Well, I made it!
Got up early this morning and headed to the horse show. Spent some time listening to a few of my favorite songs and reflecting on what I've accomplished on horseback to get this far. I had to do my visualizing in the car because I wasn't going to have any time once I got to the show grounds. But, it went well. As I crested the hill on the fwy and was able to see the show grounds I found myself smiling. Bottom line, I love showing and Breezy & I are a good team, no matter what else is going on win my life.
Breezy and I warmed up well and I was completely focused and relaxed by the time I walked in to show my horse. We had a good run. We scored a 71 1/2 and a 70 (this judge gave us 2 1/2 points worth of penalties the the other judge didn't). Good enough for a 4 way tie for 1st under on judge and a 3 way tie for 3rd under the other. We aren't quite sure how they broke the ties, but I ended up at the bottom of all of them with 4th and a 5th.
Tomorrow we with be show/schooling. Should get a score, but run the whole patter slow and correct. Then the same thing on Saturday. Then Sunday show full out.

Congratulations and keep having fun!!
Well done, Kristin, well done. So thankful you were able to relax.
hey, congrats on a solid ride. You can't control the judge's scores--as long as your performance was good, that's all you can do. Good luck on Sun!
Happy to hear you are enjoying yourself and relaxing a little.
You have a very full life and need the relaxing times. Good Luck and keeping smiling. xo mom
