Best of luck, Reed! I'm still stuck in the Air Capital - I was meant to be up in Montreal with our new silver bird so I begged off being at Maui Jim - grrrrrrrr (to quote gnep).

Might have been filming filler for the Olympics. A link on the ESPN website shows that Eventing Dressage is sometime between 2am & 2pm on Saturday August 9th with XC on Oxygen at 6-8 pm on Monday...

And don't forget the southernmost Area IV venue - Briar Fox Farm (it only feels like an Area V venue when the OKies take over). Only about 4 hours from the Ozarks!

Painted One,
I send out & keep up a website with the majority of eventing, dressage & associated shows & clinics in both Area IV and Area V. You can check out what's happening on the calendar on...

Just go to the Area 35 website & you'll see a shot of Mrs KS & Lady coming off their first Prelim at Crosstar - with time penalties but clear! - looking like they could do it all again.

On our...

I bought Mrs. KS a soccer referee's watch for about a third of the price of the big yellow. Check out http://www.soccer-referee.com/watches2.htm You'll se it's waterproof and comes with a...

Reed,
I've been thinking about your timetable and, while I can see the correctness of the approach in a research context, I wonder if it's right in the situation we find ourselves in today. If...

Garmin's HQ is in Olathe, Kansas, less than a couple of miles from Heritage Park where MACTA holds their HT. They have been very proactive in a parallel safety program that acquires similar speed &...

Reed or John,
I'd just like to second J Swan's request. Any chance of an article in Eventing or a posting on the Area IV and/or IX websites? It would be most interesting to see how much speed...

I may be being pedantic but the Equestrian Games are not being held in Beijing - too many equine diseases - but in Hong Kong specifically at the HK Jockey Club in Happy Valley. Full details here:...

Hope I'm not on it <g>.

Bobbi,
I fully understand because of the crazy costs (can someone please explain why diesel is nearly $1 more than gas - the winter heating oil season's over & I don't...

Well unfortunately my fears were realized - talked to the organizer last night and the Briar Fox T3D has been cancelled because of lack of entries (beleive Bobbi was one of the few). Guess I'll just...

Much as I love the additional competition when stadium is the final phase with riders in reverse order, having stadium before XC is probably the safer option. At least then if someone's not up to...

From a very brief chat with John Staples before he made his presentation at the Safety Seminar, it's very possible to be both over the optimum time and going too fast. The GPS data shows that the...

Janet,
This echoes my fear that the final upshot of all this will be a set of additional rules that, for a lot of the already marginal regions, will just be another nail in the coffin such that...

Texas,
It might be a popular format but maybe not so much in Kansas & Oklahoma. I've been away for work & Mrs. KS informs me that the T3D at Briar Fox is in danger of being cancelled because of...

SR,
The short answer is probably stopping everything short especially as far as the AECs is concerned. It's been covered in this thread: http://www.chronicleforums.com/Forum/showthread.php?t=151419...

Tex,
If you mean the dates for HTs in the Denver area I've got them on my website Calendar which include a few changes from the original Area IX calendar. As far as contact with Adri, I don't have...

I know it's not until the first weekend in August but, with all the flooding from the Cedar River in the area, is Catalpa Corner in Iowa in doubt? If so, then we might be looking at some sort of...

If you connect up & use your laptop in a truck (especially a diesel with a dual battery), you'll not only have an almost inexhaustable source of power & you'll be in a "Faraday Cage" that will keep...

Meredith,
Sorry didn't mean to imply the rest of Corona's dates are cancelled - just that the June date was pulled so that was another HT lost as far as qualifying goes. AFAIK Adri's toiling away...

Threeday 33,
With the loss of venues (Hill 'N Hound, Hidden Hollow, Corona del Sol) and the XC cancellations (Briar Fox for one) there's a lot of riders in Areas IV & V who will find it very...

Posted this on the BFF HT review in error - Mrs. KS informs me she will be the judge at the T3D at Briar Fox at the end of the month.

CMP's weren't the only comments in the Rolex review. Mike Etherington-Smith echoed Lucinda Green's comments after the European Championships (she thought they'd forgotten how to ride "a good...
