We all know the frustration of seeing your horse shuffle in from turn-out missing a shoe the morning of a show. Your brain kicks in to overdrive processing things, attempting to rationalize and explain away what you are seeing. There is only one feeling that is even holds a candle to the frustration of having a shoe-less horse: the “what-the-heck-is-that-sound-that-my-truck-is-making” feeling. I spent most of yesterday trying to sort out what the bizarre knocking from the engine of my Durango was. Today, I had planned to zip over to Woodside to watch cross-country day. However, instead today will find me spending several hours waiting around at the dealership to be told they’ll need to keep it overnight. If I get lucky they’ll have an idea by about 10am when I still stand a chance of renting a car and making to Woodside before noon. Guess I better find a book to read.
