I just found out that a couple of weeks ago, at the Waterford & Tipperary Showjumping Awards, I received a Senior Rider Award for achievements in 2010. This is the second year in a row, and just as unexpected as the first time (I'm a foreign rider)...
Such a pity I couldn't be there to accept such a lovely gesture. They really are the most wonderfully welcoming people on the Emerald Isle - I see where my grandmother gets it from! Isn't it amazing how one can be so surprised by kindness, speaks volumes about the times in which we live.
There's nothing greater than feeling valued, even in my "little corner of the world". I'm very thankful for that.
