After 4 very long days and miles of construction we have all arrived safely. Every night we stopped at a farm where Oslo could stretch his legs every night. We drove through some beautiful country and some not so beautiful. The highlights of the drive where definitely stopping at Dog River (from the show Corner Gas) in Sask., driving through Wisconsin, and passing over the Blue Ridge Mountains between West Virignia and Virginia. Negatives were driving through Chicago(with the combination of about 10 toll booths and construction, is was a riot), accidentally driving through Charleston (Dad got to practice his shifting) and then finally getting on the right road in West Virginia to only get stopped because of an accident and having to turn around. Oslo travelled fairly well though and is enjoying his huge pasture at Fancy Hill Farm. Oslo will enjoy one day of rest and then we will start riding on Friday when the rest of the Canadian team is expected to arrive from Ontario.
We have met Sara Regehr (and Danika) from Vernon, B.C., one of the other members of the Canadian Junior team. Also, we met Alex Duncan (and Elektra), a Young Rider, and her mother, Christina, filled us in with all the information about the show and some important gossip (you know how the dressage world is!)!!!!
