At the end of Ferris Bueller's Day Off (potentially one of the best movies of all time), Ferris ends the movie saying; "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." On day 15 of WEG this seems to resonate quiet loudly. We still have driving, individual jumping, para dressage and vaulting medals to hand out, so by no means are we at the finish line yet. But we are getting closer. For some of us (myself definately) it's easy to get caught up in...

I spent last night stuck in Orlando and then Charlotte before finally getting home well after 2 am. Tornadoes ripped through North Carolina and there were a lot of stranded people. It was very encouraging that it was all over the news in the airport. I could have been stuck in Ocala at my lovely friend Max's house. She was kind enough to let me stay while I was at Live Oak, she works for Karen O'Connor, and lives on their wonderful farm, so I had it pretty good for 5 days. I paid for it by...

Arriving in Florida is always an adventure. Despite running laps between Lexington and Wellington this year, this was my first trip to Ocala, which of course means flying into Orlando. Which of course meant that I was the only person on my flight and in the airport without Disney World on the brain. Ocala and Lexington are locked in a fierce battle for bragging rights over which one really is the horse capital of the world. There are farms of every possible variety when you drive around this...
