Just like I did last year I decided to head out to the Fair Hill International Event in Maryland a few weekends back. This event at Fair Hill is one of the most prestigious international three day events in the world, and is the ultimate test of a horse and rider. Through tests in dressage, endurance, and stadium jumping the horse and rider teams work together to show that they can compete in the most demanding and highest levels of equestrian sports.
To get to the event you have to ride on a school bus (the highlight for me)!
Over the years I’ve become quite the expert at school bus riding. I mean just look how cool I look, I bet everyone will want to sit next to me!
This year was a little different though, because I got to bring my sister along for the fun! And at just 9 weeks old I got to take her for her first school bus ride!
Before I could give my sister all the cool kid tips we had arrived at the event, I was just going to have to teach her on the fly.
We started off the day by visiting the main arena to watch the horses jumping.
As exciting as the jumping was, I totally couldn’t help myself when I spotted a make-shift hole in the straw bales. It was calling my name…so I made a fort.
After the jumping had wrapped up for the day I took my sister over to the kids play area.
Immediately I was the cool kid in the play area too, even the Alpacas flocked to me for my autograph. 😉
We took selfies, and rode ponies, having ourselves a grand time.
I even started teaching her how to REALLY ride.
As you can see, she’s starting to get the hang of it. No hands already! She’s gonna be a daredevil just like me.
And that’s where my adventure rearENDS. 😉 We had a fantastic fall day at Fair Hill International, and I got to teach my sister how to be really cool.
Who knows, maybe someday I’ll get to watch my sister competing at Fair Hill!
What was your favorite part about my adventure?
