Last weekend, the barn began the show season. WITHOUT ME. They all had a grand time. WITHOUT ME. Ribbons were won. WITHOUT ME.
I was aided in surviving this tragedy by regular updates on the SSF Facebook page. Particularly since I went to the show last year [Report] and could recognize the backdrop of the photos.

I deeply appreciate the effort that went into keeping us stay-at-homes updated. Even with a cell phone camera, it takes time. Recognize a photo op. Halt the horse show machinery. Snap photo. Type a quick caption. Upload. Resume forward progress.
I found out how much of an interruption updates can be from tweeting horse shows. I yap incessantly the night before and the morning of. As soon as competition starts, radio silence.

why without you?
Since I’m not doing all the shows this year, my instructor rx that I emphasize shows with higher year-end points. Was planning on skipping this one from the beginning.
Hope you win lots of stuff!
