It was hard last year to go and help out at a show when I had wanted to be there with my gelding (who passed away before we got to show). It sucks. But it passes.

Not going to tell you to get over it, because I know you will, and imo you are 100% absolutely allowed to be sad and mad and whatever else you want to feel about it at least for a little while.Heather - The Graduated Equestrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07681676187300620940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-83025717985625994322016-05-26T11:44:19.120-06:002016-05-26T11:44:19.120-06:00$400 is a lot of moohla to go to a show when you d...$400 is a lot of moohla to go to a show when you don't know for sure (not that we ever do) how it's going to go. But seriously, thank you for volunteering; I know it's not the easiest thing to go to a show and help out when all you want to do is be the one showing. Soon enough man, soon enough.
