Final show prep with Lucy,

So I managed to get a quick ride in on Saturday with Lucy, not a whole lot done but working around the poles set outside.  On Tuesday when I went out after work she had thrown a shoe and was dead lame.  *sigh*.  Thankfully the farrier was only a couple of hours away, and was able to come the next day on his way home.

We had a little ride last night more just to get us both back in the saddle then we had a real workout tonight.  I also got to the chiropractor on Wednesday and my hip was out of place.  Suddenly I can sit square in the saddle again!  So Lucy and I are both ready for the show now.  Our ride tonight was awesome, I'm so happy with where she is at right now.

Although I'm really sad that next week is our last show together (for now) I am excited to start riding Oscar again and pushing my limits a little more.  And D and I will start Chilly with me to *hopefully* have me riding her by January.  I'm also hopeful that I'll get to ride Rusty maybe a couple of times this winter as well.  Good things to focus on and to keep me from being too sad about Lucy.  I mean its not like she's sold or moving away!  Shes just having a baby :)
