Nothing big. Nothing fancy. Just wanted to let you know that we, yes, there's a we this time, are heading to the Regional Adult Amateur Competition and El Sueno Championship Show. If you'll remember from yesterday, my mom is here with me to keep me company.
We spent Thursday packing the trailer and cleaning up Speedy. Mom also sat in the shade and watched me school both boys. She spent my entire saddle time oohing and aahing over how beautiful Speedy is and how lovely I ride. I gave her a few, aw shucks, Mom. But you know I was grinning from ear to ear. We'll be on the road by 8:00 a.m., and if traffic permits, we should pull in by 11:00, just in time to unload and have lunch. Both of my Saturday rides are in the 9:00 - 10:00 range which gives me all afternoon to watch. Hilda Gurney will be riding Wintersnow, which will be a treat to watch. On Sunday, I ride in the morning and then late in the day. The Honor Round and Awards Ceremony don't start until somewhere around 4:30 so we won't get home until rather late on Sunday evening. Wish us well; I really need some good juju right now! Have a great weekend.

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.
