A typical Saturday evening at a horse trials in Canada requires head to toe tactical gear
There is a tradition here at Bromont among the course builders, Bromoont staff, riders, and anyone else who wishes to be shot participate to go paintballing Saturday after the cross-country. This year’s paintball war was held in the woods behind the cross-country course and, while there’s no way I was going to try and win that coveted eventing blogger Pulitzer by getting shot, I am told that the war was truly epic, which has to rank tonight among the most significant military moments in Canada’s history. Seriously though, it was amazing seeing everyone dressed up in camo holding guns–there was even a paintball bazooka. The below photo shows course designer Derek De Grazia checking out the weapons in amazement.
The last thing standing between me and dinner is some very special news from EN’s good friend and guest blogger Holly Hudpseth in North Carolina. Hailey Hudspeth was born last night at 11:33pm. Holly tells me she was 6 lbs 10 oz, 20 inches long, and has brown hair with blue eyes. Along with the photo, Holly sent well wishes to all of the competitors at Bromont and around Eventing Nation.
That’s all for now. Coren will be around later with Sunday Links, where I am told she will list the first placed riders in every division in every competition accross Eventing Nation. Go eventing.
