Show Season has begun

Yesterday was the first horse show in Punta Gorda. Devin rides Tye in these shows. Because it was the first we had no idea to know what time to arrive so we showed up around 10AM. The morning was hot but at least cloudy but the sun began to shine full force around noon and it was HOT!!! Last minute we decided to switch what classes Devin did (she wanted to jump bigger and Tye easily can) which required us to wait even longer for her classes to start. So we sat and sat and waited. Punta Gorda has a nice facility for these local shows but they are lacking trees of any size and hence there is no shade unless you are lucky enough to find a small slice of it behind your trailer. So did I mention it was HOT!!! At around 3:30 it was finally time so Devin entered two of her six classes and then overheated and ran out of "gas". So we packed it up and went home. She ended up with a third and a second. Pretty good I think especially for how HOT everyone was. Hopefully it will cool down before the October show and before my first show in mid-October at Lee County.
