Steel did this ride for me this year, due to Penny playing in the snow with Grasshopper and straining her rear suspensory ligament.<\/p>\n
POOR STEEL!\u00a0 I wanted to see if I could earn her an ECTRA Versatility so I did not put her interference boots on and I rode her for CTR Judging.<\/p>\n
Big Mistake.\u00a0 She tore up her left rear pastern and she was not happy with me.<\/p>\n
However, she did a fabulous job on the ride.\u00a0 I rode with Dawn and Nicole and they set a nice strong pace all day.\u00a0 Steel was her awesome “La la la” self and she finished the ride in 9th place.<\/p>\n
The only thing about this ride that actually warrants a “story telling” is how I got dirty looks from the owner of the horse Dawn was riding …<\/p>\n
WHY?<\/p>\n
Because Steel has some separation anxiety issues, which we all know about and love her anyway, so I parked her outside Dawn’s stall for the hold.\u00a0 Apparently, this was not making that person very happy.\u00a0 If looks could kill, I would be writing this from a graveyard somewhere.<\/p>\n
chuckle<\/p>\n
It’s all good.\u00a0 I had a blast with Dawn and Nicole and Steel was fabulous. Started the day with a coat and a hoody (brrrr) and ended the day stripped down to my t-shirt.\u00a0 It was beautiful weather.<\/p>\n
