Not-So-Speedy Dressage
From Endurance to Dressage
I took some time last weekend to give my truck and trailer some TLC. You saw a photo the other day of my very dirty truck. First up, I took Blue Truck into town for fuel and a wash. Then I fueled-up the generator and gave the living quarters a thorough vacuum and wipe down. While I hauled Sydney to several lessons and shows in August and September, I haven't camped in the trailer since July. It was pretty dusty. Worse were the dead flies that always accumulate near the bed. Yuck! After the floor and other surfaces were clean, I fired up the stove top (no explosions this time) and did a few other system checks. Thankfully, everything seems to be in good working order. I also filled my traveling hay bag as well as my bale bag and feed bin.
I wanted to be fully prepared for the Susanne von Dietze Clinic.

looks good and it's always nice to stay after cleaning. I'm in the process of putting snap in flooring in my RV. The material is a vinal laminate that looks like wood but is actually a vinal. It will realy help as it's easy to sweep unlike the horrible carpet that's in it now. ots of love to you. Oh and I look forward to hearing about your clinic! Comments are closed.
