Movin' On

   Very cold, blustery winds kept us company for show jumping on Sunday at Paradise Farm. Devoted team member that I am, I stayed in my nice warm cottage "working" while Em and Doug made their early morning round. Doug was a bit spooky (who wouldn't be under those conditions?) but finished with a clear round. 

  Bouncer also decided it was wiser to stay in his nice warm stall. When Lucy pulled him out to get ready, he was a tad "off", nothing serious that some rest and cold water couldn't remedy, so she did the smart thing and scratched. They went out for a hack yesterday and Bouncer seems ready to bounce again.

  Meghan & Rikita had moved up to 4th after their XC ride, so we all braved the chill and went to cheer them on.  (Disclaimer:  my apology for getting Rikita's nick- name wrong all this time, but since no one corrected me I went on my merry way until I overheard Meghan talking about Rikita... *sheesh*).  The two did not disappoint and rode a stead clear round to keep their 4th place!

  As tired as we all were, we went out to dinner that night, partly to celebrate a fun weekend, but also to say good-bye to Meghan (and family) who had to head back to Maine and school.  It was great having you here Meghan... we look forward to riding with you come summer!!  This one's for you & RIKITA!!!
