We are ONE WEEK away from our big clinic with Olympian Kasey Perry Glass!!!

Naturally, Hampton pulled a shoe. And popped a splint.

But since it seems to never stop raining in KY anymore, the ground is soft so I really don't feel bad about working Hampton in the soft outdoor. #ruthless. He is totally sound without the shoe AND with his splint. I got a concoction from the vet to treat his splint with, which is hard and cold and doesn't bother him. And the farrier is coming out Thursday to replace the shoe.

Looks good this year coming out of winter! #booty Not sure why he looks so butt high tho

But otherwise I seriously CANNOT WAIT.

And after the Kasey clinic, we are going up to Indiana to FHF for a couple of lessons from my long-time instructor.. Good time for a little boot camp before show season. I always come back so inspired with new tools. (My home instructor is awesome too! Their coaching actually really compliments one another)

So I should have plenty of blog fodder for a little while! Feels like I haven't had much to post recently.

Oh! I have finally upgraded my tack locker!

Our barn owner built this for me, and I installed all the fixings. I actually put the door on, too. I'm just a regular Miss Fix It Now basically.

Have a few more things I want to install but holy cow it's nice to have so much room! I have been living out of my old box that my dad built me 20 YEARS AGO. It has served me well, but I outgrew it a long time ago really. And now it can retire to be a storage box.

I am actually using pieces from my dad's workshop and office to spruce up my new locker, so I know he would be most proud of my resourcefulness. lol

Tomorrow we are having a barn clean up day in preparation for the clinic. Here we go!!
