630Am comes early.  I went to feed breakfast and it was C-O-L-D.  So I fed, turned out and then left to come home and take a nap.  Then I went back to ride with Upton and Elvis.  Cook was good.  I actually hopped over some poles on the ground and let her canter away just to have some FUN again.  Cook was good girl. 

SO I go home to shower and change and Upton calls me.  It seems the trusty Exploder has … well… indeed exploded.  Ok, maybe not exploded, but overheated.  So she needs ride to the Prix.  except I have no back seat.  AND a TON of horse crap in the back.  So Upton must squish back there cause Debbie is going to the Prix too.

 So we make it there (and get Upton out of my trunk).  Grand Prix Time!  yay!  big jumps!  It was really awesome (as usual).  8 riders made the jump-off.  Everything was pretty safe until the last rider pushed his horse to keep going even though they were already eliminated.  Horse crashed the fence… rider and horse went down.  Riders come off often… horses down though catches my breath and makes me sad.  But the horse got up and cantered away.  So I hope and pray that he is ok.  Someone is gonna get some bute tonight.

 So now i’m home.  In bed.  night, folks.
