Despite the weather’s best effort to keep us all home bound this weekend, it’s still a good time to get out and have some fun. I’ve been grinding through a bit of the winter blues and even though it will be wet and cold, I know time with my pony will make me feel better. Something else that makes these grey days a little brighter are the reports that we are getting from various places about how MASSIVE the early season entry lists are. I took a quick glance at some of the early season events for the West Coast and found that there are 21 entries in the upcoming Intermediate at Galway Downs. Also, a little bird told us that Rocking Horse Winter I HT has 577 entered and a robust wait list!  We haven’t even finished January yet and we are seeing impressive entry numbers all over the place. Maybe these days aren’t so grey after all!

Saturday Video: I’m so used to our big open spaces for XC out west that I always love watching through-the-woods XC tracks.
