After an early morning and a long day at work, I packed up and got on the road to Poplar Place Farm in Hamilton, GA for the February HT last weekend. One of the great traits about Eventers is they always make the most of a weekend with their horses and friends despite the conditions or outcome of a competition. I had a great time catching up with friends, cheering on my favorite horses, dusting off the old camera and making use of my new one.
Alex Livengood, competing in Open Intermediate with her grey gelding, Past Due, definitely had the most stylin’ warm-weather gear. (left)
Flash and Zeus take Doreen for a walk. They remembered to dress in layers, and they color-coordinated too! (below)
Jet is warm enough inside, thank you very much. (left)
My mom stopped by with our dog, Joey, who is very camera shy. Her big red coat is the same one she wore on her trip to Antarctica. She still wimped out and went home early. (right)
Play Locate Leslie at Pine Top in Thomson, GA this Valentine’s Day weekend! Walk up to as many people as you can and say “Visiting Eventing Nation improves my dressage scores.” If you find me I’ll answer, “One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish” and you’ll be an automatic Fan of the Day!
