Dropping in to say Iām a Saddle Horse person and very disappointed by the almost nonexistent presence of them
I remember when Devon was the show to attend.
Wonder where they all are
Eh, the live stream where I am is terrible (buffering every 3 seconds) so I guess Iāll just view the recorded classes each day

Iām actually at the show this afternoon. (Long story, DH has car stuff tomorrow and next Saturday, so weāre in Philly for 10 days. And thanks to COTH forums, I found out about the show. Watched lots of AO hunters this morning and into the afternoon (endless, actually.) And now fancy high steppers. Entries are very light, yes, but thatās an industry-wide problemā¦ Just not that many people are interested in that world anymore. Itās expensive, and owners/riders/drivers donāt get to do a lot with their horses.
I was happy to see a few Morgans in the saddleseat classes, though.

I guess Iāll see tomorrow. Looked at one class from yesterday today and still had a lot of buffering. Might be the internet where I am
The fudge and the finger sandwiches there are legendary. Ditto for the lemon sticks.
Just FYI.

We got the finger sandwiches, but never found the lemon sticks. I had a really good raspberry popsicle though.
Lemon sticks are at the candy booth and there are also kids wandering around selling them at different times of the day. I have to say the tea sandwiches are not up to par this year. Very disappointing, since they are are a favorite. I do highly recommend the Champion cocktail.
I thought the tea sandwiches were ok. Not great, but ok. DhH and I were so hungry we just stopped at the first place with not-fried food we found, after leaving our seats. He later bought deep fried Nutter Butter cookies. (I ate oneā¦)
How fun that you were able to go!
I wonder why McLean Ward didnāt show in tonightās Grand Prix or show up to accept his awards.
