This is our second-to-the-last show for 2011. I've already sent in my entry for the local MARE show, a one-star event, being held on November 12. I am looking forward to that show because it's on the Saturday of a three-day weekend. Although I know it's not a holiday for everyone, I have Veteran's Day off. Shows are much easier when there is an extra day off to prepare or an extra day to recover.
There is a schooling show up north in December, Toys for Tots, but I've decided that a winter show so far from home isn't fun. I went last year with Taz's mom, and while it was fun, we had to leave the barn before dawn and then battled wet windy, weather the whole day. I think I'll skip it this year. Today Speedy G and I are heading two and a half hours north to Clovis for a three-star dressage show, Dressage in the Valley III. I am still competing Intro B & C, but I really think this will be our last Intro B class. I think we're ready for Intro C and Training Level 1. If we can just get a buck free canter that is also fairly connected, I'll be thrilled. Please wish us well. I am really keeping focused on earning that 65%! |
About the Writer and RiderI am a lifelong rider.
I began endurance riding in 1996 where I ultimately completed five, one-day 100 mile races, the 200-mile Death Valley Encounter, and numerous other 50, 65, and 75 mile races. I began showing dressage in 2010. Welcome to my dressage journey.
