ready?


As ready as I can be for Wild West. Trailer is packed. Horse looks ready (though we haven't done much training lately, he should be maintaining fitness, right...?!). Boots are glued...


Yes, I attempted to glue on boots. I managed to take exactly one photo before I started. After that things were a little sticky. Literally. There was epoxy, rubber gloves, paper towels, rags, sandpaper and tools all in one sticky mess. But they're on. Will they stay on with a rookie installation? I'll see (and carry back up strap-on boots!)

I am going to just chill, and eat, and try not to worry. I do not HAVE to do anything. I would LIKE to do two 50s. I am entered for both days on these familiar trails. Tack has been working. I will try to remember to take it minute by minute. And eat.

I have every snack I have ever liked. And some I don't. Then more on top of that. Major has good snacks too, including crack alfalfa, some sweet feed topper, and many many apples and carrots. He got one apple early. Love apple face!


I could laugh or stress. I'm going to try laughing, as my fingers are still sticking to the keyboard...
