Now it is time to pack up the suitcases for our last week of our holiday. :-(
Rolex SJ Day was an awesome experience...they really worked the crowd before it commenced and then the last 6 rides shown live on NBC. Before the jumping started, there was a course walk with commentary & a presentation of US Pony Club's mounted games championships. PC members also carried in big flags of each country represented.
It was great to see Mary King 1st and 2nd...what a week it has been for her after 3rd at Badminton last weekend. Sinead Halpin is America's new star, taking out 3rd in her first four star. William Fox Pitt was 4th & Clayton Fredericks 5th for Aus after a rail dropped them down 2 places. Oli Townend 6th...so a good trip for the British contingent. Hamish Cargill did complete, but had 4 rails showjumping.
All in all, a good weekend with the weather coming out sunny this afternoon after storms last night. Now we head to North Carolina for most of the week, have a few days in NYC before flying home to Aus. It's all gone so quickly!!
