It was the only cloudy day we've had here at the Virginia Horse Trials. But that's was a good thing! Emily rode cross country today at 9:30 and the cloud cover kept it cooler for both horse and rider.
As Emily prepared herself and Bully for Billy for the final ride of horse trials, Susan and I (Debbie) packed up everything else in preparation for our long haul back to Maine. We had everything ready to go so when Emily finished up, we could get on the rode ... and hopefully get home before midnight!
Emily's ride was scheduled for 9:36 but she and Billy were ready early and they let them run ... and run they did. Emily was pumped for this course and had walked it 2 times (and I'm sure many more in her head). And right from the start box, it was clear they were a team! The result: double clear on cross country! Way to go Emily!
Within an hour of cooling off Billy, we had the dogs in the car, the trunks packed, and the horses loaded for the long journey home. We said farewell to our friends and headed north ...
Until the next show - HAVE A GREAT RIDE!
