Show Prep Week!

I am beginning to think that we are in England instead of Kansas. It has been very wet and cloudy this past week and since we don't have an all weather manege (European outdoor arena for us Americans) we are still hauling to Benediction Farms and Tricia Kaufman's barn to get horses worked.
Weekends at my place are photo and video days since Evan is home to help me. He has become quite the photographer and we got some great photos of Tex on Sunday morning. I am thrilled with the way he is working. He is one of those horses that you can rely on to be there for you. He works hard, concentrates, and puts effort into everything that I have asked. So our big activity for this week is SHOW PREP! I can't believe that I have committed to taking Tex to a show already, but here we are. When I decided to do this Dec 20th seemed a long way off! The Gold Coin Show Series in Hutchinson, KS is a winter open show series designed as prep and practice, so it really will be a perfect chance to get Tex out in a show environment before the Battle. But I can't help thinking about the fact that he will have 30 days of riding off of the track! I know that he will be awesome and we have enough lateral control that I can keep his attention but I feel a little like a Kindergarten teacher the first time that she asks a student to read. We are just going to have to do it and trust each other.
Look at that cute face!
