Saturday Slight













Am about to head out and feed horses for the morning, and soon after that, it's off to the 4-H horse show with Mr. Lefty.

He's had quite a summer of tender loving care.  You can maybe see the positive changes in his overall appearance from April 22 to yesterday just after Terra bathed him.

This weekend, all this attention and work will be topped off with some competition. 

Lefty's friend and handler, Terra will practice her skills at showmanship, equitation and making it through the obstacles on the fairgrounds trail course. 

We're hoping for the best, but the ribbons will just be frosting on the cake because Terra has come so far this year with her confidence and her knowledge of general horsemanship.

This is all thanks to the "village" of wonderful adults who have guided her through new challenges. 

As an observer/guide and cheerleader, it's been a fun ride for me, to say the least. 

Good luck to Terra and all the Gold n' Grouse 4-H Club members as they compete in this weekend's show. 

That's it for now.  

I might return later this afternoon and post a few photos of today's events. 

As promised, this weekend's blog postings will be a bit hit and miss. So, thanks for your patience. 

Happy Saturday.
