OFF TO ROLEX.... WOOT! WOOOT!

ME & ANGEL! ... I KNOW! Looks like him doesnt it?


Hey and I lost a ton of weight too! CoOL!


KIDDING!... Not me... or Angel.. THIS TIME... but soon!


That would be Missy Ransenhousen on Critical Decision

Well I have been busy getting in my last rides to hold me over the 5 days I will be gone. Cleaning, organizing and making sure I have grain and bedding and the fencing is up and troughs are filled. I am sure I will not remember everything but all is done outside, raked and mulched and organized so now I can concentrate on packing. The weather forecast calls for 70-80 degree weather. Its raining right now and good that KY is getting that out of the way, because aparently ROLEX is known to have less then fair weather conditions. That be the reason we chose the covered premium seating. What a great time we are going to have! I will miss my riding time and most of all morning walks to the barn with my two Schnauzers but I am sure I wont have time to think about them while I am there soaking up the sun and all the goings on!

I will have my NEW Canon 50D Camera in hand tomorrow! PHEW... but really doesnt leave me much time to make sure all is in working order before hitting the turf! All those new buttons and gadgets and settings... AIIIIIIKE! But the plane ride will hopefully allow me time to familiarize myself with it to get me by... ONE and ONLY chance to get great shots of great riders at the GREATEST event... NO pressure Naw... nahhhh ... uh uh.... really no dont worry about it ... I got it covered... huh... puuh... yah...


Anyhoooo onto other news.... Charles was riden today. He did beautifully with his headset and understanding inside rein inside leg... NICE! And wasnt too bad to lounge or work with tacking up. Hmmmm... there is a connection here... WORK = NICE.... & NO work = DINK.... oh I get it! :) But really... the kids are well.. Angel is still "off" and upon my return I will make sure I have a commitment to 3 sessions with Tusch for Chiro/Acup to right the poor man. I know that Tusch will get him right so we can continue on with our progress.


Baby on the other hand... a little handful on the lounge and then... badaboom badabing... beautiful goer. Haley offered to ride her for me while I am gone as she has done such a great job with her the last two times, I have faith in her to CONTINUE her education with INSIDE REIN INSIDE LEG and not allow her to trot around the arena with her nose out... RIGHT HALEY! Thank you again ... you know that all that work will come at a price right? The price is get it RIGHT or forfeit your special gift from ROLEX! So I know you will do it all so perfectly while I am gone and I will be ready for my first dressage test in May ... and SO WONT YOU! :)


Lastly this will be my final post until April 28th as I will be checking out my competition in KY and taking notes on what motivates me to getter done and GET OUT THERE!


Cant wait to post my next post with all the wonderful things I will have to say.
YOU ALL WILL FEEL LIKE YOU JUST GOT BACK TOO!
It will be like you went without leaving and didnt spend a dime!
LUCKY YOU!

:) until then keep it on the rail and tune in next time!
