Such a nice day at Loudoun today. Saw Mizzwade, Petunia, RHowell, Starlight...lots and lots of other people...and had fun watching all the nice horses. Our kids were good and I'm a little sunburned and a lot tired and I didn't even ride!

Here is a great picture to RH took for me. Gene was such a good boy, even if his Mommy had a slight off day. I forgot how to count. I'm not used to riding such a quiet horse. I was able to fix my mistakes on my 2nd trip so that made me happy. I have such a great horse and a wonderful trainer to help me.

E&E's mom, her horse and the real E&E's were so adorable, I could hardly stand it.

I have to say, Loudoun was the least pleasant horse show of my life, but on the bright side, now that I have the worst horse show of my life behind me, it'll be smooth sailing from here! My horse and I slid into the out of the two stride (went next to last and the track was so torn up from other people sliding in the too-long two stride, it was impossible to get traction) that he slid in all the skid marks--in hindsight, i probably should have done some practice jumps after that to get my confidence back, but we had to go hack--today I rode backwards and scared and it wasn't pretty.

I was happy, however, so see a girl i really like put in a KICK ASS handy trip and win it.....Go Charlotte and Sid!

I had a great time at the show today! RH had some good jumps, regardless of her assertion that it was the worst show of her life! My barnmate rode beautifully on the outside course, and all in all, it was great to be around the ponies again.

Her trips were adorable--they looked like they were having soooo much fun out there! I hope they get some great pics!

Does anyone know how Czech and Taylor Brown ended up overall in the Older Small Jr's? She had great ribbons both days and I was hoping for champ or reserve for her...?

I sure am glad we were done before the rain hit yesterday. It was quite a mess!
Question for all of you. Anyone know Rachel Koggan who owns a pre-green horse named Fortune? Southie won the pre-green trophy last year and I neglected (there were directions?!?) to get it engraved before returning it. I'm trying to get in touch with her since I believe she won it this year. Anyone have her phone number, email, or directions for carrier pigeons? Much appreciated...

Congrats to all!
