Recommended Read

Instead of an article, I thought I post a video of some inspirational riding this Monday.  This is Bruce Davidson Sr. who looked no the worse for the wear after his visit to the hospital after a fall off a young horse a few weeks ago.  Bruce was the highest placed rider in the World FEI rankings in 1993 and 1995, and he was named the USEA leading rider every year from 1980 to 1995.  This is one of North America's eventing greats and always a pleasure to watch!

This video is from the Derby Cross in Wellington, Florida this past weekend.  It is run in a similar format to Indoor Eventing at the Royal Winter Fair except it is a team event, with each team consisting of three event riders, one jumper rider and one polo player!  More details are available on the Derby Cross website.
