Happy Weekend!

Rain or shine I'm wishing you a happy weekend as well as fancy feet in the dressage ring, fleet feet on your cross-country course, and clean feet in show jumping.

Good luck and happy spectating at Galway Downs, Pine Top, Corona del Sol, and Morven Park.

I never tire of hearing from Zara Phillips or the anyone with the word "Princess" (like her mother) in their name.

I'm over the moon for Felix Doolittle stationary, return address labels, kitchen labels, and calling cards for the little ones. Oh but there's so much more. You must go see.

I'm a sucker for hoodies. One from Cafe Press (expressing your 3-Day Eventing loyalties) is good this time of year what with the cool mornings.

The Courtney King-Dye Ebay auction is full of great items including "Courage, Power, and Freedom" bracelets (easy on the pocket-book) and an Hermes scarf (easy on the eyes). There's nothing wrong with getting something fabulous and supporting someone at the same time!

I sort of fell in love with these diving horse photos on Eventing Nation and their grainy, hazy feel. It's like something from a dream. What was that movie called with the diving horse?

Robert Dutesco's exhibit of the Wild Horses of Sable Island is on view at 13 Crosby Street in SoHo. If you're close by and not heading to a competition that's what I'd do!

Yikes, don't forget to get your Rolex tickets! Time's a runnin' short and you don't want to miss this year since the World Equestrian Games dressage and show jumping test events will be taking place. An added bonus.

Happy Weekend!

This picture makes me feel like it's a good time to run away to join the circus what with the sun starting to shine a bit more. Regardless of whether or not you make for the circus or a 3-Day Event this weekend, I hope you have fun! Here are some Friday treats I thought you might enjoy:

Southern Pines II takes place this weekend and all your favorites will be there including Phillip Dutton, Mara Dean, and Boyd Martin.

I'm enjoying Eventing Nation's Bracket Battle of Event Horses. Who's your pick?

Southern Pines II is also the first in the PRO Tour Event Series and there will be some new additions like the Britches and Bling Saturday night party. A double whammy of cool.

I'm loving Dappled Grey.

SUCCEED is always doing good things. They started an ebay auction on behalf of Courtney King-Dye. Support her by buying items in the auction or donating something yourself! One of my favorites is the "I prefer flats" tote bag by Horse Shoes By Design.

The FEI's Event Rider's Association has launched a new website.

Plus, a few Three Days Three Ways interviews you may have missed in the hubub:

Happy Weekend Team Three Days Three Ways! A few tidbits to launch you into your Friday and the upcoming weekend. Good luck if you're competing, and see you round!

I love the Tom's shoes leading this post that are polo inspired (okay, and I have a thing for red shoes). Plus the short telenovela that comes along with it!

Jackie at Regarding Horses is vying for the World Equestrian Games Blogospondent and I say we rally around her. Visit her blog to find out more about it and give your creative input. Go Jackie! Plus, she posted a super cute picture of us which is a bonus.

The competition season has swung into action. Check out the USEA for a schedule.

If you're like me and think it's cool whenever horses are on TV then you'll want to tune in to HRTV this Monday, March 15th at 10:30pm est for highlights of the USET holiday gala fundraiser presented by SUCCEED & Wellington Classic Dressage. The event featured a whole slew of top-notch equestrians including Gina Miles, Hawley Bennett, and Cathy Wieschhoff with Karen O'Connor officiating. Who wants to miss that?

Did you read Allison Springer's interview? She talks about the training session with Katie Prudent this weekend at Three Runs Plantation in Aiken, SC and says, "She actually teaches the auditors as well. You can’t help but learn when you’re around her. Katie really talks to the crowd.Everyone should come and watch." I agree! Contact Sara Ike at sara.ike@usef.org if you want to go this weekend.

Happy Weekend!
