Hi All, It's been a while since I posted my blog. We went to the show at Indio this past weekend. We pretty much got a complete sand blasting facial while we were there. We were laughing that people pay big money for that and we got it for free. (Probably much nicer in the doctor's office, ha ha). We all were joking that by Friday evening we had sand in places we didnt even know existed. UGH!! The winds were really really bad. I laughed at Graham as we were driving up and said , as we saw about 2500 wind turbines (windmills that make electricity), "that should have been our first clue it is windy here". Lots of horses went from the barn and some it was their first time out. Tango debuted at 4th level. He did pretty good considering he hasnt been anywhere for a while. He was a bit tired though and I had my hands full keeping him up in front. He did not disappoint us in the moments when he was spectacular though. We got 4 "8's" in our test that day. I have not been to a horse show with just one horse to ride in over 10 years and I felt like I was on a mini-vacation (goes with the sand blasting spa treatment Friday LOL). We have such a fun and supportive group from our barn. We had a lot of laughs and celebrations. Congratulations to Amy Walker on her debut at Grand Prix. We are there to support you. You go Girl!! We got back on Sunday afternoon and promply worked 2 horses and went home and crashed. The horses are in top form this week and things are staying on track. We want to thank all our clients and friends that support us. So....back to wonderful Dressage Training and Riding in lovely San Diego!! Happy Riding!!!
