Hello Everyone!

The Rocking Horse Show was ...well... ICK. Plagued by the weather, I think that the organizers and riders pulled off an amazing feat just to complete the trial on the weekend.

In the wake of a natural disaster they managed to cram a 3 day trial with 470 horses into 2 days! The end results for the girls were less then stellar but wow did they shine when it came to attitude. Driving through severe weather, warming up on three different occasions for dressage, getting drenched in a cold downpours, riding sopping wet in front of a dressage judge that was sitting in her dry car with the heat on, losing the option of riding XC, falling off in the mud and hurrying up for stadium only to wait for 3 hours to ride. These were things that I know the girls experienced and yet the smiles continued to shine through. I am so proud of you girls!
