Boyd and Otis |
The overseas horses jogged first and I have to say there are some amazing
looking horses this year. Overall I think I would be happy to take every single horse home that is starting at
this event. All the horses looked fit and ready to do something amazing.
Erin Sylvester was the first out of our people to go. She and No Boundaries looked great!
Boyd jogged Remi first and had no trouble .

Otis went straight after Remi
and also looked great. Even tho we know our horses are sound it is always nerve
wracking for me ( and probably for a lot of people) at the jog. I think it is
because there is so much work that goes into preparing for such a event that it
would be just heart breaking if for some reason your horse would not be
excepted.

Anyway, I was so relieved when Boyd's horses both passed!
After that we
only had Kate and Belmont to go. Belmont is a very sound horse and they have
been looking great. I was taking pictures for Jamie, ( Kate's husband), when Kate
was jogging Belmont. My heart dropped when I hear over the loudspeaker that
Belmont was to be reinspected . Shit!!!! Kate looked like she was about to be sick
and so did all of us. Kate has been working so hard to get here and is looking so
good.

We were waiting and waiting and waiting till the end of the jog for her to jog
again. I was shaking as she was jogging and then we heard : Belmont is accepted !!!!!! Yeah!!!!!
Now the event can begin. Tomorrow is the first day of dressage and we have
Erin and No Boundaries first just after the lunch break at 1:24pm. Remi is second to last tomorrow at 3.44pm . On Friday Kate and Belmont are second to go in the morning, at 9:38, and Otis is the
last one of the day at 3:52! It should be exciting!! All of the horses are ready to do good tests.
