Anxiety? What anxiety? Just because I set off for NJ with a new horse, new harness adjustments, new carriage, new trailer and new truck all by myself is no reason for anxiety. Actually it turned out that there really wasn't a reason. Best and I safely made our way to NJ and back, despite bad weather and construction. I made one more harness adjustment at the show but was otherwise fine in that area. I did use my marathon harness instead of our leather harness as I need longer traces on the leather harness. The new cart did well, I have different shafts ordered but otherwise it looked okay.
Best did okay too. He was much more nervous than I thought he'd be but he still managed to get two firsts, a second, two thirds, a fourth and a fifth place. The wins were in obstacles, he's just starting to figure out what that is about. I wasn't overly pleased with his inability to stand still during the line-up but he'll get there.
Congratulations go out to our SPHO-Ohio friends who traveled to NJ for the first time. All American Legacy (Big Al) won the National Championship in Halter against a very tough crowd. I think all total Ohio went home with 1 National Championship and 3 Reserves. Not bad at all for a first trip!
