Shit Shit Shit

I am scheduled to perform in a horse show today....and I DO NOT want to go. With the mood I am currently in, there is no way my horse and I will get our shit together to give a good showing. I have never done this before, so makes sense to be nervous. The trouble is, not only am I taking my horse to such an event for the first time in both our lives, but we are being coached by one of the craziest "Dressage Queens" I have ever met. She will want everything to be perfect...and I am nothing near perfect.

I haven't informed her Majesty that I have opted to use my own saddle, rather than using her very expensive, professional saddle. I am not wearing the special white britches she wanted for me to wear and my horse is far from "prettied" up. I spent yesterday thinking about getting her ready, but after riding (which didn't go well), washing her legs and attempting to pull her mane, I was done. It's cold outside. My motivation goes "POOF" when I am cold. I want to go home, wrap myself in four blankets, sip some hot cocoa and watch old movies.

I had better find at least a trickle of motivation today...or it is going to be a far longer day than anyone anticipated.
