Rain at Morven and other things

It has been a busy few weeks for the True Prospect Farm crew.  Our local Plantation event was a big success.  I surprisingly had a free weekend after that and was able to regroup some.  Evie organized a Paperchase as a fundraiser for Mary and Olivia's school and I was able to ride with Olivia in that.
 
I just returned from a very wet and cold Morven Park.  Unfortunately, because of the rain there were a lot of withdrawls.  Ben and William Penn did dressage and showjumping and then stopped for a gallop on the way home at Michael Dickenson's beautiful Tapeta track.  They are both headed for the three star at Fair Hill.  I did run Young Man in the OI and he went well and is headed to the two star at Fair Hill.  Augie Vettorino's Gran Banks went well on the cross country in the Intermediate and is showing nice potential for the future.  I did not run Fernhill Fugitive on the cross country as it was his first Intermediate start and because it was so wet, decided it would be better to give him nicer conditions for cross country.
 
Next weekend is Maryland Horse Trials and then it is countdown to Fair Hill!
 
Cheers,
 
Phillip
