On this horrible, rainy afternoon when I was supposed to be taking Bear to his first cross-country schooling, I’m stuck inside instead. When will this horrible weather ever end?

Lisa and I found an indoor to go to today instead but when I brought Bear in to get ready, he’d pulled a shoe in the insane mud we have. Ahhh! I want to scream.

I’m itching to get out of the ring and to start taking Bear to some shows, and I feel so behind at this point.

OK, rant over. I was able to get to a lesson on Friday at an indoor and he was quite good. We bumped up the fences to close to beginner novice height and he had no problems.

I had my dad video a flat lesson last week and a jump school I did at home, so here’s a short video.

I’m off to The Fork this week, and I’m hoping it will be drier!
