I started packing all my crap today to take to the show.  There is sooooo much stuff you have to take to an overnight show.   Its’ completely ridiculous.  The mare has more stuff than I do.

I clipped her and she looks pretty good.  I did have some minor bald spots on the back of her legs but that will grow out by Saturday.  (hopefully).  Ashley W. had already pulled her mane for me so I didn’t have to worry about that.  Mere helped me clip her ears… she was pretty bad for that.  The hand twitch no longer works.  She was pretty upset.  Sigh.  Mere got them tho.  She looks awesome.

So I will take a billion pictures at this show.  I’m sure this will be like 8 pages of scrapbooking.  Hopefully.  I will prolly buy the pictures that the professional photographer there will take.  I know they are expensive as all heck, but who knows when we will be back, so I want everything I can get.  Hopefully there will be ONE, just ONE, money shot that I will love and can blow up.  I have 6 jumping rounds (x 12 jumps per round OR 72 total jumps) to get ONE decent picture where she is going over and I look competent.   Let’s hope for the best, people.

I’m really having alot of butterflies about this show.  I want to do well.  It’s not that I care about what color my ribbons are but I really don’t want to disappoint the people who have worked to get me there.  I want them to be proud of me and I want them to be proud of Cook.  I just want to get around everything.  Cook, I LOVE YOU.  PLEASE, PLEASE PLEASE, be good.  There is nothing I love in this world more than you.
