Once upon a time 6 “mature” ladies went to a schooling horse trial and had a fabulous time with their horses and each other. Placing didn’t matter (but everyone did really well) because they jumped all the things, played in the sandbox and had a great time doing it! Thank you to Daina Kaugars and the Redefined crew for a fun day!
The End.

Sounds like it could be a disaster

When last the Summer Olympic games were held at Santa Anita in 1984, the cross country portion of eventing was held off-site; that won't be the case in 2028.

"Alec [Lochore] certainly has a challenge on his hands as he now has to deliver on his feasibility study, probably on the most difficult site ever for an Olympic cross-country course."

Yesterday marks the 13th anniversary of the day 11 yr. old Avery Dudasch left this world because she was needed to do good in the next one but the legacy she left and the lesson she taught us are still with us and it’s to Live Life Fearlessly.
