ha ha witchy, Maya is the same way... she is the only kid in the barn that will ride the ponies with motor, and when they are fresh she's been known to "gallop it out" with a big grin ;) as long as there is no buck at the end of the gallop, she's good!

Francesca doesn't even care if they buck, just goes faster, so they can't buck. We went barrel racing tonight, and she was awesome at it. She and Glamour were flying. She said when she grows up she is going to be a barrel racer and Grand Prix rider.

I'm going to try to come down for Upperville this year as I've never been and luckily enough for me, the SO lives in Alexandria currently. I'd love to come down Friday/Saturday/Sunday.....but I don't see that happening.;) I'll be spectating probably Saturday and Sunday. There was talk of going to the Belmont Stakes as well, so I may miss out on Upperville again this year.:(

For anyone who knows anyone who wants to do leadline or walk trot this year but is visitng the area from out of town or otherwise pony-less, our farm is offering day leases for Upperville. Very reasonable package rates include entires, braiding, shipping, grooming and tack, the little ones just need to show up ready to ride. We have some of the fanciest ponies around, seasoned pros.

If you know anyone who'd be inteersted, I have full details listed in the "horses for sale/lease" section of the board, or you can PM me.

Looks like I'll be there June 9th! I don't have time to take a look at the schedule, but which day is the day of the GP?

The GP is on Sunday the 10th. However, the $20k Hunter Derby is at 5 PM on the 9th, so you will get to see a "big class." The $10k high A/O stakes is also on Sat.

Thanks SSR! Going to head out on Sunday then with the SO, he's never been to a horse show before so I figure the GP will be most exciting for a non-horsey dude. Anyone know what time the GP generally starts on Sunday? I know they have HB in the morning I presume.

How's the shopping at Upperville? I've never been and can't wait to go!

The GP starts at 2:30. Before it is the Jack Russel terrier races and the Carriage Driving Concours d'Eleganc. Get to the show grounds early, as parking is a nightmare otherwise. If it is going to be hot, bring sunscreen and an umbrella - there is not much shade around the GP grass ring. Remember to pack a picnic lunch, if you aren't joining someone's tailgate.

Yes, HB is in Hunter Ring I in the AM through early afternoon. Hunter Ring II has the Irish Draughts.

The Carriage Driving GP is at 10 AM on the Jumper side.

The shopping at Upperville is decent, and while a lot of the vendors will still be there, some tack-oriented ones are packing up or gone on Sunday, as the big days for them are Mon-Sat.

Yep, that was me. To help locate TOCers last year I stuck a piece of paper in my hat with the initials RNB written on it...maybe I'll give it a try again this year. :teehee:
