It's very hard to believe that it's already the beginning of show season. I just realized *this week* that there's a USDF-recognized show in Huntersville next weekend. Under normal circumstances I would have had this show on my radar all winter for a first rated show of the season. How did I miss it?
I have definitely been feeling the amateur rider's time crunch this year and my riding/training has taken a backseat to work and family duties much more than normal. It's been a challenge to even define a game plan for riding/training, much less follow one! Luckily, it looks like there are a lot of wonderful clinic opportunities (Cloverlea Farms is hosting Axel Steiner, Jennifer Baumert, Beth Baumert, Conrad Schumacher, and Courtney King; NCDCTA is hosting Neil Ishoy; Lighten Up is hosting Jennifer Baumert; Cynthia Payne and South Lake Stables are hosting Bert van Rutten; Joli Cheval regularly hosts Cindy Sydnor; Paul Belasik will be in Tryon) all withing a one-hour or so drive. I'll plan on attending as many of these clinics as possible and will write my notes in the blog. Maybe I'll also aim for a couple of schooling shows or clinics by the end of the summer.
