Derby time!

Day 1
pack up and drive to Twin Rivers Ranch in Paso Robles
set-up camp, bathe horses, walk your x-country course, feed horses, eat dinner, feed horses again, walk horses, sleep

Day 2
up at the crack of dawn
get your show clothes on and start braiding that mane! (good thing your groom is a pro), tack and head down to the warm-up arena
intro derby dressage test
back to stall to change clothes and tack
walk your jumping course
head to the warm-up arena
JUMP!

cool off and head home.

we spent thursday and friday of this week doing just that. k has been working towards this for over a year now, and it was quite a thrill. she did amazing for a first go. great dressage test. clean stadium jumping, then came out of the water at the wrong spot and got off course for a moment and took an unassigned jump before realizing what was happening and getting the pony back on track to a strong, beautiful finish. she had her friend and mentor (ty and her new horse ember) at her side - and her super-groom sister keeping her calm and making sure everything was just right.

she can't wait to do this again.

Mission Pacific

starting to realize if you can't find me on the weekend, its because I'm with one of the girls at a horseshoe...

(and that this has become much less of a place for me to write down my thoughts / concerns / complaints / dreams and much more of a photo album. and I'm good with that.)
