For the first time in about 3 months, I can actually say that it is a quiet news day around eventing. About the biggest news so far today is that Sharon White will be going home from the hospital on Thursday.
Tiana has posted her Boekelo recap on her blog
Max Corcoran writes in her blog that the O’Connor Event Team is headed south to Florida for the winter this week. The O’Connors ride out of equally beautiful and excellent farms in Virginia and Ocala, and they are leading a growing trend to head south extremely early. For financial reasons, most eventers wait until after the new year to migrate south if they do so at all, but more and more programs are heading down earlier each year. It’s October 20th and we are already talking about Ocala, wow!
Now, as promised, the videos…
As part of Eventing Nation’s ongoing efforts to help our readers get through the work day with as little actual work getting done as possible, check out this 45 minute Blair Castle recap video from Horse and Country TV. I would embed the video but it has a very annoying “play on load” feature so anyone loading EN would immediately see and hear the video playing, which is especially bad if your boss happens to be walking by. The video is also posted on the USEA and COTH Forums, I believe. Spoiler alert: William won Blair Castle, which was held in August.
