Well I have a team back around me. Liz and Jade are here at Aachen, Ninja and I are settled in too.
Just so we are clear, Aachen is as big and tasteful and fun and spectacular as they say. It is accessible to every one and so far I have seen world class show jumpers, dressage, soldiers with Princess Mary, reining, eventers, and all sorts of other horses and riders I can't even identify.
The stadium takes 7000 people. Tomorrow we trot up then Friday is dressage and showjumping, then Saturday is the cross country.
Should be a welcome anti climax when I get home.
