I was sad our Canadian riders had a bit of a tough weekend (was obviously cheering for Lisa Marie Fergusson and her half welsh cob, as well as a couple of the ladies we've had clinics with - all such good people!) but overall was pretty impressed with the riding this year!

Not to win or anything, but I'd hoped they just didn't finish last - and they didn't! I believe they were 27 out of 32 finishers. What a great run for their first 4 star! I was rooting for Ollie, though I love Roxy, and I was hoping Donner or Z would manage a podium finish. LOVED that Vermiculus was top 5! He's such a cute little pocket rocket. (ps I LOVE pocket rockets lol) <br /><br />I can't WAIT to read about your tack haul! And I have those PS of Sweden boots but in gold. I love them! The shops were just amazing - so many things over there that it was overwhelming for me at first. I hope you got Charlie SO MANY THINGS.

(tho, uh, yea we still tailgated pretttttty hard anyway on saturday.....). <br /><br />re: the sponsor change, i had only been to one rolex in the past so i'm maybe not the best observer on what differences can truly be attributed to the new headline sponsor. the biggest difference i noted tho was in the portapots. i watched them get cleaned every day, had multiple opportunities to use a freshly cleaned one, never went into one that had no TP, and felt like i spent way less time overall waiting in lines, bc they were everywhere. to me, that's kinda a huge difference maker on the overall experience haha (esp if you're drinking!). so on that alone, it felt like a positive change.emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-88657725960880011832018-05-01T08:06:08.103-07:002018-05-01T08:06:08.103-07:00Who drank the fish bowl pink drink?
