1,218

For once, I have a great show recap and more pictures of me sitting on my horse than I know what to do with (1,218 pictures, to be exact, it's a miracle!) and I have absolutely zero time in which to write about it thanks to work!  I'm hoping to blog about it on the plane to Vegas on Friday evening.

(Side note: are there any bloggers in Vegas?  I'm there for work all next week.  There's a tack shop there that appears to be the only stateside tack store that carries the CWD conditioner right now, you can bet I'll be making an appearance there, but it would be great to do it with another blogger!)

In summary, though: I went in to my first rated with no expectations and came out with the score I needed for ride offs, both of my First Level bronze scores, and a shiny, shiny horse.

So shiny, all thanks to supergroom Mary.

But we don't take ourselves THAT seriously.

Mary's method of getting Connor from the barn where we park our trailers to Connor's barn had everyone laughing hysterically.  Yes, he's still braided, yes, she rode a quarter mile down the street like that, and yes, those boots are fabulous.

Catch you all on Friday!

    OH YAY VEGAS!! Haha I like like 11 hours away. BUT THAT'S CLOSER THAN NORMAL.

    Are you going to WC Equestrian? It maybe less like candyland if you live near good tack stores, but I'm from Idaho and I showed up during a big spring sale, so I thought it was amazing. Have fun!

      Yes! That's the one. I live near ZERO tack stores, so I expect it to be amazing. Yay for being...slightly closer to you. Haha. Unfortunately I don't think work will ever have need to send me to Idaho like it does the Bay Area. Rolex!!

      No one goes to Idaho. It's part of the charm.

      Btw pay close attention to the navigation getting to WC. Mine dropped me at the front of a furniture store and I thought I was lost. You have to go all the way back through the complex to where you can see the freeway. It's right there.
