This weekend a group of us from the barn went to watch the Grand Prix up at the SIHS.
Its a yearly event that I love to attend. Big name riders/trainers means some great riding ... awesome atmosphere ... shopping... and this year they had food trucks!
I went up early - hubby had the girls... i wandered around, watched the rings that had stuff going on in them and was reminded how much i love multi day shows and how I need to try and get to one or two next year.
The rest of the barn people showed up around 4 - GP was scheduled to start at 7. We ate, shopped, watched horses go and then snagged a couple rows of seats and took turns saving them. That place fills up super super super fast. Side note: it's crazy how people come late and expect you to accommodate them when you have been sitting for hours saving the seats!!! Um no...
Such a fun night, Rich Fellers and Flexible put on a heck of a show. 28 great riders!!
Love Flexible!!!! How cool, that sounds like it must have been a really fun show.
ReplyDeleteIt's crazy that he is 20 and still showing at that level!! It was a great show to go watch :)
DeleteSounds like a great time! Did you see Kaley Cuoco ride?
ReplyDeleteShe was there watching Karl but wasn't showing Saturday.. I believe she showed earlier in the week tho!
DeleteSounds like a cool show. I didn't even know that was happening this weekend.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoyed GP shows. I need to travel to get to them now, but I honestly think its worth it. SO fun
