Redefining Redefining "busy." Photo from Tamie Smith's Facebook page

One of the expressions that used to make me laugh as a kid is “busier than a one-legged man at an ass-kicking contest.” I’d have to say Team Next Level Eventing is giving that one-legged man a run for his money when it comes to being busy. I’m exhausted just thinking about the logistics of making all of those rides happen.

I mean, they’re at Galway Downs — when will Tamie Smith and Heather Morris have time to go to the FOOD TRUCKS?! I know that even managing two horses at a show dramatically increases my caffeine intake. With that many, I’d probably drink enough coffee and soda to stop my heart.
