When I was in KY this weekend, I had a few moments to walk around the snowy grounds of the Kentucky Horse Park. I walked out to the XC fields and it was amazing to see combined driving obstacles amidst the famous Rolex jumps. The progress over the past year has been incredible, and it is impossible for me to convey how much work is going into bringing the World Equestrian Games to Kentucky.
The new indoor is gigantic outside...
...and inside the lobby...
...and yes, that is a Pepsi machine. Please recycle.
Outside, Bruce Davidson rides in the snow.
I stood beside the main outdoor arena and couldn't help but wonder at how different it will look in September.

Finally, I thought it might be fun to show everyone some video of my first event this year. Please forgive my horse for being all scruffy, I hadn't clipped him yet. Why was everyone laughing so hard?

You forgot to include pictures of the Southern Lights Christmas decorations which are still littered throughout the park.
Seriously, can we not get those put away? It's almost March! I know the weather here has been most crappy, but take the freaking lights down. It's embarrassing.
