Not-So-Speedy Dressage
From Endurance to Dressage
Today marks my first workday of 2019. Bummer, but it pays the bills. Since Friday, my brain has been trying to remind my body of what 4:45 a.m. feels like. I started waking up at godawful times only to remember that it wasn't yet Monday. Gratefully, I was able to roll over and head back to sleep. Not this morning. I can hear Speedy laughing from here. All right already; I am up!

Today was the first day back for J as well, and I suffered his absence terribly - I'd gotten used to him being here the last 2 weeks. We watched a lot, a lot of TV. A show called Numbers with the guy from Northern Exposure. And Knight Rider. We indulged ourselves every day on the couch by the blue glow of my Christmas tree. Now he's out in his office working, correcting papers and helping plan the next High School musical, I believe they're doing another Grimm production. Comments are closed.

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. About Speedy GSpeedy went from endurance horse to dressage horse.
