Crochet Me Crazy

Well, Princess didn't end up getting a bath today. We went down to the barn and decided not to do it because the barn was open and there was no heat. We had hot water but it is so cold today, soaking her to the skin in this weather wasn't worth it. Then, we decided to take her to the local show barn where they say the horse show is. We were all pretty amazed and disgusted when we saw where they are planning on having the horse show. It's just a small grassy area behind the show barn. The grass was up to our knees. Of course, Princess is going to try to eat grass. We were amazed and thinking surely they are going to at least mow the grass??? It's not that big of a space either. I'm concerned about 23 horses in there. Princess didn't do as good here as she did at the arena. Praying that this goes okay tomorrow. I hope Alison is one of the last horses to go in so she doesn't have to stand there in all that grass trying to get Princess not to eat as long. Well, they did start mowing as we left so at least the grass won't be at her knees. When we got back to the stables, Alison practiced stopping and working with Princess in grass, which we normally never do. You don't expect to have those type of conditions showing a horse. When Princess would try to eat she would stop her and circle her if she got an attitute until she stood there with no problem. Let's hope she remembers this tomorrow! Alison won't be able to circle her during the show.
