we spent 14 hrs at a 4-h open show
yesterday, if that isn't endurance, I don't know what is. !?!
I have to admit the boys didn't do too
well with their little endurance mares in western pleasure, (I never did hear
them ask for the extended trot?!??) but they sure made us proud
in horsemanship and the speed events <BG>

Went to a horse show yesterday
as a substitute mom. My first one ever.
Between saddle and outfit changes
it felt like I had crewed for 10 hundred milers.
I will take endurance over showing
any day.
I also spent time explaining to my
charge and any one else who would listen why they needed to have water at the
trailers. They all thought I was crazy when I suggested they carry water
from the trough to the trailer area. I am sure they wanted to commit me to the
insane asylum when I did carry 2 - 5 gallon buckets to our
trailer.
Had lots of laughs and saw another
side to the horse world
