Ever Changing Plans

So as life goes, it has a way of not going as planned. We started out with high hopes for both Roze and Ty this year and a full schedule of shows, as luck would have it, Ty's tendon is bothering him again and he's off for a few weeks. With this time off he likely won't hit the show ring again until late summer if at all this year. We'll have to carefully consider his performance future as he heals and rehabs.

Roze on the other hand is doign quite well. She's now got two shows under her belt and is back to the show horse I know and love. You'd never know she hadn't been out to a show in two years. Mason Dixon was a bit rocky as I think the upper second level tests are a bit out of her range. This past weekend at the Empire show she was better.

We have a clinic coming up next weekend with Judy Westlake to fine tune her talents and then back to the show ring with a full schedule for the summer with hopes that we'll obtain the points necessary to earn her Legion of Honor. Stay tuned...life is full of suprises.
