Bill (trainer) from palmtree land thought it was interesting to wake up to a snowy Spain friday morning. We did not think it was interesting as we are familiar with the poorly prepared roads.. Surprise, surprise, at one point people had to push us up a tiny little slope as car did not want to climb it. We finally arrived to airport to pick up Bonnie that was delayed one day and very happy to see us and finally be here. We started our journey and 2 hours later our brand new rental car broke down in the middle of the highway and between that olive tree and the other. Spirits kept up as both Bonnie and Bill are lovely people and never far away from a laugh. 40 min later we were in taxi and saw there had been a bad accident with 40 cars involved. Got the situation in perspective and realized we preferred our destiny. After m a n y phonecalls by Javier we finally had another car and by the time we arrived to first horse it was dark. The rider had just broken a rib and was in hospital so Bill and I rode the horse that was very supple and super sweet. Bonnie decided to wait until tomorrow and we came back to see clean changes done by broken-rib-macho-wrapped up good rider. Bonnie liked horse and rode him well. She has a very helpful trainer that sees his student well.
We turned back and viewed horses Bill had already seen the day before and two candidates were chosen. This is Bonnies horse if he passes the piro!
Big thanks to Bonnie and Bill for being so positive in all situations, cooperative and fun company!
