This was Monday. I began tweeting on Friday & drove up for Saturday.
Let the show tweets begin. 6 in my class. Biggest since Nationals.

Attempting to focus on the opportunity to a) ride a wonderful horse & b) improve my game time decision skills.

Not focus on other competitors or judge's placings, which are out of my control.

Mine! Mine! All the blue ribbons are mine!

So sorry. Last tweet slipped out before I could stop it. Reimposing grown-up mindset.

Trying to imagine my Twitter steam if I were getting ready to show Rodney. #incoherence

Sitting with Rodney during heat therapy. Hence the chatty.

Seriously. I take my phone into the grocery store, look up the UPHA post, and use the photo as reference. Can’t figure out of this makes me organized or obsessive.
Successful test of show vest. Can't say that it fits yet, but at least it buttons.

1:15. Too excited to sleep. This is RIDICULOUS. I have been showing horses for 40+ years. Perspective where art thou?

Good morning & wheels up. It was a quick up & out in the wee somewhat small hours.

Waiting for us to be brilliant. Please note all the horses face the same direction, except the split classes to distinguish them. OCD? Moi?

So enchanted with my own prose that I forgot to attach the photo. pic.twitter.com/AMrdY3KICE

Dressed, buttoned , & zipped. Wool pants in summer. Who thought that was a good idea?

2 & 3 of 6. Did what I came to do. Coach happy. Assistant coach smiling instead of yelling. Bonus.

Sam in victory pass with 9-10WT rider. 2 of his 3 riders take blue. Fortunately, I am so enlightened, I rise above being bothered by this.

And we're done. Staying ringside to make noise for the exceptional class.

Katy's Katfish for lunch. On the list of 100 dishes to eat in AL.

Hanging around to watch evening classes & then escort the first load of horses home. Gonna be a late night.
— Rodney's Saga (@RodneysSaga) May 24, 2014
Hurry up & wait. Universal horse show truth regardless of discipline.

Heading homeward. Finally.

Home safe.

20 hours start to return.
Sheesh! What a long day. What did you have at Katy’s?
Hush puppies. Fried catfish & chicken fingers. Caramel pie. Deep-fried heaven.
