wow - how awful. My older son was on the cross country course when a storm rolled in - we watched as lightening was flashing across the sky and he was still out there - my heart was in my throat - he was half way out when it started and he had to come back - he finished and came in fourth that day - but it was on scary ride for all of us. They had closed the course while he was out on the course.

Wow, that is some intense eventing! Don't know that I would risk my horse's safety (and mine, I guess!) for something like that. As we say here in Oregon, if you don't like the weather, wait 15 minutes and it will change. I think I might have forfeited the opportunity opposed to risking breaking limbs/potentially fatal crashes/etc. Ms. Sally has quite the brave heart, I'd say!

Prospect - glad your son and his horse turned out alright! Lightning is way too much to risk riding in! I've been guilty of jumping up bareback and riding out to the back pasture to watch a storm roll in (complete with lightening), but I don't think I'd event in it ;)
