Now it can be said. I did not enjoy being responsible for someone’s child. It was the same feeling as when I used to drive my grandmother to doctor’s appointments. Of course I was worried about my grandmother coming to harm. I was even more worried about what the family would do to me if harm befell her on my watch.

This was unexpected. I drove the young lady to a show last year [Show Tweets]. I guess back then I was too caught up with Matilda to have time for imaginary woes [Show Report].

What I Learned This Weekend

  • A base level of nerves excitement is unavoidable.
  • Acknowledging that I can be competent and incompetent at the same time [Show Today], keeps the butterflies flying in formation (Wofford).
  • I can maintain peak intensity for one class in a weekend.
  • I need to get my sorry ass to the gym.
  • A one-day show can be achieved on enthusiasm. Multi-day showing requires food, sleep, and good shoes.
  • There is no point to looking ahead for a hot-shot maneuver if I forget about what the horse and I are doing at the moment.
  • Don’t be boring.
