Didn't spend a lot of time sleeping.

Witnessed a runaway on the junior cart class. The girl was thrown from the cart when it caught a rail guard, was run over on her arm and cut her leg needing almost 40 stitches. V, E, and I where close to it. I had to pick V up and get him out of the way or he would have been hit. But it was not a close call. I saw that horse comeing from 24 feet away and moved FAST! He was scared and crying and people asked if he was ok. He was.

V now has a nickname. Poncho. Feel free to call him that. We do.
