The best thing about this sport is that there's an opportunity to learn something new every day, with every horse, with every horse person you associate with.

It’s nice to see hard work pay off. All of the recent clinics and training sessions that our West Coast based riders have been tackling are really showing some impact in the scores at Galway this weekend. Seeing this is honestly inspirational for those of us still mentally on vacation, even though we swore we were going to hit it hard when the clocks rolled back. It’s a reminder that it’s possible for those of us that promised ourselves we’d be fit and ready to rock and roll at an event by mid-April. It’s a quiet, unspoken prodding to get up and back to work because inertia begets more inertia and nothing happens without effort. Time to dust off the big yellow watch, dig out my trot-set playlist and spend some time in two-point.
