I can feel it creeping up... that feeling that I will not be ready. Everyday I do something to prepare for show season. Whether it be checking my memory on 2-1 or 3-1 or practicing the hard parts of the test -- clean changes, counter canter, simple change... omg straightness. How hard can straightness be? Apparently very hard tonight. During our lesson we were made to live in shoulder in going to the right. I just could not get out of my own way.
After breaking a sweat -- both of us not just me -- and trying repeatedly we got some good moments. I was a bit frustrated and Blu was patiently waiting for me to get it right. He did test me though. I would get his shoulder and then he would swing his haunches out. I would straighten them and he would stiffen in his neck. ARGHHHH.... Then I just laughed and off we went to another exercise.
So lots of work to do and more tomorrow. Hmmmm what will tomorrow bring? I have to chase down some missing scores with USDF. Good thing I kept all those tests that were signed by the show secretary. I would hate to have to repeat any of them. I promised Blu tonight that as soon as I had my second and third level scores this season we would stop showing... We would just have to start preparing for next season... 4th level and PSG!!!
God my body hurts after that butt whoopin' Love that boy though!
