whiskey for my men, beer for my horses.....
Back from the horse show and back to work. Bla.
The weather this weekend was absolutely amazing. The temperature was perfect, it was sunny, nice breeze....it was so lovely. Both of my mares were incredible. I showed Maizy in 2 classes on Saturday and Parmantha in one. Maizy won the first class and Parmantha was 9th...she was really good, but when I was 2 strides away from one of the fences, 2 of the potted cedars blew over and fell in front of the fence. I had to stop and they had to fix them. Obviously, it was unfair, but....there is nothing they can do. We told the steward and basically they told us: "that sucks". Oh well...at least she was good. Half of my class didn't even make it around the course. Maizy was great in the second class, but I was an idiot. Only 3 of us made it to the jump off....and I was being an idiot because Ben Meredith was watching me (I LOVE HIM) and it made me super nervous...so I circled....but I was still 3rd. The next day, I showed P in one of the adult classes and was double clean- she was outstanding...and I was 2nd. Both mares were incredible in the classic. Maizy won the classic by like 3.5 seconds and I had 4 faults with P in the first round and was 5th. There were 3 classics that day- all the same course. My classic was last...the fastest time for the entire day was 30.54 seconds. I was 27.2. Maizy wound up being champion of the adult jumpers by just doing 2 classes.....she was fab. I won over $1,000 which was really nice- so I paid for the entire horse show (hotels, trainer, trailering, food, gas, classes, etc)
here- you can look at my results: http://horseshowsonline.com/HSSNet/ShowIntro.asp
Horseshowsonline.com also has my results from Upperville Colt and Horse Show (where I won all 3 classes), Loudoun Benefit (where I won all 3 classes, and Lexington Spring Premiere (I think I was 1st, 1st and 2nd).
Tonight I have a dinner date with drew. We'll see how that goes.
ok....back to work...BLAAAA.
