need all this clobber?
Yes folks, I went to a competition on Sunday and spent the whole of Saturday getting ready for it, including tracking down all the bits and pieces that have scattered over the house, feed room and back kitchen in the space of the last 2 years. I knew I had seen the best spare girth lying quietly somewhere, but where?
I found it eventually. Does a dressage competition merit spare bridle, girth and full first aid kit? Discuss.
I put on front boots in case he came rushing down the ramp and onto a sharp stone, but apart from someone who was very interested in the boots as a replacement for shoes no-one made any comment. I carefully removed the boots before going into the arena, and put them back on afterwards. If anyone had said anything I was going to say it was a precaution, just like they might put on brushing boots. But no-one said anything. I noticed one other barefoot person there.
Oh, and guess what. Not only did I remember 2 dressage tests, I also came 3rd in one class.
