Yeah - but I keep having to not sound like I’m more than I am. I’m just one chick with a horse or two. Some of the other posters there (who for whatever reason don’t give a lot of advice) have some real riding accomplishments behind them.

Looks like everyone is gearing up for the visit. I know that I don't have to say this, but take pictures

I have a horse show tomorrow, so I spent most of this afternoon getting ready. I'm really out of practice doing this kind of stuff, and I really remember why I dislike horse shows so much. Woo boy did it come back to me. I'm only doing one test so that I can ease myself back into it. No one is coming to watch, it's just going to be my trainer and I, so the only way that there will be pictures is if there's a show photographer present. Sometimes there is, sometimes there isn't. Kinda bummed about that, but oh well.

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

Good luck at the show. You’ll do fine:)

[HairOfTheDog]

Good luck at the show! Your trainer won’t take pictures?

[Duchess47]

:) Ditto - Hair is a lot more tactful than I am too.

[Duchess47]

Late but hope you have a great show and someone takes some pictures.

[Beaker]

My trainer won’t take pictures because she’ll be calling my test. :-/

[Beaker]

Good News! The show photographer will be there! :-)

Hey, about the stirrup pants, I ride in something similar. You’ve seen me riding in them in all my pictures. They don’t have the stirrups, but they’re made out of the same material and I’ve been having trouble finding them too. But I just found some at Wal-Mart last week. They’re jersey knit, have and elastic waist, pockets and everthing. They have them in black, dark green, navy and gray. You want me to pick you up a pair or two? You can PM me the size if you do and I can get them when I make my pre-trip Wal-Mart run.

[FrogInABlender]

LOL!! Hair's got GROUPIES!!!

[FrogInABlender]

Good job on starting the road trip thread. That’ll be fun!

[FrogInABlender]

That’s great about the photographer! I hope he got some good ones. We’ve needed to see more pictures of you!

[HairOfTheDog]

Thanks, but I think we can find them too... I did a search online and there’s some places still selling them online. So - I’m in luck for now!

Good morning everyone!

[HairOfTheDog]

Oh dear... :~)

[HairOfTheDog]

I wish you were comin’ too Duchess!

Beaker.... good news about the photographer!

I need coffee.

[FrogInABlender]

Yeah, me too!!

Did you see the thread were everyone thought she should write a book:)..that was last weekend:) (Hair, paying you back for the squatting pictures:)

I meant all day yesterday, if ecurbh will track your plan like you did when I came there. I have no clue how to do that. And BTW, I need the specifics about your flight # and all, so I'll know where to get you at. Is all I wrote down was the 16 at 4:10. Becky

[HairOfTheDog]

~chuckling~

I think ecurbh will be able to track the flight and post updates, but he’ll be at work too... I’ll look up and post the flight info today, when I’ve had more coffee!

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

I saw on the HH, that there is a shuttle to the airport from your house. You should have told me that. I’d have taken that rather then have you drag me to the airport so early in the morning. Not being a frequent flyer, I had no idea they provided services like that. I really felt bad about you having to pick me up so late at night, and take me back so early in the morning.

Becky

[HairOfTheDog]

Eh I never would have made you ride the shuttle!

I’m only doing it so ecurbh can have some more sleep and get to work on time. I have to get on it at 3 for a 5:25 drop off, and it’s only an hour drive to the airport. So we’ll be driving and stopping all over the place.
