Mini Update ...

Well ... no show times posted.  Is this normal for most dressage shows?  Again, my showing experience is limited to last year's Tehachapi shows and two shows in Clovis.  The last two other shows that I've tried to attend have been canceled due to weather, and one of those posted the times on Thursday.

What is normal?  I am not really complaining about it.  Okay, yes, I am complaining, but it's because I like to REALLY plan.  I like to rehearse and practice every detail of show day.  That means picturing what time I'll get up in the morning to the time I need to be finished warming up.  I know it sounds ... nit-picky, but it helps me to relax and feel some confidence.

Any advice?  Get over it already?  This is very normal?  Pleeeeeese post the ride times soooooon!

In the meantime ... in between wind gusts and downpours I had a really nice bareback ride on Speedy G tonight.  We are totally ROCKING the free walk!  It sounds slightly lame to brag about walking when I've just gotten excited about a local rider achieving CHAMPION level with her Horse of the Year, but we all have to start somewhere, and for us ... that's the free walk. So I'll say it again ... We Rocked the Free Walk!
