In honor of Rolex Dressage rides (and nothing of note from my own trips to the barn...) here's a Hey Girl from my very own boy. I think I drafted this last summer (obviously I was still riding dressage tests... but I don't think I ever posted it? did I? If I did I'm sure I repeat myself at least every six months on other items anyway....)
The Boy was/is still learning about how to read Dressage Score Sheets (and also how to score derby rounds!), but when
deciphering one of P2's old dressage tests, The Boy took a
particular liking to the term "use of the aids." He's taken to
asking me "how well I'm using my aids" and "so, were you more effective
with using my aids today?"
Helpful.

Hey Girl - Trailer
Yes, this actually happens. And when it *does* happen, usually he drags out my mats and pressure washes those separately too. And wipes the horse snot off the inside of the windows. Any shop-vacs the tack area...
Gem, right?

"Hey Girl" in Real Life
There's a fine line between bragging outright and "appreciating what you've got." I've learned (sometimes not so gracefully) that there are acceptable things to outwardly celebrate "My spouse is loving and supportive!" "My horse is sound!" "I got a promotion!" "It's SUMMER!"
And then there are things that people are less interested in hearing "My four year old horse is schooling is already schooling Fourth Level!" "Man, I'm running out of space for all my fabulous tack!" "Oh this? This is just another prototype CWD sent me, gosh I already have so many of these things..." etc, etc and so on.
I know I'm probably flirting with the line here, but I'm pretty sure that since I am totally-completely-entirely aware of how bass ass my husband is with the horse thing, I might as well share it.
Oh yeah, and we're on vaca this week, so since I'll have no horsey updates (aside from stalking River Grove Farm for a glimpse of Brentina out in pasture...) I leave you with these - A series of my own "Hey Girl" moments with my one and only Boy. Shamelessly stolen from Marissa's clever Ryan Reynolds , but hopefully with the added twist of... well, being true (mostly).
Don't hate me. And yes - I will hire him out on a per show basis. :)
XO!
