7:30 am schooling arena…first division starts around 9:00 am…two over fences classes then two classes on the flat…my next division directly follows…two more over the fence classes and two more classes on the flat…take Heidi back to the trailer and untack…it is now somewhere around 12:00 pm…while everyone else is busy showing, I am on horse watch…three horses and one of me…I sit on the mounting block watching the horses and keep myself occupied with photos…

Kat, spends time opening the trailer door…Heidi, spends time playing Houdini by grabbing the end of the lead rope to undo the quick knot…Noah, spends time trying to reach the grass which has him frustrated and pawing at the ground…what a crew…phew, Heidi only escapes once…somewhere around 1:00 pm, move Noah to the end because he is instigating the girls by stealing their hay, somewhere around 2:30 pm, I am hand walking Kat because of her antics with the trailer door…every one else is done showing around 3:30 pm…relieved of my horse watching duties.

they kept me quite busy and quite entertained for a few hours, but I did manage to capture a few photos :o)
