Some people sit quietly to meditate. I prefer to stand on a bag of shavings and fiddle with my hands.
Ah, braids. Formerly my nemesis, now approaching meditative and financially lucrative! There’s something I’m starting to appreciate about buzzing by Starbucks at an hour when the baristas are still groggy, loading up on caffeine and heading out to the show to play hair dresser for a few friends. Last show, I realized I’m turning in to one of THOSE braiders, as I insisted on using glittery yarn on Killbary Prince for Taylor McFall and I’m off to do the same for Charlotte Greatwood on two mares, Gateway Night Light and Black Dog’s Top of the Morning at a Dressage show. Also, I’m ticking off the days until Camelot Equestrian Park’s very first USEA recognized event, simply because I’m dying to use this super cool sparkly copper yarn I found for my mare. I’m beginning to think I should get my head checked.
