Behind the Inhaler Pt. 4

I'm writing my fourth response on Wednesday night as apposed to Friday since I'll be in Lexington all weekend.

Why will I be in Lexington? Thanks for wondering!

To answer your question I will be in Lexington, KY because the World Equestrian Games are going on as you read! What are the WEG's? The WEG's are in a sense the Olympics of the equine world (Dressage, show jumping, and cross country are also in the Olympics).

The Blue Grass state has built a brand new multimillion dollar facility just for this event! People from all around the world will be attending, competing, and reporting on this event.  This is the first time in the history of the WEG's that they are being held outside of Europe (look at that I'll be a part of history)!

Let's go team U.S.A.!

Roman Emperor Hadrian once said "brick by brick. my citizens, brick by brick." Tom Robinson was convicted of rape which was really no surprise. What was a surprise however is how long it took for the jury to come up with there decision. The jury took hours to come up with a decision leading us to believe that there were discrepancies amongst them. Which was one step, or brick, closer to a world where a white mans word would be equal to that of a black mans.

This particular quote by Hadrian is one of my favorites because it can relate to most life themes. I quote it often and was more excited than I should have been to make the connection between the quote and what Atticus considered to be a different kind of win.

I guess you could say that brick by brick, I am getting closer to my departure for Kentucky (this really is a big deal to me...it's just like the World Cup this past summer).

Or that brick by brick, I am getting closer to ending this blog and will be forced to study even though I've been trying my hardest to procrastinate.

What I will be watching at the WEG's

This is Peter(AKA Headliner). He is your stereotypical thoroughbred.  As you can see the camera has caught his attention. About two milliseconds after this was taken Peter decided to headbutt me. He had determining that  the camera was in fact a killing machine.

This picture is five years old (holy cow). I'm riding Edward (AKA Deluxe Edition). You'd never guess by looking at him but this massive gelding is a Quarter Horse. This horse was not named after any Twilight character let me make this very clear to you. I am so sick of people asking if I named a horse after a fictional sparkling vampire. Edward has been alive since before Stephenie Meyer could determine the differences between 'to,' 'two,' and 'too.'

Have a nice weekend everybody!
