Absolute highlight of the weekend? Being able to have long, hot showers all by myself 3 days in a row!! Being a Mom and a wife, sometimes it's the little things that make the biggest difference.
Anyways, had a retarded good time with my very good friends, Renate, Selena <3, Michelle, and a lot of other people I haven't seen in quite a while. There were even more that I didn't get a chance to sit and talk with, although I would have loved to.
Ritchie handled himself like a gentleman, so proud of my little man! He became good friends with Selena's famous Fjords; Bergen Simon and Bergen Seepo!
Selena Dickmann had wonderful crowd-pleasing performances with her boys! Her Roman Riding was just AWESOME!!! Along with Selena, the X-Dream Team also has Darcy, who is horse handler extraordinaire! Had such a blast hanging out with these ladies.
Friday and Saturday nights I went over to my sidesaddling buddy's place for the night (and a LOT of wine) and hot tubbing. We had a sidesaddle play day as she asked me to bring Plonk (my 1915 Champion and Wilton saddle) with me.
I also had the opportunity to spend some time with the Performance Standardbred booth. My friend Charlene and her boy Leo (Westosterone) were part of the demos, and also participated in the Johnathan Field clinic series. It was so awesome to see how far they've come together <3
And the Jackie Johnson Trick Training Clinics were fantastic, as always. I got some really good tips on the trick training I'm working on with Norton, and where to go next with them.
Of course, I'm planning to go back next year. If you're in Alberta, BC or Saskatchewan, I would recommend you make plans to do the same!
