While attending the World Equestrian Games, as a volunteer-blogger for the National Sport Office, Jill was surprised that about half her informal, verbal survey results indicated that 50% of attendees were local, but NOT horse people.
No wonder it seemed so different from when they were held on European soil...

It was amazing to see what was happening around the world. When 20% of a population have a cell phone a dictatorship can no longer exist! Jill was thinking of getting on board.

Jill did not want the group lesson exception the woman was willing to try and arrange for her. She graciously declined.
Obviously long gone were the days when Jill would get PAID to ride. Two different winters in the last few had been spent with Olympians, hours and hours of exciting, challenging and valuable training rides. One season in sunny warm Florida and one season in snowy, hilly, amazing Ontario. Jill missed that kind of opportunity more than she could begin to express. Priceless access and pay.
