I just love seeing everyone’s posts after a weekend of eventing — whether or not your weekend went according to plan, how lucky are we to enjoy this sport every day? I caught this moment on the Carolina live stream that was impossible not to share:
That’s what it’s all about, isn’t it? Easier said than done after you get dumped in the water jump, get eliminated in dressage, or get a flat tire on the way home from the show but hey, they don’t say “insanity in the middle” without reason, right?
This week’s Unofficial Low Score Award was earned by Devin Robel and Gillou, who won their Training Rider division at Majestic Oaks on a 19.7. Devin also competes in pure dressage, and those skills paid off in a big way this weekend — well done!
Showing off our hats! Thanks #brimsical for our prize, a super cute (and practical!) custom sun shade hat. And thanks, Gillou, for winning it for me!
