Murphy’s Law This whole week has been total chaos. Seems like we have been a day behind from the get go and just cant make up the difference. Yesterday was supposed to be the first show of the season for us. Notice I said “was supposed to be” instead of just plain ole “was”. We didn’t make it. We were late getting out and then had a couple flats on the trailer and with only one spare and time not in our favor we ended up staying home. Of course the tire problem was found out the morning of the show after we had busted our butts all week long and had got our sorry butts out of bed at 6am to feed the horses and wash the white one (Hank). Of course its easy to place blame but darn it Duane – that stuff is your domain and I cant believe that you didn’t get the truck and trailer checked out a couple days prior to the blasted show, because it could have been avoided. Then again, looking back the whole week was a series of mishaps so it just wasn’t meant to be.The day was not lost even though we missed the show. Grandma came to get our youngin for a summer visit and she brought some other youngsters over with her to enjoy the horses. We went for a wagon ride and grandma even had enough gumption to ride Hank while the rest of us went along in the wagon. Go Granny Go!!! The kids all got to ride Hank a bit too so they really enjoyed the down time to be able to mess around with our big guys.
While it was nice to take things slower and relax from the crazy week, it was a crush to see the boys work so well while on our wagon ride. They were so perfectly prancing and I had been so worried about Doug due to the cut on his ankle a month ago but it didn’t bother him one bit and he moved out enjoying being out on the road. It’s a shame that they didn’t get the chance to show off in front of a judge.
