This weekend, I’m becoming a girl for a whole night and doing an incredibly not-horsey thing: going to my college roommate’s black tie wedding! All I ever do is have my hair in a messy bun or stacked inside my helmet, and all I ever wear is a variety of riding pants with shirts that are sweat proof and a sports bra. This weekend I’m treating myself to the full girl situation: hair did, nails did, fancy dress, and I even made an effort to tan my ghostly legs. I might even pass for a “normal” girl!

Tattersalls is streaming live world-wide starting today. Tattersalls is holding a CCI3* and CIC3* this weekend, and the entire thing is being streamed live from start to finish. Buck Davidson will be contesting the CCI3* while Caroline Martin, Katherine Coleman and Rebecca Howard are all entered in the CIC3*. Brianne Stanley is also in the CIC1* YH. The streaming does require a one time log-in process. [CCI3* Leaderboard] [CIC3* Leaderboard] [Live Streaming Schedule]
There is almost nothing better than an awesome view from the back of your horse. We are not alone in our desire for “between the ears” photos, as the British have taken up the idea as well. Horse and Hound discusses the best places for hacking and soaking in views in England, and shows us the pictures! [Best Hacking in England]
Could American Pharoah win the Triple Crown, misspelled name and all? Despite the fact that somebody bungled the Jockey Club naming process for this colt, he’s looking surprisingly good coming off the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness. He had his first work this week, running an easy 1/2 mile in 48 seconds. Trainer Bob Baffert thinks he’s looking fine, and the colt with ship out on Tuesday if all goes well.

Oh, the things horses can get themselves into….Intrepid four-year-old gelding Archie thought that perhaps he wanted to jump out of the horse section of the horse box, and into the storage section. Little did Archie know that this was a terrible plan, and he would become stuck halfway between both sides. The fire brigade had to be called to cut Archie loose! [Gelding Gets Stuck in Horsebox]
This is incredibly cool, to watch the speed of the horse and the heartbeat of the rider along with the helmet cam!
