Focus please

So many things in the works at the moment. Looking at a show schedule for the upcoming months. A lot of options and a lot of it do-able. A show here, a couple shows there, here a show, there a show, everywhere a horse show.... 

Realistically Mazy could do a lot of them. Dressage, hunters and now with driving as an option, a lot of different doors are opening up for her and for us both really. Discussing the plans with a friend of mine over the past few weeks, we agreed that showing is how to get her sold. People seeing her out and about doing things, doing Her thing- she will Not go unnoticed. With her coloring, presence and her attitude for commanding your attention- Mazy will not be ignored. 

Would I like to show up and sweep everything? Sure. But if we are going to be competitive, we have work to do. We have to get serious about What we are doing, Which ring we will be doing it In and Where we will be doing it. 

One show in particular would be a good place to display her talents as my friend L knows a Lot of people involved in the organization of the show. She has competed with them, shown under some of them before and discussed course design and hazards with them. What to look for, tips on your overall appearances, what judges like to see, what they don't like to see. 

The funny thing about it all is the diversity of the Different backgrounds from everyone. Different people cross over from different events and become hooked on something they may have always wanted to try or maybe it never crossed their mind before. Just as they come into our sport of choice, others leave to explore other options too. One of the beautiful things about horses- there is always so much more to learn.
