G0od morning! I hope you all got a good night’s rest after staying up past bedtime to watch some cross country action from Adelaide. Jenni posted a cross country course preview yesterday, courtesy of CrossCountryApp.com. I must say the course looks fantastic even though I unfortunately was unable to view any streaming last night. Shane Rose came into cross country sitting comfortably in first place on a 39.70 with CP Qualified. Stuart Tinney and Pluto Mio lie in second on a 45.5, and Shane Rose also rounds out the top three aboard his 2012 Olympic mount, Taurus. Stay tuned for more updates from Down Under.

While not horse related, this story still deserves a nod on today’s links. Yesterday, Make-A-Wish Bay Area granted the wish of a five year old leukemia patient to be Batman for a day. With the help of several thousand volunteers and law enforcement officers, San Francisco was transformed into Gotham City and “BatKid” embarked on several missions to save the day. Check out some footage from the scene yesterday below.
