The theme of this post is water! lots and lots of water….

The wet weather started in wellington. It didn’t start to rain till LD was about to do his thing in the hazards.  Poor Little dude was all tacked and ready to go when the heavens opened up and his class got canceled!

Overall, everyone did well down there. Paul drove Buddy & he was on his very best behavior. They brought home a 2nd and a 6th place in the pleasure classes.  I did drive Miss Bunny in cones. We did okay. We got eliminated in the 1st cones course because I have been spoiled by LD regarding cones and turning. But, We got 5th place in the progressive cones. Sali and Jack did really good as well + plus they put on quite a show in cones. hopefully soon, i’ll be able to post the video link for the wellington classic cones massacre.  It was well worth the trip just for that…

But otherwise the weather has not been cooperating with us, especially for shows. It poured when we were down in wellington and this weekend we were supposed to show but we got a lot of rain in Vero.

This is a picture of how much water is in the pastures as of this morning. the fence in this section of the pasture is 48″ tall.  the water is up at around 3ft! the driveway to the barn is under about a foot of water. I think the horses are going stir crazy already! I can’t blame them. I don’t think I would want to be stuck in my room and then only walked around the barn a couple times while my room is being cleaned. So far, the only horse that has wanted to do anything in the water is LD. He has been going in and out of it during the day while we are there.

Hopefully, it will start to recede in the next couple days and everyone can get back to work.

Time will tell…..
