Devon Horse Show

This evening, I went to the Devon Horse Show with my friend Maggie. It's the largest horse show on the east coast, and just around the corner from us!


Though I haven't been on a horse since my days at sleep-away camp in middle school, Maggie still rides frequently and loves it. Watching the jumpers was definitely cool, even if I didn't have a clue as to what was going on.


I wanted this guy to win because he looked like Prince Harry. He didn't :(


We also saw the sidesaddle competition, which was pretty neat. I can't imagine being in a wool skirt on a 90 degree day, though!


We didn't take a photo together tonight, so here's one from when we went to the Grand Prix together a few years ago. (Sorry Mag, I had to.)

Before leaving for the show, I wolfed down a quick dinner: a peanut butter sandwich on sprouted bread, along with an apple and cherries.


Dark chocolate was also had, of course:


And I'm currently snacking on mixed nuts and more cherries. I almost bought something to eat at the show, but it was just too hot to really want anything but cold water.

Sooo tired tonight. I think the jet lag is finally catching up with me- hopefully I'll sleep past 5:30 tomorrow morning! Goodnight, everyone!

Have you ever ridden a horse or been to a horse show? I rode for about a second as a kid. As we know, I dabbled in just about everything at one point or another...
