  I guess you had good weather.

I replied:

Competition wise it was not the best day for us.  I
lost 1st place by .3 points.   Sue and Jimmy got
eliminated.   Jimmy went through a gate backwards even though I was telling him not to go that way.  Poor  Sue got "E" a multiple of times.

Sue, Holly and I were off course in our dressage
tests.  Holly got a ribbon for being best conditioned mini.  She placed 3rd out of 5 in the
Training division Limit.

Even though there are NO accomondations, the "locals" walked and learned the hazards the day before while the rest of us barely got them walked.   I was mentoring 3 people and couldn't pay attention to myself.

I think I will do better at Teddy Bears with just
myself to think about.

But all in all, we had a
good time.   It was a little
chilly in the morning.   I learned alot.   I've got to
be careful not to canter too much after leaving a
hazard.  I wish my dressage score would get better.  I think I will try a take a lesson from Muffy this week.
