At 30 (something) I'm just starting in eventing and on top of that bringing along my OTTB with me for the adventure. I don't know who has been learning more, me from him or him from me. I have found myself flip flopping a zillion times over the past few weeks about going to our first combined test. It's just a local schooling event but your blog has really given me a boost and I think we are ready for the plunge. I'm thinking the best thing we can do for our first time out is to go in w/o expectations and just learn as much as we can from the experience. Thanks for writing ur blog, I've found myself laughing out loud a few times while reading them (always quite fun in my VERY quiet cubicle farm of an office). Congratulations on Sugar and your latest accomplishment and I can't wait to read more about ur adventures. <br />mbyrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17096645260008038034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8473818481772038752.post-74722249501854608362012-09-05T10:07:46.284-04:002012-09-05T10:07:46.284-04:00Congrats on the achievement!

But I have found at events there are always those people who may not know you but say the right thing at the right time.<br /><br />I am glad you are ok after your fall.

Although, I didn't actually know it was you till the last fence. All the sudden it dawned on me. That is Sugar, (whom I only know from your blog). I felt like I had discovered a celebrity and told several people around me, "that is Suzanne and Sugar<br />Well done! Glad to see you in this neck of the woods. HeidiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
