The Unaccompanied Rider

If I wash one more pair of breeches and find a hairnet stuck to the Velcro I’m going to lose my mind!

I have rooms available at the Eau next weekend for $555.00 a night. DM me if you are interested.

Best travel deal yet. For WIHS The Monaco for $187.00 per night including tax!!! No, I'm not kidding. The structure was built in 1839 and Kimpton has put their classic, yet funky touches everywhere. It is just across the street from the Capital One arena. The rooms are very large and the restaurant, The Dirty Habit was good (after you get past the subtle S*M theme). Parking was about $53.00 a night. Of course we had a goldfish delivered to the room! This may be the best deal I've ever been able to find!

$150 to replace a busted zipper on a Samshield America backpack. 😡😡

90% off sale today only on Spirit Airlines. (no frills...like NO FRILLS) Laguardia to Fort Lauderdale round trip including tax $86.43 per person!! use code 90PCT. Spirit is not comfortable and they upcharge for everything but that is one good fare!

New England Equitation Finals hotel deal. The Clarion Hotel and Aqua Lagoon Waterpark. $110.00 including tax. 11 minutes drive to the horse show. Ask for a room towards the front of the hotel because parking lot in the back is a little dark. Lobby and staff were great. Rooms were fine. The walls were a little bare but the rooms were clean and comfortable. In a pretty good area as there were a lot of stores and restaurants within a 5 minutes drive. The real selling point of this hotel was the indoor pool area. Enormous area with a giant pool and super fun slides and a cute splash pad. There is a bar overlooking the area for parents that want to have their own fun. Walls were a little thin so you could hear if someone was talking in the hallway but everything was quiet by 9pm. Good value and after my kid saw the pool area, will be the only option for a hotel in this area going forward :)

PNHS hotel deal. The Quality Inn Harrisburg Hershey. The rate was so low that even I was dreading what I would find. Crazy room rate of $37.00 including tax! The hotel was just off a main road with stores, chain restaurants. Free parking, wifi and hot breakfast. Nothing fancy but a waffle machine, scrambled eggs and sausage, fresh coffee, cereal, bagels etc. Staff was super friendly. Lobby, elevators, and rooms were a bit dated, but everything was clean and in working order. I also loved that there were tons of great pillows on the beds. And the best part....a 9 minute drive to the horse show! Great deal, friendly staff, clean room, close to the show. It was a winner in my book!

I love luxury hotels as much as the next gal, but sometimes with all of the horse show costs, I like to save a buck. Since I'm the horse show mom travel expert, I will share some of my great finds near various shows. Let me know if you need help finding a deal!

Secret Mission: The Horse Soldiers of 9-11

I don't recall hearing about this. Amazing men and incredible animals.

Secret Mission: The Horse Soldiers of 9-11 It was the news the world breathlessly waited for immediately after the 9/11 terror attacks: a report of the first American troops on the ground in Afghanistan. All at once the world’s attention focused on an iconic photo of those Special Operations Forces doing something no American military had do...

This is the first morning I can feel fall approaching. Soon I will get a break from chasing kids around the show with cold waters and sunscreen. 🐴🌞

Remember to get your Harrisburg entries in. Deadline is today!

It's not too early to start thinking about your travel plans for indoors and WEF this winter. Don't get stuck on pony island all day!!
