This is what happens when you find out your show season is not going to go as planned and your horse needs a month off… Buh bye one star goals for the year. oh well at least I got to go prelim at an amazing venue like I planned and we might still make it to California in October to try our hand again. #comfortfood #eventerproblems #myhorseiseatingmymoney A photo posted by @sj_ostasz on Aug 11, 2015 at 8:08pm PDT
