I think I may finally have a weekend of sort-of downtime on my hands. This is exceptionally unusual and I’m not 100% sure what to do with myself. I have no show this weekend, no volunteering…maybe I’ll wash all the dishes in the sink? Or fold the laundry that’s been sitting in the basket all week? Or vacuum all the dog hair off the living room floor? Maybe…but not until after my cross country lesson this morning!

Take two spins around the Novice course at last weekend’s Groton House Farm with riders from nearby Flying High Stables. Notice a difference in the footing between the two? Yeah, there was a nice little mid-morning downpour to make the day interesting!
