I don't like the weather where I live. It can get below -10 degrees in the winter and about 98 in the summer. In six hours it went from beautiful weather to a 60 mph windshield and below zero. But I still had a good day.
A while ago I got invited to a horse show by a friend, R. After talking it over with Terry we decided to not do it because it's January and we weren't sure if we would be outside while we wait or inside.
I decided that if I couldn't show I would go watch. So I got a hold of H, and we planned on her picking Aleythia and me up at noon.
We met R there and just hung out and had a good time. Later on R asked me if I wanted to do the pickup race with her. Another thing it's know as is the rescue race. Basically you race down to the other end of the arena, pick up another rider and race back. Fastest team to complete this wins. So for this I was able to stand up on a barrel. So R rode her horse down to me and on the way over her horse bucked. Then she wouldn't get at the right angle for me to hop on. I ended up jumping onto her back and that didn't work out too well. I was half off of the horse and couldn't get into position. I fell off and R waited for me and I attempted to get back on. I seriously have problems. I could not get myself onto the horse. It was sad. It was fun, but sad.
I think I'll convice Terry to go to it next year. It's actually a fund raiser and for 10 bucks you can compete a whole day. Any extra horses are five dollars more. The horses were all in the arena and I think it would be good practice. It wasn't like the fair. There were green broke horses there and more relaxed than the fair. Everyone was there to have fun. It would be a good place to bring the fillies to for their first show. Not so much stress but still get the experience.
And then we went ice skating afterwards. And I got to laugh at my brother-in law, N, and his skating skills.
