dream of a course to ride! Sapphire blue skies, cotton candy clouds, galloping for days … it looks like something out of a Bob Ross painting. Which got me to imagining, as the clock winds down on one more anxiety-ridden week in an interminably anxiety-ridden year, what a cross country course walk with Bob Ross might be like
Amazing, I bet. 3, 2, 1 … what blissed-out words of wisdom do you have for us, Coach Bob? Course photos courtesy of CrossCountryApp.
Ah, that was so nice. Thanks Bob.
