Yep. We're off to another show (CDS-rated). This is number 6 for the calendar year, but number 8 for the CDS show season. And two of them were two-day shows. We've been busy! We're on our way to Tehachapi. It won't take us too long to get there as it's only about 55 miles. I spent Saturday cleaning tack, loading the trailer, and bathing Speedy. I did a very nice job braiding his forelock and wanted to show it to you, but Speedy was being very uncooperative. In any case, here are a couple of pictures that I did manage to snap. 
He really was wide awake - not sure why he looks so sleepy.
Ignore the furry ears - I like the fly protection.
So ... wish us luck: no tire blowouts, no getting bucked off, no off course errors (real or imagined), and no scores under 60%. That last one's a biggie so you might have to wish really hard. See you tomorrow!

Thank you, Judy. We traveled safely, arrived home in one piece, and even did a nice job. :0)

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.
