Thursday was a beautiful day to enjoy being part of the
horse world in Lexington. After watching Chester Weber tie
for the lead in the driving competition, we decided to head back to
the Alltech Experience pavilion to enjoy some refreshments. To my
surprise, I recognized one of my friends and business associates among the
20,000 people walking in the other direction. My husband Jason and I had the luck and
fortune of being invited to join our friends from Dover Saddlery at a reception
they were hosting along with the USHJA. An added bonus was that the reception
was air conditioned! After exchanging stories about the previous night’s team
show jumping competition, Jason and I thanked our hosts and started our trek
back to the airport for our trip home. To my good fortune, I spotted walking
towards me one of my heroes, David O’Connor, who was kind enough to stop and
chat. I was gushing with admiration and was so happy to have my husband meet
him with me. With a beaming smile, we finally began our long trip home.
