Cheers! Last weekend was fun and filled with horse events. Saturday was a beautiful riding day ending in a drive to Raleigh to attend the 2012 HOY awards gala. Then , Sunday morning, an early drive to Pinehurst to judge a show. This is the first show of the new year to incorporate the half points in the tests. The show inspired some thoughts I would love to share with you all. However, that will have to come a little later because my quick lunch break will not facilitate that much writing. The sun has broken through the clouds and my fingers are nice and warm again, so I need to get back outside. For now, here are a few pictures from the Gala 2012 taken by Gavin or Daryl Taylor.

My husband, Bob. Clearly we have limited expressions in our household. At least we're positive, right? Coolness is over-rated. Coach Carolyn is in the background in red.
The two second level contenders broke out into a wicked cat fight demanding vindication next year. ... just kidding. It was staged drama... or was it?
