One week until the show! WHEW! It has been a long road, and I can't really believe we made it. Well, Wisey making it was a given. More me being too sick to practice and whatnot. But that isn't the point - the point is WE ARE ALMOST READY! We have all the clothing/equipment except a hairnet but that shouldn't be hard to get. I just need to polish the tack, give Wisey a bath the day before, and memorize the end of the second test...xP and then RIDE.We had a lesson today and we did better than we ever have before. We pulled off both tests really well and I didn't get sick halfway through the lesson - which is a first! Well, I had some problems remember parts of the tests...but Wisey was perfect! :D Plus his girlfriend Sadie was in the ring during the first half (She's a Haflinger as well - they look a lot alike but she's darker and skinnier) and they are adorable together. Anne (her rider/owner) says that one day we should do a double Dressage test with each other one day because they look so good with each other, and I think that would be awesome! Unfortunately, we are competing AGAINST each other four times in the show =O It wont be a problem though, in the beginning Dressage tests your only real competition is yourself. Sounds weird, but it's true. Plus this is Wisey & I's first test - we will probably not do very well xD Wisey will be distracted seeing all the new things and people in the stands and I will be nervous and do something stupid and forget the test. YUP! :D But it's for fun, so as long as we don't get disqualified i'm good. If we do i'll be extremely embarrassed :P (Of myself, not Wisey)
