Frigid

So today we proved that I don't even want to walk out to the barn when the high is 14, never mind consider riding.

Went to the Reining freestyle at the stock show yesterday. What they have right:

• bling
• glitter
• fun music
• audience participation
• lots of noise
• costumes
• no bridles for three performers and once no saddle either.

But (you knew there was a but) leg yield was a big hairy deal.  Even my girls thought they ought to go to half pass.  One person had sequences, most had bad single changes.  The slides and spins are fun, but they need more difficulty. 

Dressage people really need to clue into the fun, noisy part though.  Lots of people loved Fuego at the WEG bcz his rider worked the audience (and bcz he is a cool horse of course).
