Today has been an exhausting and exhilarating end to two weeks of horse showing. Possibly, the end of horse showing for this old lady, too, but I have thought that before, and here we are!
The Maclay Regional Equitation class started the day at 7:30 Am, and the jumper ring began at 8:30. Still, not wanting to be in a rush, I left here at 6 AM. The dawn was beautiful.
Bart was a happy traveler, and settled right in. When it was time to show, he rose to the occasion. The course was challenging, but rode really well, and Bart jumped around impeccably, double clear, despite a few old lady slowdown rides. He finished 4th in the $5,000 Classic, so he more than paid his way this week! What fun it is to have such a horse! And such a friend as Jane, who videos and helped me pack up the trailer after all was finished.
Lynda and Brett came to cheer us on. Harry and Weedy, too, of course, but after a long wait for Bart to get to the ring, Harry took the dogs home as soon as we were double clear.
Exciting Dog Of The Day news! Our friend, Janis Collette’s, Tipper, was Dog Of The Day today!
Weedy makes appearances at the show, but he was somehow overlooked. Maybe next year…
That’s all for now.
Be safe, be well, be grateful, be kind. Slava Ukraini! Peace…
