We've been waiting for this moment for almost 3 years now... our very first show. See, we were scheduled to ride in a local show the very first year we were together, but torrential rain stopped us. Pumped up by our instructor at the time, I was determined to do a show and collect those ribbons! Three years later, we are returning to the ring - for the first time.
Our barn is having a schooling show - no show clothes allowed, just fun. I am like a giddy 12 year old girl. We will have our moment in the ring! Of course, my mare has now decided to give up steering - Me: OK, pick up the trot, and circle to the left. Vashti: UGH, OK, we're trotting, you said right, right? Me: Left.... Vashti: lah, lah, lah Me: LEFT LEFT and I'm pulling on her head and mouth as she doggedly turns away from all the cues.
Stay tuned for the results - will we get a ribbon, any ribbon? Or will I be laughed at by 10 year olds...
