The actual 9/11 (in 2001) happened during the St. Louis National Charity Horse Show that year. There were television sets at the in gates, but the show went on. It was a frightening and dreadful day. These are frightening and dreadful times now. The horse world and the shows go on, but we are all disturbed.
No showing for us today, as Fred came to reset Bart’s shoes. It was hot shoeing indeed!
Derry and Oisin were shod, too, of course, but I have little time to blog tonight. The schedule tomorrow (and Saturday and Sunday, too) is early for the 1 meter jumpers. I will be wandering out into the pasture at 5 AM in search of Bart.
As always, Eddy is loved – we stopped over to the show to check on the schedule and make sure Bart’s stall is ready. Lee Ann in the office put Eddy through his paces and fed him delicious Savannah’s treats!
Harry has a difficult day ahead tomorrow, but he is always more chill than I am!
Bart advises we all stay hydrated, since we are in for a hot spell of weather for most of September.
Be safe, be well, be kind, and stay hydrated. Slava Ukraini! Peace…
