The Sunday Post and Stacking the Shelves – The Flood Edition
I’m still trying to catch up from the Buckeye Morgan show. The show is a Friday – Sunday show, with a packed schedule, and it didn’t end until about 4pm on Sunday. Lots of early mornings and late evenings, with little time to leave the fairgrounds. After loading up the cars on Sunday, we still had an over 4 hours drive home! I didn’t get much reading accomplished, and because I was so tired by the end of the show, I didn’t get much squeezed in over the week either. It took a while to recover from this fun show!
Elle and Pixie both had phenomenal shows. Elle was very steady under saddle, and she was beautiful in harness. She finished the show the Classic Pleasure Driving Champion, and I was so glad I could watch her class, knowing that Sarah is a more than capable driver. It was enjoyable being able to watch her during the show, and I want to give a shout out to Sarah for her skillful handling of my horse. Thanks, Sarah!
Pixie had her best show yet. We ended up getting a Reserve in the English Pleasure Amateur division, and she was a very willing mount, always eager to please. I’m looking forward to next year, and I’m planning on taking both of them to Morgan Grand Nationals.
Monday was a weird, weird weather day. We had a strong storm dump over 4 inches of rain an hour on Metro Detroit, and it caused HAVOC! Most freeways flooded and were closed for days after, and thousands of people had basement flooding. My brother had 3 inches of sewer water back up in his, which meant that everything down there was a loss. It didn’t rain as much where I are, so we thankfully didn’t have any flooding, other than in the street, but many of my friends did. I’m thankful that all of them are safe, and upset that so many of them had to throw so much away. Municipalities arranged for extra garbage pick up, and the mountains of trash in front many houses was staggering.
