On Sunday, I went to the National Horse Show in Wellington. I have been a rider almost all of my life, except when I came to the US, as it was too expensive here. I rode for the South African Team and spent every weekend at horse shows, and most afternoons training. It was so odd going to the horse show this weekend and being on the ground! I half wanted to put on my jods and steal a ride!

Well, I dragged my poor boyfriend there, who says going to horse shows is like watching paint dry! Anyhow, he endured it, and luckily we ended up sitting next to another South African Family. The show was amazing. It’s incredible to think of the amount of money that goes into that sport. I think most of it gets consumed by traveling costs, vet costs, and general fees! My dad always used to say you should never invest in something that eats while you sleep.

I went to watch the Finals, which was an international event. It was incredible.
