Farewell To Jewel Court Stud!
Well, we have finished our final day of training at Jewel Court Stud and after a very kind going away party hosted by the Cordia’s, I will be driving to Aachen this evening so as to be able to meet up with Chef D’Equipe, Gina Smith. Gina is an extremely accomplished Olympic rider from Canada and her world-class experience will be perfectly put to use in her role as Chef here in Aachen. Along with co-Chef, Gwynne Rooke, Gina will be extremely valuable to our Team at the WEG’s in Kentucky. Our official Team Vet, Geoff Vernon, will also be on hand here to ensure our Canadian Team has a full compliment of staff so that their one and only priority is to concentrate on riding great tests! And that is how a country is supposed to work for its athletes! I am very proud of and thankful to everyone who has made this Tour such a success so far and have great hopes that the fabulous Aachen show will be the perfect end to an amazing trip. It is always with horses that not everything goes as planned all the time, but I know that even the hard parts of our journey ultimately will bring our combinations to a higher, stronger standard then they would have thought possible before. On to Aachen!
Cheers!
