Poor Satchmo's eye was swollen yesterday :( looked like he had hurt it on something. But that didn't get him enough sympathy to not be ridden. Granted I was being a little nice to him - nicer than usual - but I did have to get after him when we started jumping. I had to give him a little whack with the crop because this whole refusing thing has got to stop. After one little tap he did not refuse again! LOL!
Next weekend we are going to Columbia Horse Center for the Hunter/Jumper show. We're going to do 2 divisions. Low Hunter at 2' and Hopeful Hunter at 2'3". I'm nervous! I haven't done a show like that in a LONG time! :) But I'm excited, too! As long as the warm up goes well/schooling we should be fine. Satchmo is pretty smart in that sense.
Hopefully we'll get some good pictures, too! *hope* and maybe a ribbon or 2??
