First Show, New Show

Yesterday was our first show of the year. Mr. Clyde was washed, clipped and primped the night before. We got up extra early, and we were dragging a little. Clyde was dragging as well and frankly, had to be coaxed into the trailer. We strayed from our usuals and went to a show that we had never been to before. Change and new places can be scary. They had some rules of which we were not aware. And they did not use patterns for English Equitation and Horsemanship. Who does that? 

Oh well. We rolled with it and had some fun.

She placed in lots but didn't win any. She learned a little more and figured out what we need to work on for next weekend. Most of all, she had a darn good attitude. This girlie has come a long way.

It was a good, hot day. Temps reached the nineties. In May. In Michigan. It was a good test of Clyde's health. A few short months ago, Clyde completed his EPM treatments. I knew that if anything, the stress of the show and the heat would bring that nasty protozoa back. We saw no symptoms! Can I get a "Phew?!"
