Boring Update.

Just a quick update- We're through the ApHC World Show, and onto the "boring" (and VERY cold) winter months. The Worlds went well with Skip'N garnering two top 10s again this year, although we actually went down in the placings in Sr. Hunter Hack. Hey, at least the ribbon wasn't YELLOW. It was a nice pretty pink, and while a very refreshing change, pink is now swiftly getting old. Linda was also 5th in Masters HUS, to go with the 5th in Master's Eq. from last year. I'm thinking that I'd like to try a nice royal blue on for size. In all defense it was an EXCELLENT hunter hack class. Not that there wasn't a horse without a flaw, but altogether they were all very, very minor ones. And I DID have a rub. Don't know if the judges heard it or not, but *I* know I had one, and I know that it was probably from overschooling one or two trips too many the night before. Lesson learned.

"Cruiser", the blonde bomber, was solid as always, getting a 7th and 8th in Jr. Barrels and Jr. Poles respectively. A very fine performance from him in a very new (to him) event.

So here we are, at home. World Show horses have gone. I'm painting the barn and Kenn is doing something to occupy his time. We're hoping not to see snow any time soon, and waiting on a fresh bunch of horses coming in within the next couple of days. Lots of youngsters to get broke out. So, while it may be cold, and we won't be seeing much of the road (thank goodness!), I don't think it's going to be too terribly boring around here.
