It's a well kept secret that the best day to be at this event is the day before it starts. Some of the best horsemen in the world are performing a dress rehearsal for tomorrow's opening ceremony which will include Chris Cox, Pat Parelli, Clinton Anderson, Richard Winters, & Stacy Westfall. There are just a handful of spectators watching as opposed to the six thousand that are expected here tomorrow. The clinicians are accessible and the atmosphere is relaxed. What a great way to kick off the weekend. The opening ceremonies are tomorrow afternoon and the competitors will give short clinics for the audience. The actual colt starting won't begin until Saturday evening after the participants choose their horses. Chris is relaxed and looking forward to the event. I'll keep you all updated over the next few days.
On a separate note, Dr Robert Miller DVM, a judge for this competition, suffered a massive stroke here in Nashville yesterday. He was in surgery today. Please send good thoughts his way.
