I didn't really need to do the last rated show of the year at the Hoosier Horse Park, but since my mom was able to come that weekend, I decided to do one day and have a nice confidence building outing before IDS Championships on October 1.
On Friday night, right as we got there and got unloaded, a big storm rolled up:
so we did what any reasonable person would do: ran for the nearest alcohol!
Once the rain stopped and the alcohol cleared our systems, I headed back out to get a ride in.

Gave my horse an actual bath with actual soap at an actual show, Connor's Aunt Mary eat your heart out! |
Looking good no matter what the tack :) Can't wait to hear about your rides!
ReplyDeleteConnor is so handsome <3
ReplyDeleteDrinks are never a bad choice at a horse show I'm pretty sure...
ReplyDeleteRain AND a bath? You are a horse abuser. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI so rarely wear belts, but I pretty much always miss a loop when I do.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are looking great!
ReplyDeleteI seriously didn't even notice you were riding in a jump saddle I was distracted by your beautiful dressage skills
ReplyDeleteYou guys look great! Except the belt loop :P Just kidding, I would have never noticed that haha
ReplyDeleteHa yay for actual shampoo!!
ReplyDeleteThe picture of him with his number on is soooo cute!
