I might have forgotten to mention that I have a show this morning. My goals are simple: have fun, don't get hurt, and earn scores above 60%.
I'll be in Tehachapi which is a little over an hour away. I ride at 7:58 a.m. so I have to leave the house pretty darn early. Poor Speedy's not going to know what hit him! I am a bit anxious about the early ride time since it will be pretty cool in Tehachapi. Speedy is normally very well behaved at this venue, but the cool morning air might give him some extra energy, hence the don't get hurt goal. This is a CDS show, but I already have my qualifying scores for September's Regional Adult Amateur Competition (RAAC) so I don't feel any pressure to earn a certain score. It's not a USDF show so I can't earn any scores toward my USDF Riding Performance Award. Even though I don't need them, I still want to earn scores over 60% since my mind is now on doing well at RAAC. Wish us well, and I'll let you know how we do.

Have fun, I know you'll do well! It would be awsome if you had someone who could video you! Then I would feel like I was there and cheer you on! XOXO

Sorry, Judy, no video. All my friends either ride later than I do or can't make the trip. I need some video for my own edification! :0)

Score sheets coming, Kelly. I also love to see score sheets and wish more people would post them. They're very helpful, especially when you're way at the bottom like me. :0) 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.
