It's that Devon time of year!

What a gorgeous day we had. We arrived yesterday with the "three amigos", Audi, Jen's horse Jeffery, and Ruby. We settled in, had a quiet dinner, and crashed.

Today we got up to school the boys before the rush. They were all super, even young Ruby, who I schooled while mares and foals were being trotted in hand. Audi was perhaps the most on edge. He knows what's coming. He's been here before. The air at Devon gets him "up". But his two's and one's were big and spot on, and his p and p work were big and even. I couldn't ask for better.

I got text all day long from all my friends at the WEG. Rumors of Totilas being sold flew rapidly but since squelched. Para-equestrian, Mary Jordan, has been emailing daily since her arrival. It was a long hard trip for her and her lovely mare Paxton Abbey, but she earned that spot, and knows it's going to be a blast! She's worked so hard to get there, with a smile on her face. She spent her first few days being "pit crew" for the Australian Endurance riders. But now her focus is on her and Pax getting ready for their gig next week. Pax is a great horse. Tomorrow they are going to ride through the test for practice. It's killing me not to be there, but I know riding Shorty under the lights again is also important!

There is a little trouble on the horizon in the weather forecast. We stuffed the tack stall full of all our gear, literally. Apparently a tropical storm is on it's way up. I guess it wouldn't be Devon without just a few puddles....

Will let you know how we fare. Am leaving my ruby red slippers next to the bed, just in case!
