Our riding club had a small do with dressage and jumping last spring, and I wanted to participate. But the nerves I had! So I thought up a good idea that would make me feel OK and give the spectators a laugh. I found my carrot/pumpkin costume and started in that.

Hi Droopy, glad to finally put a face with the name. It is really great that you met the challenge with a light heart and a laugh.

Your horse is beautiful too.

I look like a giant on that poor horse. :lol: But I'll blame it on the costume. I like orange, yellow, red, green and other bright colours on my tops and I wear them disregarding fashion.

Thank you all. I had fun, and it shows. I'd like to know what the horse thought, though.
