Saturday Links from Tipperary

Bad puns FTW!

 

Happy Saturday everyone! Lots of things going on this weekend, loads of events, lots of lovely hot weather (ugh) and tons of fun just waiting to be had! Big news in my neck of the woods: after 6 days of no power or water (aka Kate hauling buckets of water from the neighbor with a generator 4 times a day) we Virginians have finally gotten to shower. Thank goodness, because the lot of us were getting very smelly and quite short tempered with the 102 degree weather. Apologies to the 5% who still don’t have power, I feel your pain.

If you’ve still got the Barbury hangover (symptoms include a mild/not-so-mild obsession with US team members as well as any sort of opinion/outrage at team selections), you should definitely check out this week’s Eventing Radio Show. Samantha chats about the Australian, New Zealand, Irish and of course US team selections, as well as having a plethora of guests including Boyd, Will, Lucinda Fredericks, Jock Paget, and Mark Kyle. [Listen Here to the Eventing Radio Show]
