Saddle Seat Wednesday
I had a plan. It was a good plan.
The plan was to show less than last year. This year was to be for learning, for letting my budget recover, and for bonding with the home team. [To Show or Not To Show]
The plan did not survive the first horse show.
A long way of saying I am at a show today. To the surprise of no one but me. [ibid]
So, new plan. Last year, ten big shows; this year, five. One more show this month, skip two in April, one in May. Then two in the fall. Plus the summer fun shows. Really, it’s hardly a compromise at all.
We’ll see what happens the first time the trailer heads down the driveway without me.
