This month has been wild...judged in Colorado, worked the driving show at the saddle club I belong to, and then went to Flagler Beach to judge OFs while Caitlin showed my resins...NAN qualified almost everyone...well anyways, those that mattered...My biggest thrill was Ziptasm winning the custom division, and my Sensational Outkast being a shining star!
Next weekend we are doing a 3 day show in Orlando, then onto the Paint/Pinto show (taking a ton of work with me as usual) as I am so bombarded (gladly) with work, that I am working a full 8 hour day, weekends, and lots of over-time! Riding every day too, getting the Crushpuppy ready for his debut in Pinto schooling classes with friend Michelle as competition and her baby boy...should be fun. The show next weekend is a 3 day Battle of the Barns and I am cooking chili, showing two horses, and planning on sleeping quite well with those gin-laced slurpees Barb and I do...So bad!!!

Colorado was wonderful...judging was the best! The Stone models are so impressive. I really thought there would be little to look at but I was so wrong!!! Gorgeous stuff! It inspires me to come home and get to work on those dozen Palouse bodies and those TWO dozen ISH bodies!
The cabins were fantastic! Like little houses! Cold and even snowed (I am a Florida girl!) but I got to wear my congress jacket and thermal undies...The hayride was a total blast. Nothing like a big cup of marguerita to enjoy while two gorgeous Belgians haul us over the country side...I met amazing people and reunited with old friends...I could hang with Theresa, Marianna, and Sheila (and Mary!) all the time! I miss them already!
