Show went well. Sorry didn't get any pics but old camera is acting up.

It rained all day Thursday, which made the grounds pretty swampy but I did manage to work Whitey during a break in the rain. We were lucky that the rain stopped by showtime and the grounds crew worked their butts off on the ring. Ended up winning a class and getting two thirds. Was told by many that Whitey should have won everything he was entered in but sometimes the judge doesn't see it the same way. I was thrilled with the rides he gave me and am old enough to know it's not all about the prizes.

Mom's young gelding was off the farm for only the second time and he was quite the gentleman. She'll be showing him by July and they'll make quite a team.

Hope everyone in New England is safe.
