"The horse in gait and temper turned out perfection-all spring and spirit, a joyous animal. All his ways are those of an animal brought up without curb, whip, or spur, trained by the voice and used in Kindness." -Isabella Bird (1831-1904)

Blue Ridge Gypsy Classic Show
It is Saturday night in Ashville, NC. The air is cool, the day has been an experience, and tomorrow is the last day for this event. Though the second event of the year for us, we were almost not here! Two blowouts, loss of trailer lights, temperatures in the 100's..plus short fuses! all contributed to a tense mood. On the up side, the clinics were awesome and worth every penny of the $175 per person. Today's classes went quickly ....lots of happy winners. We had some difficulties when Cracker decided he felt like a new man and got frisky, would not stand still, was improperly harnessed which had the potential of a distaster at which time we scratched him from the class. Not enough handling was the consensus, though it was unusual behavior from him. My break from all the drama came when my sister and niece took me off to Ashville town center for dinner. The setting for this show is amazing and Robin and her crew are even more so...many thanks to her for a beautiful show. And good night one and all from a very tired lady!
