Flintridge Horse Show -No better way to spend a weekend….
Sure, it was hot at times. The volunteers (Thanks to the La Canada Guild!!!!) put in a ton of hours and hard work and did an amazing job putting together such an event. All the effort was worth it. The Huntington Hospital will benefit from all the money raised.
I really cant think of a better way of spending my weekend. My kids (and all the friends that met us there or came with us) had a blast. They were encouraged to play, get a little dirty, learn about horses, feed horses (oops) and experience something different. You can read about horses all day long but nothing can replace the sights, touch, and yes, smell of horses and a horse show. We talked about Dressage, Hunters and Jumpers, how to feed a horse, safety, scoring, ribbons and the joy of riding.
My crew of kids fell in love with a horse named Pepsi (from Sunnybrook ranch) and rider 121. Oh there were others – Gunther, Gigi, Snowie, Coco and my personal favorite, Porsche. What about the talent? Such incredible riders, beautiful horses, the high jumps at the Grand Prix and the thrill of victory.
The volunteers generously gave their time and hard work. The corporate (Thank you Allen Lund!) sponsors and individual sponsors gave generously. It was wonderful to be outdoors enjoying the beauty in our own back yard.
Join me next year!
