A fine week is in the books for the 2008 Connecticut Summer Classic Horse Show. Thanks to organizers and everyone who worked so hard in the heat (and humidity). Partial proceeds of the horse show benefit Saddlebred Rescue Inc., (http://www.saddlebredrescue.com/) which is a wonderful cause.
There is a wonderful aspect to this show for children with lots of activities geared to them daily during the school summer vacation period which makes things attractive to the younger set.
Maybe I am wrong but this year it seemed there were a lot more Academy riders- filling every class plentifully. It was great to see, I just had to pass on NR's mudslides at the exhibitor party the night before w/the early academy wake up call!

Ginny visited!!! We missed you honey, you were a joy to have around, thanks for all of your help.
If you're reading this and you stay in W. Springfield for horse shows and related events I highly recommend the Hampton Inn on Rt 5, we've never stayed at this particular one before and it was reasonable and very nice: including touches like an outdoor pool (in August! Yay!), cute daily surprises/perks from housekeeping, free hi speed wireless internet, and a complimentary expansive breakfast buffet. Ask for the horse show rate!
Here's how the week went: congratulations riders and drivers. From cookies and milk, to seeing so many of you meet your goals: it was a blast.

Nicholas, Elena and Libby strategize! Or perhaps upon a closer inspection we will find the girls are holding the bridle so Nicholas doesn't get bucked off!
Kathleen Osnoe and Harlem's Beau Dandy were a crowd favorite in the Show Pleasure Driving division at CSC- congratulations on an outstanding performance people are still talking about!
Courtney's Box (Never seen a Box filled with so many useful, mysterious & enjoyable surprises!) This picture does not do it justice. The photos of her harness didn't come out great due the extreme solar eclipse sun glare action from the shine on her brass!
