Well, we’ve picked up this morning where we left off last night. We started this class with 14 and now we’re down to 13. They’re starting to take the gate already! This was, ummm, well, rather a messy class. I think some of the horses have reached the breaking point, much the same way that some of the trainers who’ve been here for almost weeks have hit the end of their ropes! I know more than one of these ladies was wishing their horse remembered how to wear a bridle and that curb bits were designed to make a headset better….oops!!

A line that Phil Fountain uses quite often comes to mind at this moment…..”Sir, you are no lady”. Hahaha! I think there was more testosterone raging in this class of ladies, mares and geldings than the park saddle stallion class with all male riders the other night! One talented trainer lost her stirrups, laughed and just kept riding hard before picking them up at the end of her pass (which is why she’s a world champion eq rider and has coached a plethora more of world champion eq riders), two amateur ladies decided to smack it out in an ultimate fighting match that almost took out Carrington and the giant pot of flowers on the corner of center ring!!! GAME ON!!!!
