Das Schedule

I haven't been out to see Bastian since Thursday of last week.  I had to go to Erie, PA on Friday for the weekend.  I'm back home momentarily.  Tomorrow I am off to Penn State Main Campus for the 4-H Horse Advisory Committee meeting so I won't be back to the barn until Tuesday.  My trainer is keeping Bastian going, she rode him Saturday and is riding him on Monday, but I miss my boy.  Too many days without my horse means that my mood plummets.  I'm holding steady and I think I'll make it to Tuesday night since tomorrow should be fun and Tuesday I'm showing all of my classes movies in school so its a no-brainer kind of day for me. :)

So, when I'm seperated from my ponies for any length of time, I start to speculate and plan.  Hey, if I can't be actively riding, I should at least be spending double that time thinking about riding, right?

So here is my proposed show schedule for this summer:

• May 8th Dressage Schooling Show at Grand Haven
• Training 1 or 2
• Training 4
• First 2 or 4
• May 16th Erie Hunt and Saddle Club Summer Show I
• 2' hunters
• Trail
• Pleasure
• Equitation
• June 5th EHSC Combined Test
• 2' Division
• June 6th EHSC Summer Show II
• 2' Hunters
• Trail
• Pleasure
• Equitation
• June 11th-13th  Recognized Dressage at Grand Haven and WPDA Show
• Training 4 (Qual)
• First 4 (Qual)
• Hoping to get my qualifying scores for regionals
• June 19th (and possibly 20th) Up and Over Double Points Show
• 2' Hunters
• July 4th South Farm Horse Trials
• 2' Starter Division
• July 10th-11th  Horse Sports in Erie Hunter Jumper Show
• 2' Hunters
• $150 Pleasure Stake (Woot!)
• Class 77, the Classic if I can find someone who needs a horse to ride for this class (no way am I jumping 2'6" to 2'9")
• July 18th EHSC Summer Show III
• 2' Hunters
• Trail
• Pleasure
• Equitation
• July 31st Judged Trail Ride in Tidioute, PA

That's all for now.  August will include some more Up and Over Hunter Shows and I am going to start looking for a recognized event for Bastian in the fall. 

Its going to be a very busy three months, but I am really looking forward to everything!  I am so very super excited to show Bastian this year!  Woot! Now its off to bed, only a day and a half until I get to see my boy again :)
