I rarely miss it, it is 10 minutes from my house. It is a sight to behold. Love those 4 in hands going through the water hazards. They have a cool big bridge and a couple of tricky steep hazards that those biggies make look easy. Lots of big names in driving to make me say ooooohhhhh aaaaahhhhh wow.
I was chatting minis with a lady on the sidelines last year and came to find out she was Jaye of Regency miniatures. I would love to take a lesson from her some day, she has offered to let me come to her place and check it out, but I haven't had the time yet..
My trainer sometimes competes at the laurels. She has also done some navigation for others. She used to navigate for Lisa Singer and once I got to ride along on a trail drive with my trainer driving the morgans Lisa was competing with at the time. I was in awe all day. I got a couple of simple navigating jobs back then (not hanging off the back, just sitting in the seat and leaning when I was told to lean). That was super fun. I still laugh at the photo somebody snapped of us going through a hazard and she says "you looked like you were screaming in that hazard , mouth open shot LOL". I probably was screaming. haha. I am such a wimp.
At the same site for the Laurels they have something called the "teddy bear picnic" which is a schooling show and they have miniatures at that one. My boy Ike I think did the teddybear picnic with his former owner. Teddy bear picnic is a fun one to go to also. I always take a few dogs and hang out for the day.
We are also close to fair hill md. which has the fairhill international which is an olympic level riding three day event that has dog agility as a feature too. They used to do the combined driving at fairhill but stopped and that is when the Laurels were created.
wow, rather chatty tonight ladies. This time of year I get so pumped up, there are so many horse events around I can hardly wait to go see them.
Myrna, be sure you post photos, especially of your new mare. She makes me go ga ga. I love her type.
