... is of previous Rolex adventures!
Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event, Lexington, KY, 2006-2009.
Something I look forward to every year without fail. Spring doesn't start until Rolex is here. Next year, next year!
(Bonus points: see how many times you can pick out Karen O'Connor. For some reason she ends up in all my photos!)

The size of some of those cross country jumps just makes me completely speechless. WOW. The horses must have wings!
Want to go soo badly! Maybe next year with my sister....
Awesome pictures! I was lucky enough to even be able to find the rolex online this year!! People just don't seem to appreciate the equestrian world like they should :)
That pic of you standing beneath the jump... I never realized they were THAT big. I probably would wet myself approaching it (but the good thing is you can say you just got wet going through the water obstacle!)
Just keep saying.."Someday, someday, someday" and keep praying for a sound horse next year!
The sad this is, I recognized the horse she was riding before Karen...
I know, the immortal Teddy, RIP!!
And Dressager, it's actually an optical illusion ;) It was a set of connected diamonds - those were the wide ends, they jumped the narrow portion in the middle. And it was also a Trakehner so the jump wasn't acually 9479209 miles tall!!
DUDE. Awesome pictures. I went in 2005 for my b-day and absolutely loved it. The dressage was my favorite part, actually...a sign of things to come for my riding "career". I NEVER had even the slightest delusion that I was going to go jump XC fences. I liked jumps that would fall down, and I was even iffy about those once they got bigger than 18".
Love the photos of you and the jumps, too. I have a pic of me standing next to a one of the ginormous squirrel jumps in my dad'd ginormous sweatshirt after we froze all day watching XC.
