Looks Can Be Deceiving!

3/21/2014

Have you all seen this yet? It's really quite amazing, especially if you've seen War Horse in person. We saw it in Los Angeles in July 2012 and loved every minute.

We're heading to the cabin this weekend, so you won't hear from me again until Monday. Enjoy your own weekend!

This is coming to Austin in May and I definitely need to get tickets. Just debating for cheap ones vs fancy ones!

We had "okay" tickets (mezzanine), they were the best available, and we didn't feel as though we missed out on a thing. You'll love it no matter where you sit!

I remember! And even though I didn't get to see it in London (sold out), seeing it in LA was just fine. :0)

About the
Writer & Rider

I am a lifetime rider.
I began endurance riding in 1996 where I ultimately completed five, one-day 100 mile races, the 200-mile Death Valley Encounter, and numerous other 50, 65, and 75 mile races. I began showing dressage in 2010.
Welcome to my dressage journey.
