<3 The Nice People of Lexington & Rolex Kentucky
Wednesday, April 22 2015
Sometimes half the fun is getting there. Sincere thanks to Sharon White for the ride from her Last Frontier Farm to Kentucky Horse Park – you’re a 4* star and we wish you and Wundermaske the best of luck this week! Staying in the KHP Campground for the second year required a pleasant hour or so bench-warming after Sharon dropped us off at the Campground Store. She had to be at the horse park in order to join the other Rolex riders — Allison Springer, Liz Halliday-Sharp, Will Coleman — and Kentucky Reining Cup rider Lyndsey, from nearby Georgetown, who happens to be a two-time National Reining Horse Association World Champion.
