What can I say? Rolex Kentucky's Three Day Event truly is 'the best weekend all year' and I got to travel to Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington again... this time to see local equestrian Sydney Conley Elliott take on riders from all over the world!

Being the crazy horse lady on the radio, you've probably heard me talk about my upcoming trip to Kentucky to cover local equestrian Sydney Conley Elliott at the Rolex Kentucky Three Day Event later this month. It's no secret that Rolex is an Olympic qualifier for Rio 2016.

In just three short weeks, I'll be in Kentucky for the 'Grand Slam of Eventing,' the Rolex Kentucky Three Day Event, covering local equestrian Sydney Conley Elliott's quest to beat the best in the world!

Local equestrian Sydney Conley Elliott has qualified for this year's Rolex Three Day Event in Kentucky and it's not free to compete, so she's looking to our community for support!

Pony Club was one of the organizations I was involved with as a kid and I have fond memories. Not only does it give horse enthusiasts a chance to fellowship, it teaches horsemanship, stable management and, most of all, responsibility!

American Pharoah beat Firing Line by a length and won the 141st Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Kentucky on Saturday. Dortmund finished third.

We don't know about win or place, but we do know this jockey managed to show.

Big congratulations go out to my friend and trainer, Julie Norman. Not only is she one of the hardest working women in the equestrian world today, she has now qualified for the Rolex Three Day Event in Lexington, KY

For as long as I've been involved in the horse show world of Northwest Louisiana, Katheryn and Bill McFadden have held the K9 Search and Rescue Benefit Show at Holly Hill Farm in Benton, LA Labor Day weekend with the help of their many friends and dedicated volunteers.

I'm a horse person and as I'm sure you've guessed, the news of last week's barn fire at River Point Equestrian Center, near Louisiana Down's where 19 horses perished was heartbreaking.
