Fair Hill


On Thursday and Saturday I went to the Fair Hill International Three Day Event with my mom. 
Here are some photos I took. Lot's to see: dressage, dogs, jumping. Even a falconer was there!

More Fair Hill Fun...


A few more photos from the Fair Hill International 3-Day Event...


Near every jump on course there are outriders, people on horses prepared to catch a loose horse or help in any way they can if something should happen. 

This Appaloosa walked down to the water jump to get a drink between riders. 



Usually outriders are on horses but I was especially fond of this pretty white mule.



I love the heart shaped marking on this chestnut's head and the big, bright eyes on the bay.



At Fair Hill there are almost as many dogs as people!



Plenty of entertainment from dog agility, live music, kid's art activities, Pony Club demos, shopping and a man with hawks and falcons!



It was an amazing  fall day to be out on a horse. 
I love the spooky looking tree above and the beautiful buckskin below.

Cross Country at Fair Hill


I had a wonderful time yesterday at the Dansko Fair Hill International. It was the cross-country phase of the event which is always a favorite. As a spectator you get a nice little hike in walking from jump to jump watching some of the top riders and horses tackle very scary (to me) obstacles. 
Honestly I don't know how some do it!
