as the Wellington Winter Festival was going on with a lot of nice show jumpers around. Marcus Fuchs from Switzerland with his great mare La Toya III won $ 100 000 last Sunday, he jumped again yesterday but had 8 faults in the round I saw, here they are flying over an oxer



after having running back and forth on the wonderful show grounds of Wellington Portia and I had to grab a beer, just as I had put down the camera and grabbed the beer I spotted Rodrigo Pessoa, the beer was forgotten and the camera was out again, look at my first paparrazzi photo!

hehe....that's awesome! :) You really MUST go see the american invitational in Tampa at the end of WEF. I used to go every year! I really miss that show...it was always a lot of fun...and some good riding too! I got to see the likes of Gem Twist, Margie Goldstein-Engle, Ian Miller and Big Ben too at that show....ah the memories!

Will go to WEF Tampa, this time though Todd said he would come with the camera, I think he got a little bit concerned over the beer and Rodrigo Pessoa

That is a short drive for me! Please someone post show info (when and where). Maybe I will tell Peter I am going "shopping"... Just teasing, but great pic Jessica! Maybe Todd is right to come if that is the scenery one finds at the big shows...

Heather, go to http://www.stadiumjumping.com and click on upcoming events there you'll find info on Budweiser Invitational in Tampa and other events there in March - April.
We will try to attend to the invitational as well.

Very nice photos- sometimes it is hard to know who to look at, the horses or their riders haha! Fortunately the riders are often on their horses which makes the whole process that much easier!
