This is the first year in more than a decade that I haven’t been to Upperville...I miss seeing the gorgeous ponies and, of course, horse show food. Nothing like pulled pork and funnel cakes to fuel you.

Highlights from last year: chonky Cleveland Bays, a 2 year old colt who decided to roll mid-class, and getting within 10 feet of McLain Ward.

Despite the many fabulous vendors at Upperville, I restrained myself and came away with this one very responsible purchase. This saddle soap smells AMAZING! I used it on my tack tonight and it worked great, leaving the leather soft without any sticky film.

Spent the day at Upperville Horse and Colt show cheering on (and photographing) my friend Katie and her STUPID CUTE HORSE! Look at his face! His little ears! Ahhh! His name is Frank and he's an absolute doll. Also the whole day reminded me just how much I miss horse shows. Competing, being a groom, heck just being around them. Once Savannah is actually rideable, I am super seriously considering getting back into eventing.

Sunrise Over Oak Springs Meadow - Upperville, Va. by James Carter Via Flickr: UPON LEARNING THAT A TOWN EXISTS IN VIRGINIA CALLED UPPERVILLE In Upperville, the upper crust say "Bottoms Up!" from dawn to dusk and "Ups-a-daisy, dear!" at will I want to live in Upperville. One-upmanship is there the rule, and children learn, at school, "The Rise of Silas Lapham" and why gravitation has been banned. High hamlet, but my mind's eye sees Thy ruddy uplands, lofty trees, Upsurging streams, and towering dogs, There are no valleys, dumps or bogs. Depression never dares intrude upon their sweet upswinging mood; Downcast, long-fallen, let me go to where the cattle never low. I've always known there was a town just right for me; I'll settle down and be uplifted all day long -- Fair Upperville, accept my song. By John Updike (1961)
