Show season officially started for me last weekend with a kickoff visit to the Mount Holyoke Schooling Show on Easter weekend.
I was supposed to visit the inlaws with my husband. But my instructor was making her Grand Prix debut at the show. Most everyone had plans. So I was (willingly) conscripted to be marketer, videographer, caterer, and groom - which left little time for blogging.
I took Friday off of work. I printed out advertising flyers and pamphlets. I packed chicken salad sandwiches (recipe), iced tea, and snacks. I bought a new video camera. I also rode Armani and went trailer shopping with my mother. Then Saturday morning I rode Armani early. Armani stared at my instructor's trailer as I was grooming him. I lead him loosely toward the arena. Armani turned and took a few steps toward the open trailer ramp. "That's not for you." I told him. He was unusually compliant and gave an extra effort as we rode. Then I guiltily took off for the show without him.
Full show report once I get the pics off my camera....

Can't wait to see the pics. I think Armani is ready to show, he seems like he wants a ride in the trailer.
Love the cartoon! You're one busy lady - sounds like Armani's looking forward to showing. We have a pony that used to drag us to the trailer for shows and jump right on - shows were the only time he got any grain!
Looking forward to the pics! Busy, busy gal. Armani wants to go showing too!
I love my mother-in-law, but I'd rather be at a horse show any day!
When do Armani (& you) get to show?
Well, this is kind of unrelated to this post, but I noticed in one from last year you were looking for papers on a horse, was that this one? Because he was sold off the track without them? Did you ever find them, or are you still in the process of searching? If so I wish you luck, I have a QH who was abused and the papers lost in that situtation, it is very unfortunate.
Well Armani is going to a show without me in May on my husband's birthday. I promised to spend his birthday with him, not at the show like last year... but that doesn't mean Armani can't go! My instructor is taking him. :)
allaroundhorses - Huey, my mom's off the track quarter horse is the one we are looking for papers on. You can read a bit about it here . I hadn't pursued it in a while since I wasn't getting any where. I only have his partly legible tattoo to go on. Are you having more luck with yours?
The cartoon is great. It made me laugh our loud. Finding time for anything with kids is a challenge too. Great blog. We have a rider as part of our group.
