I can never remember - in 10 years - of having such a swing in weather. If you recall, we cancelled week 1's Tuesday night classes due to a blizzard. Today, check it out. It's week 4 and we could have cancelled tonight for either temperature (officially 97) or heat index (I don't want to know:) At one point we were calculating the "wind chill" of the breeze going through the arena. Please pardon the cobwebs on the arena thermometer - and also consider it was hanging on the west wall. Maybe it was broken ? Wishful thinking :)
The riders and drivers were all in good shape, the horses seemed quite comfy and eager to come into the arena and the instructors had some tricks up their sleeves. It was a good night to go over the parts of the saddle and work on transitions and reining at the walk. I always applaud the volunteers but today a VERY SPECIAL thank you goes out to our dedicated bunch - three of whom were newcomers. The driving class ended with a trip to the wash rack for a shower.
Thank you all for a very nice evening.
