Time flies, whether you're having fun or not! 6 years ago, I said goodbye to Promise. It was, and is, one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, but I still don't question my decision to let her go.
I'm scanning photos as time allows, so here is a blast from the past in tribute to my heart horse:

Night jumpers looks like a lot of fun! Thanks for sharing all your wonderful photos of Promise
ReplyDeleteIt was fun! We never finished the course, always got eliminated in the first several fences for refusals...I think due to shadows from the spotlights. As the years went by and I saw what others wore for the class, I had a lot more fun with it. The last year we did it, I wore a purple sequin shirt with black breeches, and decked Promise out in purple pad, wraps, etc and even got purple glitter hoof polish for her! Then she refused the 3rd fence 3x and it was all for nothing :-P Of course, that year, my trainer fell off at the same fence, so that might've had something to do with it, too, LOL
