Shopping Spree

Saddle Seat & Driving – Mostly Driving – Wednesday
Black cargo pants for the stylin’ navigator, ADS rule book, back-up gloves for the driver
Driving apron
Glasses straps for marathon: his, hers, & unisex replacement
Eventing watch for timing on marathon. Pink to match my gloves.

Combined Driving -> Saddle Seat Driving
I was so happy with my pink gloves [New Equipment] that I bought a pair in black for saddle seat. Amazing grip on the nylon work reins.

Saddle Seat Driving -> Combined Driving
Shopping for carriage whips on the combined driving web sites left me with sticker shock. I don’t know which division these are used for, but the tack trailer at a saddle seat show had them for $12.50. I bought two.

Selfie taken to get long-distance approval before buying.

Boop My Nose – Milton

In the spirit of Boop My Nose on Instagram, @boopmynose.

I included Milton’s eyes, which my photo teacher [Meet Meg] tells me is an important part of photographing animals. After doing Rodney’s post [Boop], I noticed that most of the BMN pictures show the animal’s eyes. This may be easier with dogs and cats. Horse walks into a bar. Bartender says, “Why the long face?” Ba-dum ching.

Cindy Sez

… that I am done with my computer work for the evening.
… that I should have finished my post before the storm blew in.
… that it’s a good thing I have a wireless iPad.

But seriously folks, tropical storm Cindy is headed our way. We’ve been having rain for daaaaays. Fortunately, we had enough break in the rain that I could pick up feed (yay!) and Greg’s driving apron from the dry cleaners (the apron, not the feed) this morning. As soon as I got home, boom. Given the rate that trees drop onto power lines around here, I’m staying off my desktop, which is where my images are, where my drafts are, and where I upload from. But enough about me.

To those suffering bad weather &/or flash floods, stay safe.

BTW, horses fine. Pasture a soupy mess. Barn not as bad as it could be. Cross fingers.
