Ok, so I woke up every hour to look at the clock, no… it’s not time to get up yet…finally at 4am I gave up and got up! I was ready by 4:30am so went down to the big top where the truck was waiting. The horses came out looking wide eyed and surprised to be out of bed so early. With all the last minute bits and pieces that always have to be done, we didn’t get away til about 6am. First stop, Macca’s drive thru in the truck with the gooseneck! It didn’t quite work so Susie had to jump out get our food from the window.
A good 7 or 8 hours and few pit stops later, we got to Estes Park Fairground, where the dressage comp was being held. The horses travelled well but looked happy to get off the truck. They ate some lunch in their stalls then after a break Lauren rode them all one after another.
It was a long day, just made it to the hotel in time to get some dinner before the kitchen closed at 9pm. I suppose we could have got room service but we were to hungry and tired to think of it then. Off to sleep.
