Getting ready

I learned that apparently the group of people who need no go down on Thursday night includes me, I did a lot of pack last night but I still needed to take today off from school to work at the barn. I'll get my packing list my in the links as soon as possible. Besides getting pack getting involves a lot of work. For a Morgan show the tail which we put up in braids because they are so long, needs to be taken down and be picked out which means they are washed and tangled by hand. Their hooves need to be polished and blacked, to polish them you sand them with a hand sander mouse using three different grades of sand paper. Then using black shoe polish you black them in and cover that all with a special hoof polish that makes them all black and shiny. Finally Pops needs a bath which in this weather means we both end of freezing because I cant seem to manage to wash him and keep myself dry. So tonight I'm going down with Dawn in the camper and will be setting up with Katie and Jen.
