It is very tiring showing from home. And this week, the weather is hot. So this will be a short report.
We were up early and I went off to horse show, as Harry went to Augusta to give his quarterly speech to wounded Marines. He is very much affected by these brave men who have met with bad luck. Often, they do keep in touch with him, and he feels a great responsibility to help them as much as he can. So, today was quite tiring for Harry.
The good news is that the jumper schedule has Bart’s classes going early in the day for the final three days. Today, we showed before 10 AM. Susan and Jane were there before the show started and were a big support as I dithered around getting ready. Lou Ann Klump came to cheer us on, and she took a very good picture with her phone camera. Unfortunately, I did not get a picture of any of them!
Bart jumped a clear round over a challenging (to me) track, but had a cheap rail in the jump off, finishing fourth. I rode badly in a couple of places, and Bart jumped really well, bailing us out of trouble, so I felt very fortunate indeed!
Friends Geri and Leslie arrived to watch – too late, but they did get pictures with Bart.
After bathing and packing feet, and enjoying lunch provided by Baskin Farm, Bart returned home and I was reunited briefly with Harry. Then, back to the show to prepare the stall for tomorrow, since start time is an hour earlier for Saturday.
Eddy was a perfect horse show dog, and a joy all day. Home to chores and now to bed.
Be safe, be well, be kind. Slava Ukraini! Peace…
