Showed in half of two shows, two classes each. Optimus & Diego for riding. Diego for driving. Three solo classes. Had company in the ring for the first riding class.
All The Thanks
To Optimus, & Diego for being stars, and to their families, for sharing their wonderful horses.
To Stepping Stone Farm, as usual.
To the AWTA, for running our winter show season.
Props to the barn that requested a separate driving class for first year drivers. Not us, but we benefited. We were able to enter two people with one horse and cart. No need to haul a second cart. I often do this. With the logistics this year, I would not have been able to. Maybe my class would have happened anyway. Sure was easy this way.

Big props to Coach Courtney for the Masters classes. This was her instigation. I figured I’d just be driving. Partly happy for additional ribbons and bling, of course. Mostly because the Masters class with Optimus at the first show was the most fun I’ve had in the ring in a while. I love horse showing. This is known. I never mind being in the ring. What never? Well, hardly ever. But I digress. The point is that class was a hoot from start to finish.
Outfit of the Day
Or not.
No photos of clothing because I wore the same outfit as earlier in the year. I added the festive plastic clogs due to my foot squashing adventure a few days before. Follow me for more fashion tips. [Annual Outfit of the Day, Playing Footsie]
