Yesterday was a beautiful day for a horse show but the weather gods must not have been smiling on the judge. She has her own little rain cloud hanging over her head and she shared it with the rest of us... I thought I had given my best ride (if you exclude the fabulous flying lead change during our counter canter half circle ... thank you Blu :-) ) only to find out I performed the worse this season. I was stunned and then I was mad and then I allowed myself to feel hurt. I kept questioning "why do I do this?" Over and over again I asked myself the question. I think at this point it is because I never give up... NEVER. I set my sights on a bronze medal over 15 years ago when I turned from hunters to dressage. Now my question is "When is this going to happen and now what do I have to do to get those scores?" All I know is when it does happen, there is going to be one big fat ass celebration!
As usual Blu was perfection. I love this boy more with each passing day. How can that be possible? Here is a picture to display his magnificence. Thanks to my friend Stephanie from Dexterpix for such a terrrific shot. He truly is a blessing. Never mind what that judge says...
