It’s Time to Jog at Rolex!
Thursday, April 25 2013
By Jan Westmark-Allan All of the horses passed the jog yesterday, despite the fact that it was a wet, wild and windy day! Today is cold and beautiful in the BlueGrass State and at the Kentucky Horse Park! We have purchased New Vocations sweatshirts to stay warm – and just got back from watching the Friesian demonstration! Dressage is half way through today, and is going great. Here are a few photos of yesterday’s jog. (All jog photos by Beth Harpham) William Fox-Pitt and Seacookie

ROLEX **** KY: Thursday Morning Dressage Results
Thursday, April 25 2013
PREQUEL: Today we arrived about when dressage started – Beth Harpham was out there shooting which is such a huge help, you simply can’t imagine - and honestly, we felt it was imperative to publish the post we had started on MONDAY night whilst packing for the drive to Kentucky, which turned into a very long and exhausting road trip – after being up all night getting ready to meet our ride on time, waiting 90 minutes longer than anticipated and then a breakdown just over the line in W VA – God bless those fellows, especially automotive guru Zane, at the garage in Lewisburg just off the I-64 exit, because they made that four-hour delay worth every moment by determining what went wrong with the car etc etc, getting the car’s owner to the nearby airport’s car rental agencies, etc – which made for an extremely draining Monday and Tuesday, especially on no sleep. By the time we arrived at our hotel, we were exhausted, famished and ready for a resuscitating glass of wine with dinner

ROLEX KENTUCKY plus horsey things back in Virginia…
Thursday, April 25 2013
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.
