Bruce Davidson

So here we are at the Rolex Three Day event for the first time for many years. The first two days have been rather quiet, not just for us to for all the vendors in our marquee, but then there have not been many visitors as yet. Everyone is confident that things will pick up from Friday onwards. The guy running the booth next door to us is praying for rain as he is selling Australian coats, hats, and wet weather gear! Everyone else is hoping for sunshine to drive the visitors in.

After we had closed up on Wednesday we took a stroll over to the lovely new stadium that was completed in 2009. The dressage events that have been added to the programme this year, along with the dressage tests for the eventers, are all taking place in the sand arena overlooked by the stadium. Outside the stadium is a great bronze statue of the famous American event rider, Bruce Davidson, which of course Tony took a quick snapshot off to attach to this Blog.

We then walked back to the RV and Tony got to work on the camp fire which has become a bit of a daily ritual, he really is regressing back to his Cub Scout days!

Cheers everyone!

More news in a couple of days.
