Re: Temporary Handicapped card? Kathe

[Guest guest]

It's funny how you start thinking of different ways just to save

steps. It's not that walking that specific distance is so bad, if

that's all you have to do it's the way things build up, and the

fatigue they cause.

I told you I'm going to try doing this horse show in August. My

friend and I have already been plotting and plannig how to make things

easier... Like getting there a day early, so we can be sure to get a

site for the travel trailer that is close to things, and asking for

stalls in the barn closest to the main ring. She even wrote a note

asking that my dressge tests (I'm riding two on Fri. and two on Sat.)

be scheduled close enough together that I can just stay on, and not

have to do two separate warm-ups.

I think the biggest help will be having my teenage son there to do all

the set-up work and lugging around that is required when you take

horses to a multi-day show. He can also do all the travel trailer set-

up. I am just SO grateful that he's willing to come with me!

It all seems like little things, but I think (hope) it will make the

difference between making it do-able, and totally killimg me. We'll

see if my theory holds true after the fact!<g>

Thanks, Jenna! Now that I'm committed, (having sent the $$$ entry

fees<g>) I'm getting excited about going! I've really missed

showing since this all started.
