Big preparations

I leave Thursday morning (early!) for the Tom Powers Futurity in Michigan. Nervous? You bet i am!!! I am nervous about hauling my big horse plus my yearling all by myself for 4+ hours, I am nervous about the incredibly tough competition, I am nervous abotu not having any idea of where to go, I am nervous about falling flat on my face in longe line. This is a show I have always wanted to do, so this is a great opportunity for me to fulfill a personal goal of mine. It sure would be nice NOT to get last place...though I am not optimistic. I am a nobody with NO money and no influence...we shall see what happens!

I kind of let the horse thing slide last week while I was so busy with the Battle of the Businesses (our team ended up in second place). Actually that's not a bad thing - after a week of laziness, Taylor went to a show on Sunday and gave Courtney and I 4 near-perfect rides. Gotta love that! Corky, however, is still hairy and hit a growth spurt so that she is a full 2 1/2 inches taller in her hip, throwing off her movement. *sigh* for this to happen now of all times....figures!

Well, wish us luck :-]
