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!

I can't tell you how proud I am of our hometown girl facing down Olympians, at an Olympic qualifier for Rio no less, and come home a winner. It's a feat in and of itself to complete Rolex. Not only did Sydney and her trusty mount Cisko A owned by Carol Stephens complete the event, they kicked butt! Right at ninety competitors started the journey and just fifty-four finished. Out of all of those big names, our Sydney finished 37th! Not bad for a Rolex rookie! Now we just have to keep our fingers crossed and hope she impressed the USA Olympic selection committee!
