Wentworth Hunter Pace - June 6, 2021

After Margaret and I had such a fun time at the fall hunter pace, we opted to go again this spring! This time, while I rode Rejoice again, Margaret rode her horse Jester and had a friend ride Ladyhawke. All Kennebec Morgans!! Jester and Rejoice have the same dam and Jester and Lady share the same sire. Unfortunately instead of a lovely late spring day, we had one of the first intensely hot and humid days of the year. It was definitely a bummer, but the ride was mostly in the shade of the woods and we had a great time!  most of the fences were 3' coops but we found a small log and this hay to jump haha Until we didn't. 😑 We brought along a third friend who rode Margaret's older mare, Ladyhawke.

Interview about Standardbreds on HITM

Jessica Schroeder from the US Trotting Association, the same Jessica who supported us all at WEG, was interviewed yesterday on the Horses in the Morning Radio Show.  Now, I admittedly do not usually listen to any of these new horse-themed shows, and quite frankly they are waaaaay too boring chatty chatty for me.  ;-D
