Things are in full swing at Fair Hill. More than 100 horses were presented to the ground juries for the two and three star today. Many were on their toes as the autumn breeze kicked up. Riders also took the opportunity to don their fall fashions; as colorful scarves and boots were the theme for the ladies and the guys took the chance to dust off their corduroys and blazers. The horses also looked nicely clipped and turned-out to the nines! Last Minute Preps Before Jogging My traveling companion...
