I traveled to florida with two other horse-forumites to audit the george morris and bates horse mastership clinic, it was amazing!
we saw 8 of the best junior equitation and jumper riders in the country ride with Robert Dover, Ann Kursinski, Laura Kraut, Beezie Madden, and McLain Ward, one day with each. We also heard lectures from an animal behaviorist, the olympic team veterinarian, a chiro/acupunture vet, and others. I took notes if anyone is interested.
They rode some amazing horses and showed off their talents well, as well as their faults which made us feel better haha.
Not only were we able to watch this great clinic, but we also saw some of the show that was going on at the same time at the Palm Beach international equestrian center (or something like that) which makes the PG equestrian center look like somebody's back yard...close to 20 arenas, and the horses were like another species, they were so nice.
I took about a million pictures while we were there. THey are uploading here:

Can't wait to see the pictures from day 2 thru 5. I sure do miss that awesome weather down in Wellington. 
My Mom wants to come next year. It was killing her when I would call to tell her about all the neat things we were seeing and hearing.
It was actually an ugly day here too, rainy and high of only 56. On Friday I hear it might not make it to 50! Brrrr. I bet your forecast is worse. Wellington is probably good. I may have to move further South!
The high here on Friday is only 48 degrees!! It hasn't been that low since 1925! BRRRR
