| 3 of the 4 suitemates. Teegan, on the left, got married. After college, she rode with the Tempel Lippizzans for 3 years, and she continues to ride for her longtime trainer, Mario Contreras. |

It was a fantastic wedding, with the officiant mentioning her horse in the ceremony (As in, "You both need to learn to make sacrifices in marriage - Teegan, I know you love Hanna, but sometimes you'll have to step away from the barn and spend some time with Steve"), and her dog on a lead rope at the reception.
I also got to hang out with Connor's Aunt Mary, and when we carpooled from where I was staying to the reception, she had to move some of her "inventory" out of her car into mine to make room for me to sit:

| 5, 10, 15, 20, 25...thousand dollars. |
And that's how I ended up with three CWD Dressage saddles in my car for five hours on Saturday:
Sadly, I had to give them back.
Nick ended up having to work all weekend, so I brought Nick and I's friend up with me and played matchmaker with him and Mary. They really hit it off, and when we stopped on the way home yesterday to take Connor's blanket off, he asked me to take a picture of him with Connor so he could text it to her, with the caption, "Am I doing this right?"
 |
| Oh my gosh, yes, yes you're doing it right! Cutest thing ever! Or, as Nick said, "That dude has some serious game." |
It was a good weekend!
Big burly man + small adorable pony is too cute!! Sounds like a great weekend
ReplyDeleteYou couldn't even sneak away one of the saddles? Sad face.
ReplyDeleteUgh I know it's killing me. I can't buy any other brand now that my best friend works for them, but I also can't take out a loan for a saddle so...haha.
DeleteI will have a 2g one day. I have no idea how, because the most I've EVER spent on a saddle is like.... $900? And yeah. Not going to get a CWD of any stripe for that.
DeleteLove love love my CWD! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds Iike a blast and what a cute pic with Connor.
Someday I will too! :) Those monoflap Dressage saddles in my car were so LIGHT. Want want want. I did get a CWD hat this weekend, I guess that's step one.
