Long Weekend in Numbers

Hope everyone had a good Labour Day Long Weekend! I spent it in the best way possible: at a dressage clinic!

Weekend in Numbers:

380 - km of driving over 3 days (barely anything compared to normal!)
20 - minutes spent in two-point in my first lesson, my dressage legs aren't used to that!
14 - clinic participants
10 - failures to get a conformation shot, at least

Some of the outtakes

8 - the stirrup hole my stirrups were change to
7 - pocketfuls of treats given to my awesome mare
3 - number of lessons I had this weekend
3 - times I got stopped at rail crossings for 100+ car trains

You know it's a big train when there are 6 engines at the front!

2 - hours that Kachina stood perfectly in the barn at the clinic so I could watch other rides
2 - tight maneuvers required to get my trailer turned around in the small driveway of the host barn

Halfway through one maneuver - backing up between two other rigs

Not a whole lot of room to spare
(the other side was equally close)

1 - great clinic - ride recaps to come

  3. Pretty sure my trailer would either still be in that parking lot or someone would have had to turn it around for me. I'm excited to hear about the clinic.
