There was a terrible accident here on Saturday

The Sunken Road

It will be incredible to watch this tomorrow!



We are at Rolex! The ulitimate in Eventing. Thursday and Friday were the Dressage tests, Saturday is Cross Country Jumping and Sunday the Stadium Jumping, and awards ceremony. The winner has the best over all scores of the three tests. We watched Dressage today (rather boring) and walked the cross country course...I can't imagine what tomorrow will be like...33 jumps, 3.5 miles. Minimum time of completion is 11 minutes with a max time of 22 minutes. These jumps are SOLID...only an earth quake will move them. Up to 4' tall and some with a spread of more that 6 '. The horses will be averaging 21 miles an hour!
