Yesterday was so much fun. I have always loved horses and would find myself mesmerized by show jumping on TV whenever I came across it. We got some free tickets to Spruce Meadows and decided to go. It was really fun and cool and I want to go again and again. Okay you get the point. Spruce Meadows is not just all show jumping they have a dog trick area and pony rides and wagon rides (all free with admission). They also have more than one riding arena and a marketplace to walk around and a museum with different exhibits. Needless to say I would and plan to go back again. By the way rush tickets which were still really great seats were only $5 an adult or $10 for a car I think is what the sign said (parking included in the price).
We were there to see the CN National show and it was great. Ian Miller won in remarkable style. Few rider/horse teams went clear both rounds and I think his jump off time was like 40 seconds which is amazing. Ben and Joe had fun too. Kaleb was just there to look cute. One of the times when Ben saw a horse jump he said "AMAZING" all long and drawn out. Ben said the horses were knocking down their toys and making a mess when they knocked down rails.
Oh yeah and Ian Miller said "Hey" to Joe as they passed in the washroom. Totally jealous.
