I had at first thought I was crazy to sign up for a horse show when one of the temps last week was 105 on our back porch and stayed around that for a couple of days. Then the tropical storm and a cool front brought some very pretty weather around so that was straightened out. Then I knew I was crazy to go to a horse show when we were not getting water out of our well. Called the pump guy and he could not be here until Friday afternoon. My dear hubby said go ahead and he would stay behind and take care of getting water to 20 something horses and take care of the pump. So Chasta and I went to DuQuoin, Illinois without my husband or mother (who was sick from an infection, they both looove to go to horse shows). Then I really felt guilty when we get there and it was the most beautiful weather anyone could ask for in August, down in the 60's at night and it did not go over the 80's during the day. Also found out our well is going dry and we have to dig a new one
I told Jay he could write a bad country song, his family left him alone and the well went dry!
It was a very nice show (it usually is), lots of the usual friendly faces and for us the last show this year til Nationals. It was well worth going tho, our yearling over stallion "Erica's Big City's Bailey's On Ice" received a Reserve Jr Champion under one judge and our yearling over mare "Curry's Estrellita" received Jr Champion under both judges and Grand Champion under both judges!
Wish us luck that the well guy is able to get out here to drill this week, he said if things did not come together right it would be next week
