A BIG day for sports all around!
Susan and I went to the Boston area this weekend to visit with Anna at Endicott College. It was great to see her. While we were there, we went to two horseshows for their equestrian team. Anna rode in the Sunday show in Tiverton, Rhode Island (yes, a real "road trip weekend"). There were about 10 schools there (Boston College, Boston Univ., Tufts, Wheaton, etc.). They bring in rented horses for the show and each rider is randomly matched up with a horse - so no one has an advantage.
It was Anna's first time ever participating in a real horse show and she did great - she won her Class. Of course, Dad had the video camera rolling.
So, between the Phillies, the Eagles, and Anna, it was a fun sports weekend.

How about if we have a major sporting event without Referees, Umpires, Judges or Stewards? I Love that a 65 to one shot did ...

A horse is a horse, of course, of course,
And no one can talk to a horse of course
That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Ed.
Go right to the source and ask the horse
He'll give you the answer that you'll endorse.
He's always on a steady course.
Talk to Mr. Ed.
People yakkity yak a streak and waste your time of day
But Mister Ed will never speak unless he has something to say.
A horse is a horse, of course, of course, And this one'll talk 'til his voice is hoarse.
You never heard of a talking horse?
Well listen to this.
I am Mister Ed.
I didn't think ANYBODY watched that show.....
What a great video of my favorite niece! Is it okay to say an 18 year old niece is sooo cute? I need a ruling on that. If not she's, definetly the most impressive college rider I've ever watched! I can't wait for the polls to come out; Endicott's gotta be # 1.
yeahhhh anna getting the blue as mckendry's always do! and blaze i never knew you were so talented with the video camera!

FYI... Congrats Anna. I see you are taking up where your uncles left off. After all they were the first champions of the Wissahickon Rodeo. Whoa, Blackjack.
and as I recall the Dutch Cowboy paid for every ride!
