2007 Finals, Day One

COLD (47F), but the WIND makes it feel much colder. Occasioinal light rain, freezing rain, and snow. We're in Barn 8, near where we were last year.

A scary moment - one of our riders was walking her horse to school in the Colisuem. It was very windy, and blew a large bag at her horse. Her horse reared, then both rider and horse fell. The horse fell on the rider. A brief visit to the hospital determined she only has a pulled muscle.

Another scary moment in the crowded warm-up ring. Someone collided with one of our riders. Fortunately, everyone is A-OK.

We all went out to dinner at Ruby Tuesdays - FUN. We saw lots of familiar faces from competing during the year. The girls had a blast together, and talking with girls from other barns.

We have five riders in Specials tomorrow. Madi, Erin, and Spencer are in 2'. Tatum and Leslie are in 2'-6". There are 55 riders in 2', and Spencer rides 54th.

Look for an update tomorrow.

Good night.
