The Conclusive Social Media Compilation

The long weekend of competition is over, and ironically while I have searched high and low for all pictures and updates available on the internet, there will be ten times more tomorrow when everybody returns from Canada. Competing in Canada = not updating your Facebook or being able to post pictures because you have no service whatsoever. Maybe I should have a post-foreign-event social media roundup?

Also, to whoever’s butt that is, I salute you, brave soldier. A phone in one pocket, and an EN cup (of?) in the other. You are a true Eventer!

Both Jaguar and Land Rover had a grand old time this weekend, and were excellent sponsors of our favorite Canadian competition. Yes, I would like to experience that kind of horsepower, but unfortunately my real horse eats my gas money….

The weather literally could not have been more awesome this weekend at Bromont, just look at this picturesque scene, captured and shared by the fine folks who run the competition.

Yeah! Jessica Phoenix you are a star! Good thing Clayton Fredericks is the Eventing coach and not the head of the english department. I, however, belong to a secret society called the “grammar police” and feel the need to point out that even on Twitter, one must use correct contractions.

One of my favorite pairs, Lisa Barry and F.I.S. Prince Charming, finished in 2nd place this weekend in the CCI3*. Peanut is a blast to watch over jumps, and Lisa is over the moon with his performance! lisa barry *

Time hop to….Germany?? Yep, Boyd has arrived with Shamwari and Otis Barbotiere, ready for Luhmuehlen next week! 10419488_757502733168_3663697139461467948_n *

Aoife Clark had a phenomenal finish at Bramham today, cleaning up with Fenyas Elegance, who also won Blenheim CCI3* last year. This is the first time that an Irish rider has won this competition, and what a pair to do so!

While Will Coleman wasn’t riding anything this year at Bromont, he still made the trip up to the great white north for student Annie Goeke, who was riding in her first CCI*. She finished 5th with Master P, on the merit of two clean jumping rounds! 10334294_773426546020948_5738893734579233612_n *

Let us not forget the Phillip is also over in Germany, getting ready to ride Mighty Nice in Luhmuehlen next week. Here’s a cute picture of those Pennsylvania eventing ponies in their swift German van!

Extra points to somebody who can come up with a really clever name for a gathering of riders. What should we call ourselves??

And finally, for those of you who were worried that Leslie wasn’t having enough fun at Bromont, never fear, she capped off her weekend by driving a red hot Jaguar convertible waaaay too fast on country roads!
