Just spoke to the girls about an hour ago. Hot today, very humid, but so far, no rain since they have been there. Tina's boyfriend's little 5 year old son is there to drive for youth judging today. He is so excited! They say little Dillon is "wired". He shows in driving and jumping tomorrow, and he can't wait to jump.
This is Dillon's first year to show, or to even be around the horses, and he has taken to them like a duck to water. Watch the little red-headed rascal in youth classes, and see how enthused he can be! He gets so excited sometimes he forgets to go to sleep, then wakes up cross and tired and whiney. Typical five year old. We knew he was going to like the horses when Nata let him lead a yearling filly in a sale ring last fall to show how gentle and easy going she was, and when Nata, (right beside him all the way) reached out to take the filly from he told her "No, I've got this" and wouldn't let her have the filly till she was sold and back outside the ring. I just hope his love and admiration for horses last him a lifetime. Oh, and you should see how cute he is in his little tuxedo!
