“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.” – Albert Camus
The colors of the world during the Virginia Horse Trials this weekend were some of the most vibrant I’ve seen in a long time. It’s hard to talk about the venue without also mentioning its beauty in the same breath. But seriously, photos hardly do the place justice. If you haven’t been to Virginia Horse Trials yourself, put it on your bucket list.
Now, let’s play Who Jumped It Best? Check out these CIC2* competitors on cross country and decide which horse and rider present the best overall picture. Vote in the poll at the bottom of this post. Go eventing.
