Ex-Rolex Horse Needs Help

Subs competed back in the day for Rolex, placing 15th with Olivia Loiacono. He is now 20 years old and his insurance coverage does not cover all of the colic surgery he recently had to undergo. They are asking for assistance. To see more go here: http://thehorseaholic.com/help-needed-for-ex-kentucky-rolex-3-day-event-horse/

I am all for helping other rides. Horses are expensive and coming together as a horse community to help each other makes this whole horse thing possible.

Rolex is over...how you can keep the excitement alive!

You can still check out some of the video footage on the USEF Network and the United States Eventing Association.

So what do the eventer fans have to look forward to for big deal events? To check out a full calendar see USEA website. Here are the big ones:

Rolex Kentucky Is Starting!

Today (April 24, 2014) Rolex starts with dressage! Very sad I am missing it this year, it was so much fun last year. My favorite Rolex experiences were the cross country, stadium jumping, vendors, and crowds.

Last  Year's Winner: Quimbo and Andrew Nicholson

Our Engagement Party With A Little Country Flare

My Sister and Mother put together a great Engagement Party with a little country feel to it! Not to much horse and not too much cowgirl, just right! Thanks Mom and Kritters! Countdown to the wedding, 2 months away on May 17th!

They made these cute champagne glasses with lace, roses, and twing on a burlap piece.

Cute lace place mats, gerber daisies in mason jars, and little party favors in a little brown bag.

Adorable and yummy dairy free appetizers!
