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
nervesexcitement 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.

Things My Momma Told Me
Equine Neologism: Heat Frustration
Heat Frustration: When you are brimful of enthusiasm to work with your horses, but it is too hot. All you can do is hose down the horses and leave them to stand under their fans.
Why yes, my pasture-kept lawn ornaments have fans in their run-in shed. Your point?
