Sorry to hear the bleacher story. The daughter, Katie, is a gem. Brilliant, sweet AND a very nice rider. Worked long hours in summer jobs so she could take a few lessons- which is more than most teens do these days. Stopped riding at Breckenridge when she went to college, so that is why you don't know her, Gracie. She had ridden there for YEARS. Had a Children's pony (Notion) and when she outgrew him she was never able to get another- not a lot of parental horse support. She rode whenever and whatever she could at the barn and never complained. I'd let her ride Magee in a heartbeat. I wish we had more teens like her! Really great girl-it's tough when your parents aren't the poster parent types- you know? |

Loudoun is an awesome show! It's seriously one of my absolute, all time favorites. THe outside course is beautiful, rings are nice, stalls are nice, and they have a wonderful catered exhibitors lunch every day on the hill over looking the rings. No, it's not the biggest show in the world, but it certainly is a lot of fun! |

BGT-I'm glad to hear that. Ms. Trainer and I decided yesterday that Gene is going. I'm hoping to be able to show. Suggestions on hotels? |

Response to several posts: (1) whose parent is the model parent? Mine certainly aren't, but I loff them just the same (2) Michelle's hubby is a-freaking-dorable. When I was still with Winn and so around him more, he'd help bathe horses, hold, groom etc...he's a super guy and I'm happy they found each other. (3) Loudoun is the bomb. Whomever didn't like it is whacked. They feed you, they outside course you, they let you keep the trophies for the year and my checkout $ is never in the HOLY SH!T range. (4) only thing sucky is that A/O's start Friday, but fortunately I have that friday off because of Global Warming ![]() (5) Days Inn, Hampton Inn, Holiday Inn--tons of hotels for the non-locals. |

Loudoun- love it! Of note, I was at Morven for a dressage breed show last weekend and we were stabled in barn D by the outside course. I saw a bulldozer making a huge mess on our beloved outside course...say it 'aint so. Maybe it will be put back together in time for Loudoun with grass and all? It was pretty messy out there. E |

I sort of know Katie since she was one of the older girls in the neighborhood and used to babysit some of my friends. She was never anything but nice. I believe she was a very talented swimmer as well. Unfortunately I know her mom a little better than her. Good to hear about Loudoun. I wonder if they were confused with Roanoke? |

The Holiday Inn in Leesburg has just been renovated and is pretty nice. It's maybe a 15 minute drive from Morven. There are also a bunch of Dulles Airport hotels that are not far. Also, if you want to go the luxury route, the Lansdowne Resort has a killer spa! |

They must have had it confused with something else. It is seriously a fabulous show. |

E & E's mom...you just gave me a brilliant money making idea for the summer: horse show babysitting service/tutoring. I am a teacher...would be perfect. Only I don't like LITTLE kids... |
