My trip to San Jose was along one. With the time difference, I was pretty exhausted by the time I got back. My plane stopped in LA and then I got on a smaller plane with about 50 people to fly to San Jose. Flying along to coastline was very beautiful. On the way back, we stopped in Denver. So now I can say I’ve been there!

The Horse Park at Woodside was lovely. It was in the mountains, but the track was dirt and quite dusty. My toes were black by the end of the day.

The quality of riding was quite good. They had through Intermediate, but I only saw training-beginner novice. It was fun to see a eventing in a different part of the country.
