I spent the whole day moving from the sunshine to the cool of Speedy's stall, and just as I started my warm up, it started to get foggy. The foggy mist eventually turned into a down pour. I managed to finish my second ride just as the mist turned into real rain. I raced Speedy back to his stall where I stripped his tack and shoved all of my junk under the overhang. So when did the singing start? Oh that? Just about the time I saw my scores. Let's just say that one of them was a RAAC qualifying score which was one of my four goals for the show! I still have tomorrow to earn the other score. I am also doing well on my first two goals - have fun, check! Speedy enjoying himself? Friday night I would have said nope, but he was much happier as the day went on so ... check! Nervous stallion wouldn't calm down so the owner took him home. I was relieved. More on my tests and the scores when I am home from the show. 
Braid done. Just waiting to saddle.

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.
