[RC] WEG 2006 update - appalucieSorry , I haven't written til now, have had a few technical difficulties. Mostly with not having the correct adapter for the electric plugs here in Germany. I brought my multiple country converter,, it didn't work, then went to Walmart.. yes there are Walmarts in Germany, and bought one but that one didn't work either! argh! Think our local Walmart will give me a refund when I get home?
Tonight, I borrowed one from Steph, who is sitting right next to me, and says Hi! So I charged up my lap top and got on the wireless connection here at the Hotel. Ain't technology grand?
This is just to be a short note, wanted everyone to know all of the Horses look great, they shipped well and have settled in well to the barn. A fabulous new facility.. The riders have been riding some of the "official" trail and some of the local trails not included in the competition. All say their horses are going great and the riders look like they are having the best time. All of the riders are upbeat and confident in themselves and their horses.
Valerie Kanavay is keeping all of us corralled for now and Larry Kanavay has worked out the logistics on how we get from one place to another on race day. Today we went out and looked at the "away" Vet check and a few of the "crewing spots". These crewing spots are places where support staff, commonly know as "Road Crew" can offer support to the riders and horses, giving the horses, water, electrolytes , maybe a bite of feed, and providing extra supplies for the riders.
We went to the Belgium border and into the Netherlands to get to those locations.
Ooops, I promised myself I would keep this short. I'll send a more detailed update tomorrow.
Just wanted to let you know how things are going. Lucie
