Aunt Esther, national and international Purse Champion, sends greetings from Deauville, where she is staying during the World Equestrian Games.
Because of a change in schedule, Aunt Esther is not accompanied by her sister Aunt Edith,who wears Shapely breeches, but instead by Coreene, who also wears them.
Aunt Esther has enjoyed the first two days of dressage, and is quite impressed at the level of riding she is witnessing. Aunt Esther, however, does not understand where the need for wild and garish colors on helmets comes from. Or a brown tailcoat at this level of competition. And please do not make the terrible error of wearing a blue helmet with a black coat.
Aunt Esthern of course has a driver, but does warn those driving and without VIP parking passes that it can be quite a hike to the stadium from most parking areas.
For those who are fans of wearing sandals and other open shoes, Aunt Esther also points out that the ground cover in the Games Village is primarily DG and gravel.
Aunt Esther is currently retiring foer the evening but looks forward to discussing WEG in greater detail tomorrow.
