ROLEX: Friday Dressage Update (Saturday morning)

Saturday, April 27 2013 by Editor

Chilli Morning was cool as you-know-what when he and William Fox-Pitt (GBR) absolutely aced the dressage test to earn 33.3 penalty points, thereby commanding first place on the leaderboard. This is not a surprise if you have seen William Fox-Pitt in action, and also he has won two Rolexes – 2010 & 2012.

ROLEX – Friday morning update

Friday, April 26 2013 by Editor

Well, for our 8th Rolex, this week can be described quite nicely by that great song Truckin’ by The Grateful Dead (yep, classic rocker all the way) by the line: What a long, strange trip it’s been!!!! We have spent 12 hours-plus on the road to Rolex with that breakdown – we had just crossed over the line to W. Virginia on I-64 – but what great local people. All’s well that ends well.

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.
