I am looking forward to another great show this week at the Palm Beach Derby, despite the chill which continues in the air.  The Grand Prix is very big again, even without some of the usual combinations such as Ashley Holzer and Pop Art, defending champions from last year, and some of the other Americans who chose to sit this one out. Even without these riders the class goes from 10:30am to 4:30pm so it will be a very full day for the judges and all of us spectators alike.

Tonight, Mary Phelps hosted the 2nd annual Equestrian Aid Foundation benefit with lovely food and fantastic silent and live auction items. With so many of our friends being helped presently by the EAF, it is impossible to maintain their current level of giving without everyone’s help.  If you were not able to attend but would like to see how you can give to this amazing organization, dedicated to supporting those in our industry suffering from life threatening illnesses or injuries, please go to Equestrianaidfoundation.org.  Thank you!

I will be posting daily comments on the World Equestrian Games qualifying classes each evening.

Cheers!

RD
