Not every horse show is a Great show personally. Period.
While Mary McCashin always outdoes herself with a wonderfully run show, today's experience has nothing to do with that and more about figuring out the next step. Every human has good days and bad days. Horses are allowed to as well. While some horse trainers may not believe this, it has been said that the horse should perform the same every time with no missteps.
We have had a lot of great shows this year. We have also had our struggles. We try to keep it positive and just keep looking forward and onward to the next step. However, today really said we need to dig a little deeper and figure some other things out.
Ocala was already scheduled for a vet visit 9/26 to get ready for Congress and get his health certificate. We are bumping that up to early in the week so we can make decisions on what is bugging him and hopefully have time to school at home. He does need his teeth floated. It was supposed to be done in the spring but was put off. We are hoping this is the culprit. Pray it is.
Can we always use more outside help? YES! -BUT we have come this far together and we will continue to learn together.
No matter the outcome of today, Ocala is still my best friend and I will do whatever it takes to keep this journey continuing. Never give up. Never lose hope. 💕
