    After the late night dressage we all slept in yesterday morning… I think I’m becoming nocturnal except for the fact that I’m not actually sleeping all day. SO what do you call something that doesn’t sleep at all? Whatever it is, that’s us. I went on a completely futile trip to the venue yesterday morning...
