Becky's 2008 Rolex Report: Courageous Competitors
http://rolexreport08.blogspot.com/2008/04/courageous-competitors.html
Becky's 2008 Rolex Report. Thursday, April 24, 2008. Again, let me say that Kentucky horse country is a magical place for anyone who loves nature, horses, or life in general. I'm reminded of life cycles as I see mares and foals in the fields, fecundity as I look at the glorious greens of spring, and good folks as I meet people who share my passion for horses and eventing. After a quick trip to Quillin Leather and Tack. I was impressed once again with Phillip Dutton's ride on Woodburn. Donna and I not...

Becky's 2007 Rolex Report. Sunday, April 29, 2007. So Close.And Yet So Far. What a ride.again! Today was gorgeous- the perfect day for.well, for anything, but especially for stadium jumping.

NOW- on to the Stadium! Congratulations on an excellent, solid, well ridden event! To the crowd's delight. Smart woman! The ot...

http://rolexreport08.blogspot.com/2008/04/bridesmaid-finally-wedded.html
Becky's 2008 Rolex Report. Sunday, April 27, 2008. The Bridesmaid Finally Wedded. Well, the women didn't pull it out this time, but Phillip Dutton, who's been second at Rolex five separate times (as well as numerous other placings) finally did it- he's the Rolex champion for 2008. Frodo Baggins was immediately attended by a team of veterinarians. He was given intravenous fluids and supportive medications for shock and pain. After he was stabilized, he was sedated and transported by horse ambulanc...Furth...

Becky's 2008 Rolex Report. Wednesday, April 23, 2008. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.have a good ride! After a leisurely morning of playing with dogs, walking in the glorious green grass of Paris, KY, visiting Quillin Leather and Tack shop. We made it in plenty of time to wander around the various outdoor marketplaces, find our spot in the Equestrian tent (a step up from the last few years, to be sure! And to mosey in and out of the merchants in the covered arena before trudging up to the trot up at 3:00. Julia Steinburg...

Becky's 2007 Rolex Report: Gearing Up
http://rolexreport07.blogspot.com/2007/04/gearing-up.html
Becky's 2007 Rolex Report. Tuesday, April 17, 2007. I've just listened to the Talking Equine Network's. Ask the Vet" show, and they're going to do a special, pre-Rolex show next week (April 20th). I'm psyched! The podcasts have been really, really fun to listen to- I've enjoyed them all, but particularly the "up and coming" rider Will Coleman, Jimmy Wofford, David O'Conner, Kim Severson.and the "ask the vet". The equine dating thing was fun, too. No more stressing over the birth! Talking Equine Network P...

Becky's 2007 Rolex Report: Brrrrrrrrrr!
http://rolexreport07.blogspot.com/2007/04/brrrrrrrrrr.html
Becky's 2007 Rolex Report. Friday, April 27, 2007. The good news was that it never really rained today (sprinkled/drizzled a few times, but nothing lasting). The bad news was that it was overcast and dreary all day long- and by the evening, the wind picked up to what I've heard call a "lazy" wind- too lazy to go around you, it goes right through you instead. Brrrrrr! A few horses with really nice suspension: Flame, ridden by Heath Ryan; Northern Spy, ridden by Heidi White Carty, and Courageous Comet ridd...

Becky's 2007 Rolex Report: A New Beginning!
http://rolexreport07.blogspot.com/2007/04/new-beginning.html
Becky's 2007 Rolex Report. Saturday, April 21, 2007. Mary Beth, my lovely Anglo-Trakhener mare in foal to Routinier. Finally did it: she had her foal! He's a gorgeous, big bay, with a big diamond and two hind socks (along with white splotches on both front heels). He's a big guy- bigger than the week old colt in the stall next to him. Once again, I've been listening the the Talking Equine Network,. Who is going to be broadcasting from Rolex, and I'm excited to hear about all the international riders....

Becky's 2008 Rolex Report: Girl Power!
http://rolexreport08.blogspot.com/2008/04/girl-power.html
Becky's 2008 Rolex Report. Friday, April 25, 2008. As of yesterday, Becky Holder and Courageous Comet had a commanding lead- more than 10 points lower than anyone else. While that's not quite a refusal or run out, it's more than two rails, and all of those things come into play in the events to come. But day two of dressage saw some excellent rides, and like 2006 it's the women who are leading the way. Once again, I was impressed with Dutton's relaxed seat and excellent hands. I've heard he's not the...
