Congratulations on your successful show! You and Nikki did great! I hope Nikki is OK. I can relate to the down feeling that follows a show. It always seems anti climatic after wards. I guess it’s the journey getting there that is the rush. Wendy

Thanks everyone. Forgot to mention – I cannot ride Nikki. On Monday (day after the show) I discovered two fist-sized bumps under his tummy, right where the girth goes. No riding until those go away or we figure out what they are.

Danelle – I’m with you on the sudden let down of “getting there” can provide. Go easy on yourself! Maybe a night out with just your husband! Oh and if you need summer childcare ideas, just let me know. I had to keep my son busy full time for 13 years of summers.

I am sorry I missed your show Sunday. Too many gradation obligations – is it July yet? I am so proud of you. I think Kim is right – you worked so hard to get in that first show – I am sure this is just the letdown following the first event. Plus you may really just be tired. This weather doesn’t help either. We need a fun meeting – I have to figure something out for us for June!

Mike thinks you should continue to ride your horse.

Thanks, Kim. I’m sure you’re right. But, for this morning, I’m sitting here eating “Dirt Cake” in accordance with #2.

Congratulations! What an accomplishment! It sounds like you’re just coming down from a big “high” and your body and mind just needs to chill for awhile. Sounds normal to me and I’m sure you’ll be yourself in no time.
