Being at the 2010 World Equestrian Games was amazing. \u00a0The horses were incredible and the riders were so talented! \u00a0I performed twice a day, but every spare minute I went to see events or schoolig. \u00a0The events were all ticketed, but many did not sell out. \u00a0If you were a had credentials to participateat the games they \u00a0allowed you to go to any event. \u00a0If I wasn’t performing I was checking out what ever event was going on. \u00a0I saw every phase of the show jumping. \u00a0This was my favorite. \u00a0The jumps were absolutely beautiful. \u00a0Every night …the jumps got bigger. \u00a0It was a very big flowing forward course. \u00a0We all picked our favorite horse on the first night. \u00a0I couldn’t believe it, the horse my mom picked was clean going into one of the last rounds of the competition. \u00a0When the riders switched mounts, her horse had a rail. \u00a0She said she picked him the first night, because he made it look so easy. \u00a0I was suprised at the variety of horses in the competitions. \u00a0I watched a lot of daily schooling as well, trying to visualize what the perfect jumper should look like, how they should be built. \u00a0There were big horses, small horses, light horses and heavy horses. \u00a0It was difficult to “identify” \u00a0a standard, because every one was pretty different….short legs, long legs, waspy and very muscular. \u00a0It was such a cool thing being at the games! \u00a0I hope one day that I am a competitor in the games! \u00a0Dream Big! \u00a0Why not…..after all Toby was a world games special edition Breyer model…..who would ever ever guessed this would be possible ! \u00a0He is living proof, that anything is possible! \u00a0 Lizzy<\/p>\n
