The Gus Rhodie Socks were finally finished this weekend in Canada at the Bromont Equestrian Park. My daughter competes with friends in the Driving event held annually.
There are three events- marathon, cones and dressage. The timed marathon is the most exciting as the team has to maneuver through and around designated obstacles without points deducted for faults.
There are single teams and tandem teams like below.
This is the Canadian national team of four. They are really flying... see the soil kicked up at the tires?
Aurora and George in the winner's parade... Red is first is Canada :)
I came home to see my new, especially designed for me sock blockers from Chappy!
What a fun event! Love the photos esp of the one flying around the corner of the cedar tree. Nice custom sock blockers!

LOVED the driving pics. Our trainer back in SLC did a fair amount of driving, as well as chariot racing, in his day. I'm not sure I could deal with all the machinery. I think I'm more a sit-on-the-horse kinda gal. :)

Got quite a good giggle out of that first photo! The socks are really pretty and all that driving looks exciting!
