Update and photo dump!
***
Since USDF Finals we have:
GONE SOUTH
 |
| Probably my favorite part of Jumping Branch Farm are the woods. |
Trip to Aiken (of course!). Some of the other barn girls joined this time and it made for a really fun group of eventers and the Token DQ - yours truly. haha. It rained on us pretty much the whole time but honestly it did not stop us from having fun. Also, these GORGEOUS photos were taken by a friend's husband. These are absolute treasures.
 |
| Too many to post here but they are ALL stunning. |
 |
The whole group. I did not get permission to post them on my blog but that's the risk you take. |
THEN SOUTH AGAIN
On somewhat of a whim, the BFF and I took a short trip to Wellington to watch the Dressage Masterclass. I had never been to Welly World before and was super curious. Plus, the weather was enticing.
 |
| We spotted some cute little birds. BUT NO GATORS. Grr. |
 |
| Went to Wellington International (Home of WEF) and watched some hunters and jumpers. What an absolutely mind-blowing show grounds. |
 |
| Saw some legends teach at Global (right across the street from WEF Grounds). Very nice experience and learned a lot. |
 |
| Shopping. It's literally everywhere. |
 |
| Little beach pit stop! |
 |
| The money in Wellington is on a new level. I think this is a Rolls Royce. |
STAYED NORTH AND FROZE
And that brings us to our current situation in which about 7-8 inches of snow hit us along with rude temperatures so barn chores have turned into fighting for my life. I have gotten some good snow rides in on Hampton, and I also now use him to go check waterers so I don't get my car stuck.
 |
| Daily outfit. |
 |
| Hampton loves the snow and has been VERY FRESH |
 |
| Literally the happiest in cold weather. |
So while it's survival mode here currently, there are warmer days ahead. Right? RIGHT?!?!
