Awareness of the outside world. Rolex XC is today. How times have changed. First off, it is now the Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event. I have not been since 2010. New title. Show jumping. Tailgating. I wonder if I would find the Horse Park changed out of recognition or would it still be the old Rolex underneath? As for the competition. Movable fences. Skinny jumps. Warmbloods. If when if when I get back to eventing, I wonder how much of it I will recognize. Ditto journalism. Social medial. Live streams. Podcasts. Would I recognize the press tent? None of this is good or bad. It just is. [Peregrinatio in Stabilitate]
