Some of the gang gathered at the Foxhunters' Oasis near the Lexington Bank; generously provided by Erik Koik (bending over cooler) and other members of the Miami Valley (Ohio) Hunt. Erik asked me to point out that the contents of the cooler were purely medicinal: "I mean, we spectated at a tough jump; any one of those riders could have met with a mishap and bygod we were ready." Ready for what, I'm not sure; probably ready to calm their own nerves from the shock of witnessing an accident. It was also suggested that I point out (in case there was any doubt) that most of the folks in the picture are some form of Internet Equestrians , i.e subscribers to one or more of the Foxhunters , Eventers-L , Equine-L , or Rolex email lists. That's how we knew Erik and gang would have cold be....er... medicine waiting for us. I suppose if I wanted to, I could even include everybody's names ... but it's more fun to make you guess ... if you'd been there, you'd know ..nyah nyah.
