Entry in the Mail

This is just a schooling show, but the form is just as tedious!

I don't want to jinx myself, but my third attempt at making a show this season is sitting on the counter, ready to be dropped into the morning mail.  If it rains at this show, I'll know the gods are sending me some type of message.  If they are sending me a message, I wish they'd be just a bit clearer about what they're trying to tell me.  It would also be helpful if the message came at least several days BEFORE the show rather than the morning OF the show ...  Or at least before I've spent ninety bucks filling up my truck. 

Here's the barely-made-it and attempted-to-go list:

Toys for Tots (Clovis) in December - rain, but not cancelled.
Holiday Dressage (Somis) in December - rain, cancelled.
Symphony Dressage (Moorpark) in March - rain, cancelled.
Rancho Royale (Oak View/Ojai) in April - please don't rain!

This was not what I was planning to write about today, but I need some help in praying to the weather gods for pleasant weather on the 10th of April.  Any help would be appreciated.

And since I am on the subject of showing, how many of you go to shows by yourselves?  I don't really know who reads this blog, so I might not know you.  And I have a lot of questions for you.  I WANT to know you!  Since I live in a VERY non-dressagey community, I only know how I am approaching dressage, but I would sure like to know what other people do. 

If you see me at a show, please say hi.  I am really looking forward to meeting other dressage riders.
