Ok, taking a minute from grading exams to say that possible the MOST exciting part of the whole day was the fact that my tall boots zipped right up at 6:30 after having walked all day in the heat! A year ago there wouldn't have been a chance in hell of those suckers going on unless it was a 7AM!

Oh god...home and in my bed. Duplo is linimented and wrapped in his house. It was a LONG day and the short version is my horse was a liar, lol! He was SO QUIET in both warm up rings so I didn't do much, we walked in the show ring and he woke up and exploded a little on the right lead canter. I'll download and post my pics tomorrow and show off his GORGEOUS tail braid(thanks RHowell). He was really a good boy all day except when it mattered but next year I'm hoping for the Small Hunters and the Adults even maybe. And even if all I do is the BFTTH again, I'll ride the everloving CRAP out of him even if he's lying to me ;)

Have been up since 3AM and have a meeting with the head of school and the parents of the child who IM'ed me "Hiel Hitler" last week...have I ever mentioned I'm Jewish??? Oy. So tired but so pleased. If we got nothing out of the day except a spook proof horse then so be it! I was a proud mama for a lot of reasons!
Heinie, I had a dream last night that involved the comment and the kid's excuse for it. I dreamed that he was claiming that he was asking you how to spell it for a history paper only part of the text came through. Please fill me in on what the little brat uses as his excuse for this one.

RHowell(and anyone else who cares...this 8th grader sent me an AIM last week with 2 words: NOT FU...worse...Heil Hitler, yes I'm Jewish).

First he claimed it was his friend...then he backtracked and gave me a 1/2 assed apology which was beyond weak. The Headmaster and my boss both spoke with him and his parents are various points since Friday. Apparently the dad lost his cool with the Head and then came back and apologized(hello, apple...tree...). We all met this AM and the kid gave me a more sincere apology and admitted that he did it, there was no friend and he was trying to be a jerk. I then left the room and the Head and my boss spoke with dad and kid some more. He gave not one sorry excuse which is good. I need to follow up with the Head and my boss again but it was handled very well by them both and they were behind me 100%. My Head said something very interesting: "While this may not actually be a hate crime, this is the first step in a very wrong direction and I'm worried about where you might go next." This kid really is on the path to trouble...makes me sad for him in some ways because he has little to no support at home. :(

yay! i've fixed the feed--for other people who are getting it in "brain scan colors" right clik on it, then click on options, then on the default tab, click on "advanced" and then unclick the first box that has something to do with video rendering--now i can see horses!

Is something wrong with the feed, I keep getting a bay horse trot by the ingate, two other horses walk in and then it locks up. I shut it down and try again and it's the same bit of video again and again.

With all the wild weather happening, I wonder if they stopped the show? Nothing on live feed.

The show started back a few minutes ago. The storms did pass through- I am not sure why it's not live anymore!! (My friend called me from there to let me know they did stop it because of weather)

I just got home leaving everyone behind to weather the storms so I thought. It took me over 2 hours to get back to Columbia MD. UGH!!!! I had to pull over on 28 prior to the toll road b/c everyone was just stopping in the road b/c the weather was so bad. I was fine in my car but felt horrible for RBK and my barn mates that I left behind.

RH, it seemed very slippery today and after the rain I fear it will be worse. I will give Atti some treats tomorrow when I go to ride.

I texted my son John (who works on the crew) to ask him if he were okay. He said he was but it was very scarey and when I asked if they had lost anything besides power and he said a couple of tents. I do not know if he meant party tents, shade tents or stall tents. He said the bad weather was over for now and that he thought horses were all okay.
Hope that is the end of the bad weather!

It was super slick today. The Boy questioned it to a 4' oxer and then slid right through it. He finished up just fine but he's going home on the morning ride with Atti. No use scaring me and him. I'm still doing my local hunter because she's a trooper and the jumps are low.
