A Chilly Horse Show

O

           Our day at the Horse Show was very successful in that we made it safely to and from, and the girls had a very good time.This trip required a 2 hour drive, a bit out of my comfort zone which  began at 5am. It was extremely cold throughout the day in an unheated barn. The girls had the foresight to pack many blankets which they were able to share with their teammates. They stayed wrapped up in these over their show clothes.We all commented on how professionally the show was run and how pleasant the Show Manager was as he kept the horses and riders moving in and out of the ring.The competition was stiff and this time they didn't bring home many ribbons but they did have a SAFE and fun ride and believe me, that was what I was praying for.Thanks be to God for allowing us to experience this beautiful, sunny, brisk winter day surrounded by so many nice people and graceful, majestic animals.
