ROLEX KENTUCKY plus horsey things back in Virginia…
Thursday, April 25 2013
by Editor
Why is it so challenging to get sorted out with deadlines and pack for Rolex without a lot of last minute insanity and assorted crazy moments? Well, perhaps because Rolex is, quite simply, one of the greatest (horse) shows on earth! This four-star equestrian triathlon of dressage, cross-country and show jumping is an exciting three-phase test of horse and rider. We’re looking forward to a completely unique Rolex experience this year, because for the first time ever the Sidelines’ presence will be a team: editor Jan Westmark-Allen, writer Abby Westmark, freelance photographers Beth Harpham and Beth Grant, Sidelines TV Rob Jordan (who might not be able to join us after all), and yours truly.

Abscesses: Their Prevention and Treatment
Wednesday, April 24 2013
by Editor
Have you ever gone out to the barn to find that your horse is suddenly lame, and reluctant to put weight down on one hoof? There’s no heat or swelling in his legs, but it’s evident he’s in serious pain? Chances are your horse could be suffering from a hoof abscess.

A Chat With William Fox-Pitt Before 2013 Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event
Tuesday, April 23 2013

William Fox-Pitt – Second Rolex Diary Welcoming a new member to the Fox-Pitt family [Congratulations on your new baby! How is she doing?] The big excitement at the end of October last year was definitely the arrival of Chloe Rose into the family! Luckily she waited to appear before I got back from Pau, so her timing was perfect. She’s now six month’s old and it’s like she’s always been here – she gets on really well with her two older brothers, and parents for that matter – we’ve been very lucky, she’s a good girl! Taking a break over the winter months [You had a bit of a winter break between November and January, how did you spend it?] The break I had between November and January was fairly baby focussed! Normally at that time of year we would have a holiday, Alice and I, but this year that wasn’t really going to be possible

by Editor
