I have been struggling to get myself into better condition, and this is often how I feel.

Competition Weekend!

I am really excited for this weekend’s competition in Pennsylvania. It is leg four of the Mid-Atlantic Series. I started packing last night, and will finish prepping tonight.
Poe is always ready to kick some ass.

Prep For the End of the Games Season
September 23, 2014
Last night started the real crunch time prep for the last two competitions of the games season. We have the 4th competition in the big team series this coming weekend. And then two weeks after that we have the 5th and final leg of the series.
I set up the games field, and did a little drill work with Poe. I practiced the crap out of Three Pot Flag. I adjusted my speed throughout the race, changing gates up and down at random points throughout the race, including hard stops randomly at cones.
I also gave Poe a modified hunt clip. He is such a good pony to clip. He just stood there looking cute while I buzzed hair off his body. His heavier coat is still growing in, but over the warm weekend he was sweating it up just hanging out in the field. I looked at the forecast for this coming weekend and its suppose to be warm again, so I figured a new do would help him out a little.
Simon on the other hand has not grown in a very thick coat yet, so I just took him for a good hack around the property. I think Ill pull his mane shorter this evening, and try to clean his look up a little.
This is an after photo. But You can’t see the clip line at all.

My friend Rachel Papotnik came out this week and messed around with her camera. These are all raw photos, no editing or cropping of any kind.
Here are some of the ones she took of Simon, and two of Daisy.
I think next time I need to brush Simon up, and probably my own hair too!
