Nearly at WEG
At 70% off, these pajamas looked a good alternative to sleeping in travelling clothes. The only problem was they turned out to be 'youth' sizes so they were a tight fit! Amie's luggage has now arrived.
The facilities at the training camp are very flash. As it is primarily a competition venue we have it mostly to ourselves.
Not much time to sit around!
Canada geese have apparently become pests but they are huge birds and are a lovely sight by the ornamental lake.
Travelling with wheelchairs involves using renting a small truck as well as passenger vehicles. We followed the GPS back to the hotel and ended up having one inch to spare under a low bridge!
The horses are due to arrive at WEG on Saturday as thousands of spectators arrive for the cross-country. They all use the same entrance so for Amie and Elizabeth, the team organisers, trying to amend arrival times has been, and still is, a huge and time consuming problem.
Sandy Mitchell, who rides for Bermuda, had a awesome ride today. He is all ready for WEG.
Pop Art (Canada) and Victory Salute (Australia) both go in the Grand Prix Freestyle tomorrow - go Canada, Go Australia. I saw them both compete in Aachen. Both lovely, well ridden, horses.
