Hi,
I'm psyching myself up for my first trip as a competitor to the Woodstock
show. For the 4 years I've owned my fjord I've always told myself "next
year I will bring my horse to the show" but of course I never have!
Meanwhile, forces are working against me this year as well -- just found out
I need an emergency root canal the week before the show, and I'm also
getting married 3 weeks afterward! Stress? What stress?!?! Guess I'll
take my inspiration from Lance Armstrong and fight through it all!
Anyway, I do have a few questions I hope someone can help with...
- How is the cross country - ridden class judged? Is it based on an optimal
time? Are there ridden hazards?
- In the green horse jumping class...do you have to canter 100% of the time?
We are still green at jumping and I don't think we'll manage that. But,
it sounds like fun and I'd like to try.
Any help is appreciated to allay my fears!
ALSO...my friend Wendy may come along for a day or two of the weekend to
cheer me on. She is a certified equine massage therapist, so I thought I'd
see whether anyone might be interested in treating their fjord to a massage.
She does a great job and will be a presenter at Equine Affaire this year.
