This is NOT me cheering for the Eagles this weekend (or maybe it is, honestly, I’m all for a Kansas City/Philadelphia Super Bowl for all sorts of reasons), but this is me sharing two of the funniest dudes in eventing and their ongoing love of not taking life all that seriously (sometimes). Anyone who knows Mr. Jon Holling knows he’s a diehard, leave ’em in the dust Packers fan (bless him)…so you can imagine the physical and emotional toll that has taken hold after a lost bet forced him to don the Eagles green this week at Rocking Horse. Meanwhile Buck, who keeps an Eagles jump in his field, is riding high after another big win. Better luck next time, Jon. We hope you’re doing okay.
