Well, fast forward through two on-again off-again leases during grad school, and finally a purchase of a sweet Arabian gelding whose specialty is WP (although I bought him for competitive trails), and guess what we're doing this weekend?
We're headed for a local No Bling show, competing in Western Pleasure and Western Equitation classes. I don't expect to bring home anything big since it's been GOODNESS knows how long since I've had a lesson, but... I'm excited! We have a little refresher lesson on Friday the day-before.
Wish us luck!
