Good evening. I’m back...we didn’t do any good at all this time. To many distractions for me. The biggest being the weather, and trail conditions. The area has been getting lots of rain, and we started in the rain yesterday, something I was hoping not to have to do. The trails were just sloppy, sucky, slippery, rocky boggy mess. The rain clear about 1/2 thru yesterday, so that was nice. But it started again raining hard this morning around 3, and didn’t stop till we were about 30 minutes from the finish line. And it turned cold today too, and windy. With all the horse traffic and additional rain the trails were even worse. There was no place that you didn’t have to deal with sinking mud.
Harley did well as far as condition, and even in all the mud, he was walking 4mph. We were hitting are time marks with no problem, and very little trotting/loping.
The obstacles was were I had trouble, were I always have trouble. We just didn’t do any of them well. He finished with 89 1/2 points, and I finished with 93. So we didn’t do bad, just not well enough to place.
Anyway, I’ll go thru my pictures, and maybe post some tonight.
I’m sorry Kat hurt her foot, I hope it’s not serious. She looks good.

Hi there.... I’ve been looking for you!
Sorry you didn’t place... sounds like a messy ride. They sound like good scores to me. :~)
I too hope Kat’s foot is not serious... I’ve been wanting to hear back about it all weekend, see if she’s better.
