We are done with our Lake Washington weekend. 
The clients had a lot of fun (including braiding their own horses)…
We are now moving to Monroe for the Pacific H/J show this week.
We hope your weekend was fun-filled as well! Come out to watch our riders compete, from Children’s Ponies, thru Juniors. The show begins on Wednesday with Pro-divisions.

My day for the LWSC bridle trails show started off with my alarm going off at 3am on Saturday morning. Too early! Reminded me of my junior years when I would get up in the middle of the night to braid as a way to earn money to help support the horses.
Down I went to the barn to get equipment and ponies loaded in small horse trailer and haul them over to the show. We arrived at 5am when it was just starting to get light out. Krista and I were on clue and Maggie by 6am to school ponies in the show ring. Jenna and Payton arrived with Clare by 6:30 so Payton could organize to show in her scheduled classes by 7:30. Thank heavens for Starbucks and for my Mom delivering it.
After the ponies did their classes I drove them home and then came back for our other riders whose classes went in the afternoon. Of course on the way back I stopped for our second round of Starbucks! We wrapped up around 7pm and once home Payton and I showered and climbed into bed from exhaustion. Back up Sunday morning at 4:15 to repeat the process again and will step right into our show in Monroe next week.
It may not be glamorous but it’s my life and I love it!

Good Luck riders!

The kick off to our 2010 show season was superb! Everyone was very diligent about their training and practice leading into the show and it definitely showed through. I also want to acknowledge those who did some of their own braiding. Although it makes for a long day it is good quality time with your horse.
Our successes ranged from the Short Stirrup all the way up to the Grand Prix. Jil competed in her first Grand Prix and rode fantastic. Thanks to those who came and rooted for her on Saturday night.
So, as we reflect on the shows it’s important you appreciate your triumphs and learn from your struggles. Back to training and practice to continue improving on your riding skills in preparation for your next show. To those who we did not have with us, we look forward to having you with the Archway Team at the upcoming horse shows.
Great Job Everyone!!

♫ Sisters, ♪ Sisters, there were ♫ never such devoted ♪ Sisters….
You can always count on family…..On Tuesday morning at 5:00am. The first day of the second week of our three week run at Monroe it happened. Brandan let me know that Corey had been up all night with the stomach flu and although she would most likely try to go to the show he was making an executive decision that she remain in bed and get well.
Now, I am a morning person. I accomplish my best work in the morning but I have to admit it took a few jolting minutes for me to wrap my head around this…..what am I going to do? We have four horses ready to show today and no rider?? How do I come up with a solution at 5am??? Is this something I can GOOGLE???
Ok, I thought, GET A GRIP. There is always a solution if you go one step at a time…1st solve the immediate problem of getting horses in the ring this morning ..
KRISTA!
Call KRISTA!
(Krista volunteers each Tuesday at Evergreen Emergency Room).
So I pick up my problem solving iphone and dial Krista. She picks up right away with a slight tone of concern.
“Corey’s sick”, I begin. I’m not even able to finish the sentence when Krista interupts:
“I’ll call and cancel Evergreen and I’ll head right out to the show..I have all my show clothes here and I will take care of the horses, see you there and bring me Starbucks”.
And that was that.
In her calm emergency focus she took over for Corey and got the job done. The horses were wonderful, Corey got well and I was pretty organized all day.
Ok, I’ll admit Corey was texting us by noon with additional instructions but hey, we were great (or that is Krista was great).
And so as the sayng goes ” the show must go on.”
Thank you Krista for being there you are the BEST!!!
Love Clare

Fun fact for the day – In the movie the song “Sisters” was sung by Rosemary Clooney only and multitracked for the movie.
