I arrived early yesterday afternoon to catch the tail end of the jog. Being a life long horsewoman, yet a newbie to Rolex......I couldn't wait to watch the pomp & circumstance surrounding this portion of the sport. On the technical side, the horse inspection is such a critical portion of this event.....but being a girl, I'm really there to see all these beautiful animals slicked up & looking so magnificent. It's also so much fun to see the competitors strutting their stuff!!
Lusty being a typical red-headed woman, was just a wee bit tuned up to show off her svelt self. I watched her entire jog through the eye of the camera.....so did not take note of any funny steps or signs of stiffness. If anything she was just tossing her head a bit due to the excitement. Much to my surprise, they held her to be represented & then announced that they were going to take a break! This rookie immediately went into anxiety mode! What in the world could they have seen?! After a painful pause in the action, Boyd brought her back up to represent & down the tarmac they trotted. "Rock on Rose............Accepted." Whew!!
I was also able to watch part of Buck's jog with Titanium. What a striking horse & I was suprised to find out that he's all TB with all that presence & bone. Definitely a pair to watch for the future!
I'm jetting off to catch Boyd's dressage on Neville, but will be reporting in later from the event. For a full list of the event timetable & live results, go to http://www.rk3de.org/timetable_dres.php
Signing off for now! LT
