I saw the results for the big hunter classic. Were there really only 7 in it? Egads. I remember the last time I showed there (er 7 years ago in the younger childrens) there were like 25 at least in that class. And it was big time. Like Scott Stewart with a few, Sandy with a few, and any other big time trainer who was at the show. Oh well, that's very sad. |

I think the venue change probably had a lot to do with the numbers this year. |

yeah I understand but I guess I'm surprised that more jrs and a/os didn't want to do it...especially without those big names in the class. I remember being pretty sad that I was doing the childrens then and once I started the jrs I didn't go to that show anymore. There seemed to still be a decent amount of jrs and a/so there. |

The show was just gorgeous! They did an amazing job. The ground was very, very hard. Though the footing in the sand arena was carefully tended to, I know many horses scratched, including myself (the second day). I'm sure the classic numbers had something to do with that. I'm looking forward to the move to Leesburg. Any ideas about how they will design the courses? Perhaps two rings on the outside course? |

Petunia - they will use the 2 all-weather rings they already have and word is they maybe open it up and make it one big ring for the classic. I think things will be MUCH better next year. It's a shame they had to go through this "transition" year - but I feel certain it will be great next year. And weather-pending, I am sure they'll use the outside course at Morven like you see at Loudoun. Good Gravy - yes, only 7. The word I heard was that there were a lot more entered until they decided to move it out of the all-weather ring and back onto the grass. I went over and watched for a while on Friday...and it was GORGEOUS! The jumps were lovely. It really really was just beautiful. But when I watched the Adults in the grass ring, my fillings were hurting when they cantered by me LOL! |

Mrs. Palin - How is the First Dude doing? Yes, the whole show was on the jumper side. They had lights rigged up...but the classic was held in the afternoon...over by 6pm. Tom Brennan won on Arion with scores of 85 and 88. |

Mizzwade, supposedly Raleigh the first week of October? Will you be there? I sent the entry but keep flip-flopping on whether I'm actually going to go...and since they will refund stall fees I guess I can continue on my merry indecisive way.

There are a bunch of hotels right there- my favorite is the hampton inn- it says the I-40 I think, maybe the I-440. It's less than 10minutes away, clean, comfortable beds, and wireless. |

We're coming to Raleigh too. Maybe we can convince E&E to bring Gene for a family reunion with Ice. |
