I got home from Germany Monday night, the week of our Surefire Horse Trials. I’m so lucky that Tom, Christy Stauffer, Caitlin Calder, Katie Hasse, Hellen LaFitte, Trav Schick and his wife, Kat, and brother, Graham, and Josh Sylce had a great jump on what needed to be done for the weekend. Our event went off great—we were so lucky to have the weather we had, plus we have the most amazing group of people that come and help us every year. It’s a huge chore and a huge team that makes everything work. Nanky Doubleday, Po Tatham, Mary Coldron, my parents Dick and Jo, Lisa Welch, Lisa’s step-mother Anne, Sarah and Michelle, all help so much it’s really impressive. I don’t know how Tom, myself and my parents got so fortunate to get all the amazing help we have. Everyone knows what they’re doing, everyone steps up. Thanks to Janet Galay for all the great photos!

I had a pretty crazy week following our horse trials. The Monday after, I got in the car at 4:30 in the morning to take JR up to cross-country school with Phillip at Windurra. I really felt like I needed to get my head around being competitive at Great Meadow, which was coming up quickly. Tuesday morning I headed to Sallie Spinard’s, my amazing dressage coach, for lessons. Wednesday, I caught a 5:00 AM flight to Colorado for a clinic and started teaching that morning. There’s no rest for the wicked and I got back Saturday afternoon just in time to do a little bit of last-minute prep for Great Meadow.
