Tomorrow I am riding two different horses in two different dressage tests, at a local schooling show. Although it is not very official, I am a little wound up at the moment, because I have not done this since 2005. With luck, I will have photos and possibly movies to share, later tomorrow. With a LOT of luck, it will not rain on our tests.
I will cheerfully take a lot of luck!

I’m sure the other one will break through tomorrow, and it will get patched as well. This child has extra sharp knees.

A very happy 75th birthday to my sainted mother. I am sorry I’m not there to administer a hug and some breakfast – I hope this day is sunny and lovely.
I love you a lot.
Happy birthday.

finishing

My mother braved the weather to come up from Massachusetts to cheer us on.
The good parts? Company all the way around, no falling down, no puking. Alice took the picture of us finishing. The baby was great – interested and not yelling. Also the rain waited until we were done. And they had some salty snacks at the end.
The astonishing parts? We passed people. I totally did not expect that! Also a childhood friend's mom came, and cheered us on and took us out to a lovely lunch.

floofy, sweet smelling daffodil for Mother’s Day. Think of me running a race tomorrow. 5K. My goals are to not fall over, and not puke. Anything else is a win.
