Oh My GOSH!!!! I am breathing hard and did not even get off my chair here!! WOWEE...what a dream to ride along with him and Henn! I loved how he said run-Henn-run!! FANTASTIC!!! So many of thoise were in the shade..I could not even see them..and narrow! woo! Thanks Jenn, so when is Gabe going to do this? Kac
KK...I know! I was the same way, I caught myself sitting up to slow him down and collect him right before the jumps a couple of times. How about that one where he had to jump through a "tunnel?" Talk about trust! The skinnies were very, very narrow! They don't seem quite that narrow when you're walking a course.
Hmmm...it might be a few years before Gabe is ready to do a 3-star! If ever. But I'm definitely going to check into wiring up a helmet cam for our first event, even if it is a boring green bean one. :D
I love Peter Atkins so much! I got to ride with him briefly back in 2000 or so. And bought a really fantastic dressage saddle off of him.. which I just recently sold... sniff. A true horseman, that man, and I really respected him more than anything when he described riding the endurance phase of Camino Real with food poisoning. Like, how can anyone even consider that? Tough guy.
So cool! Thanks for sharing.
