Soggy update...

Ah, yes - spring in North Carolina. How it loves to screw up my plans.

Don't get me wrong -- I love the rain on my pastures and my horses love the green grass in their tummies, BUT, when you have a horse that doesn't deal well with days off, the rain doesn't help. Maybe if it just wouldn't rain from, say, 6pm to 7:30pm -- is that too much to ask?

Prophet's has been making good progress, up until yesterday's rain. He hopefully should be on track for a successful run at Virginia Horse Trials in exactly 2.5 weeks (aaaahhhh!!!!).

Hopefully I'll get in a ride tonight after teaching lessons -- hhmmm... how does one have a full time job, teach lessons in the evenings and still find time to ride? Let's just hope that P-man's night vision is better then my own!

I am so there! Had thunderstorms all week long, so I haven't ridden my boy since Sunday ... if it were MY pastures I was riding in, I wouldn't be so worried. I'm just not in to destroying someone else's pastures riding in the wet, sloppy mud.

So true... not exactly MY fields that I tear up, but my boyfriend has to be the one to mow over the bumpy footprints to the landlord doesn't mind too much!
