I know everybody was kinda bummed to get rained on yesterday during the jogs at Fair Hill, but bless anything and everything because we SERIOUSLY needed it. I don’t even remember the last time it rained, and I feel like I’ve had a layer of dust on me for years at this point. A whole day of cold rain in October never felt like such a dream.

News From Around the Globe:

A twenty-year-old Thoroughbred conquers racing on the flat, racing over fences, hunters, jumpers, and now sidesaddle. In a true example of the versatility of the breed, Epilogue took rider Ashleigh Glorioso to two championship titles at the Pennsylvania National Horse Show. Displaying elegance, superior manners, and a strong performance, Glorioso and Epilogue won both the Ladies Hunter Sidesaddle Over Fences class and the Sallie Jones Sexton Perpetual Trophy in the Ladies Hunter Sidesaddle Hack.

Thinking about a companion for your horse? Outside of getting a new horse (and we would never talk you out of that) you should seriously consider a donkey. I have a miniature donkey named Pepe and he is the cutest little ding dong of all time, and also gets along with almost anybody and doesn’t put up with any crap. [Are Donkeys The New Black?]
