Home again after a very busy week – for both 2 and 4 and legged parties. The horses behaved impeccably, as did everyone else.

Competition was intense this year with many stunning horses and much incredible riding to be seen – a joy to watch.

We were hoping for some cooler weather but it seemed to us to be as hot in Albuquerque as it was when we left Phoenix, though we hadnt heard about the 115+ temperatures back home.

Thankfully the journeys there and back were uncomplicated with great weather, little traffic and no mechanical difficulties (unlike the 5 flat tires on the way to Sport Horse Nationals last year)

Well, now we start the preparation work to do it all again at SHN in a few weeks
