Will You Be Attending Rolex This Year?
Who's planning to attend this year's Rolex Kentucky CCI****? Click here to see the entry list and to find out times. Who's your favorite horse? Theodore O'Connor will be sure to have quite a large crowd following him throughout the weekend! Will your favorite rider be competing this year? I have fond memories of getting my picture taken with Karen O'Connor's famous mount Biko when he was retired. What are some of your fondest Rolex memories? Who else is looking forward to checking out all the bargains in the trade fair?! Goodbye tax returns, and hello new tack! Click here to see a list of which vendors will be attending. Be sure to check out the Pony Club Games Challenge on Friday at noon which will hopefully feature some of the top ex-Pony Clubbers such as David and Karen O'Connor, Phillip Dutton, John Williams and more! While you're shopping at the USEA tent (we'll be across from the Main Arena on Sponsor Row) for some exciting new logowear from Mountain Horse, pick up Jimmy Wofford's hilarious new memoir Take a Good Look Around - he'll be available for a booksigning too! Speaking of top riders, if you want to get a lesson on how to ride this impressive course, be sure to attend the Nunn Finer - sponsored course walk, featuring top riders Will Faudree and Bonnie Mosser. The USEA will be recording this walk and posting it on our website, so if you miss out you'll still be able to catch the action. And if you can't make it to Rolex this year, you can still see live web broadcast by NBC Sports of the event for a mere $7.99 for the whole weekend! Also, be sure to tune into NBC for a one-hour special on Sunday, May 6, from 5:00-6:00 p.m. EDT. Hope to see you there! ~Emily
