Rolex Kentucky CCI**** Three Day Event

Walking the majority of the cross country jumping course at Rolex, scoping out the jumps, lay of the land, best photo opportunites, etc. Managed to sunburn my arms pretty good, thankfully everything else was well covered. Plus plenty of other walking around the complex, to and from parking, etc.

Getting here was an interesting adventure, leaving PA at 9:30 and driving overnight. From scary WV gas station bathrooms, to a coyote (I think) dashing across the road in front of the car, to seeing the beady glowing eyes of hundreds of roadside deer, to sleeping in the rest stop when we arrived in Lexington at 5:30 AM, and naming our rented PT Cruiser "Vanilla" aka "Lil Nelly". Sometimes it is good to get away and go on a different road trip for once!

Lesson on William. Lots of two point, no stirrup work, etc. Excellent canter work :-) Then canter circles over poles, which was not as great.
