Saturday September 14, 2002: Out on Cross Country

Costa Ballena Golf resortTaking a break from "Dry-sage", the Horsesdaily/Eurodressage alliance ventured on the cross country course of Garrapillos Cavalery School in La Barca de la Florida, Spain, for one day of sun, fun and excitement in the most thrilling segment, the cross country, of the multidisciplined equestrian sport.

Sharing a cosy apartment in Costa Ballena, Mary, JJ and I have learnt to work in shifts when it comes to sharing the bathroom. The first wake up call rang (my Nokia cell phone alarm clock) for Mary at 5 AM. Fortunately, I snoozed until 6 AM and then showered and dressed in a hurry. We had agreed to join up with Sean Hamilton at 7 AM at the car, as she knew the way to Garrapillos. Yeah right, ej....

Pretty soon it became obvious that friend Sean had forgotten the correct route to La Barca de la Florida, as we got stuck on a toll way to Sevilla with no turning point for 20 miles. Desperate to make it on time for the cross country, we sped back to Jerez and followed the reliable signage to Garrapillos instead of Sean.
