Thank you to Courtney Huguley for Super Sam.
Between Milton’s warm-up and classes [Victory!], I reverted to saddle seat.
First Class
Stellar show last time [Show Report]. Lovely lesson the week before. Felt invincible. No one is invincible. We took second. Pffffft. Good thing I don’t take these small shows too seriously (… looks at keyboard … searches for sarcasm emoji …).
Second Class
From the sidelines, Coach Courtney told me to go faster. We picked up the pace. We won. I keep forgetting that saddle seat is not a pastoral lilt. It is a Sousa march played by a New Orleans jazz band.
Thank you for reading,

…. “a Souza march played by a New Orleans jazz band” … perfect definition of saddle seat…. I marched in band in high school, which is probably why this definition hit home with me …
I’m glad it worked. Reaching for a musical analogy is a risk for me. Doing anything musical, really.
