My husband almost had to slap me when I was complaining about getting a sweatshirt instead of a cooler for our Eq Champ last weekend (I WANT A COOLER). But his wise non0horsey self was like "wife. You're horse is awesome. You had an awesome weekend, you had beautiful rides, you don't need a cooler that you would just put in the garage.."<br /><br />See... even when I'm showing and winning I sometimes forget to enjoy the ride that got us there. The whole keeping things in perspective thing is tricky and I think something I have to work on daily... but kissing that cute horse beak makes it a bit easier :)Ginghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06677667981067220682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1557992152073605177.post-52118429062650461602013-05-10T08:08:27.665-05:002013-05-10T08:08:27.665-05:00Showing is so expensive.

It's hard to watch my barn mates haul out of state to fancy shows and know I can't even afford to go as a groom, but it's where I'm at in life.

I'm glad you're feeling a bit better and that you didn't give up. I had to go without a horse for several years and let me tell you it sucked! Those were the worst years of my life. It's just not the same without them.Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1557992152073605177.post-17465997560992565362013-05-09T20:50:33.686-05:002013-05-09T20:50:33.686-05:00You're not alone in going from being able to s...You're not alone in going from being able to show to not! For different reasons, it's EXTREMELY difficult to show for me and Koda, so we do the mini goals. My thought strategy - once I can get to show, we're going to seriously kick some arse!!<br />I still ride the tests, set up tough courses, but it's now me who is setting the challenges. I watch things in clinics, etc., and if I think it looks like fun, try it out at home, be it ground work, teaching tricks, whatever!NSRiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07014811431121904525noreply@blogger.com
