Lindsey and I had a very fun day at the World Equestrian Games in Lexington on Sat. Just wanted to share some photos...
The greeter at our very nice hotel - compliments of Sara & Matt.
and the complimentary Bourbon Balls. mmmmmm

The view as we entered the park

There were people there from all over the world speaking different languages, but it's obvious who this fan was cheering for. The picture on the right is Lindsey's reaction to the "Restricted Area" sign and ropes keeping us a distance from the vet-check area. She SO wanted to get down there to see what they were doing.
At the first water complex on the cross-country course (I think this was obstacle #5), the horse & rider have to first jump over this log into the water...
then jump this big fish in the water...
then this big, um, duck - I forget what it's called - after coming out of the water.
I just like this picture - after jumping an obstacle, they always kick it into high gear in order to try and make the ideal course time and not incur time penalties.
Thanks for looking - hope I didn't get carried away with the pictures.
Thanks also for the continued cards, thoughts, and prayers.
Love, Susan
