Yesterday was absolutely gorgeous here (unseasonable, but gorgeous). After a rainy morning, the sun came out and the temps climbed up into the mid-60s. When I went for an afternoon walk at the back of the Kentucky Horse Park, it was super windy, but lovely.

We interrupt our week-long visit to the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Perryville with this brief announcement: tonight is Big Blue Madness … in other words, the “practice” that marks the official start of basketball season at the University of Kentucky. Everyone here in Lexington is nearly as excited about this year’s team as we were about last season’s National Championship-winning team. Go Big Blue!!
Back to our regularly scheduled programming tomorrow …

Today — the final day of this year’s Kentucky Classic CDE, here at the Kentucky Horse Park — featured the cones phase of the CDE and the medal ceremonies for four new National Champions (in the pair-horse, single-pony, pair-pony, and pony-team divisions).

In the pair-horse division, Misdee Wrigley Miller, who had the best dressage score among all the CDE competitors, was declared Reserve Champion …
