Work it Baby ~ Work it Right

JustWorld International’s STRUT Fashion Show makes for a stylishly good time High season in Wellington means so many (many many many) events, and so little time. There’s still a whole three weeks to go, and it’s already hard to keep one’s head above water. But during the first weekend in March, rest assured that On the Line tried. In the midst of the madness, I stopped in for a little fun at the JustWorld International STRUT Fashion Show at WEF on Saturday night. After Nations Cup night, before the big Sunday grand prix, and right after Paul O’Shea cleared a whopping Puissance wall, a dozen or so well-known riders took over the transformed Wellington Club at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center and walked the gauntlet runway in front of a sea of smiling faces.

Countdown to Rolex Kentucky – April 26-29!
Wednesday, March 07 2012
It’s all starting again – the insanity of putting together the May issue with the Rolex preview, but it’s a labor of love, because of a lifelong passion for eventing. DAGGNABBIT! just lost about 300 words – okay, it’s after midnight, we have worked hard today: met a deadline, didn’t get to ride, hauled a horse to the Middleburg Training Center in the big rig, drove back to the farm, ran to Upperville for the Riding Far LLC equestrian sports psychology presentation by Dr. Paul Haepner, drove home (very careful about the deer), got into a good rhythm writing, needed to track down some info, hit ‘save draft’ and returned to the blog to discover that forces beyond our control had wiped out 45 minutes of work… Breathe. Think good thoughts. Breathe… In the big scheme of things, this is merely a minor bump in the road of life… So far, Rolex Ke ntucky boasts a few stellar entries, including four from William Fox-Pitt (GBR), two from Karen O’Connor, and two from Oliver Townend (GBR). The three featured riders are James Alliston (GBR), Jan Byyny and Doug Payne

Rolex in Retrospect & Getting Excited about 2012
Thursday, March 01 2012
Last year, we left Lexington about 5 pm on Monday, having delivered copy and pix about Rolex Kentucky 3-Day Event, presented by Bridgestone. We had a few nice little goodies: Rolex microfiber eyeglass pouch, Rolex lanyard with jump drive, Bridgestone water-resistant “bag” with unique drawstrings so it can be slung like backpack, and from the Alltech Press dinner a highlights DVD of the 2010 Alltech World Equestrian Games and a huge umbrella that promptly turned inside out in the high winds. We did no shopping whatsoever – no time for such pleasurable pursuits – we didn’t even bring back any Kentucky Ale.
