It had been quite a while since TTC was able to host an English Hunter Fun Show. So the June 13 show was eagerly anticipated. The day finally arrived promising great weather, and it was, The temperature was warm and the humidity relatively low. The arena was dry and dusty. What a contrast from three weeks earlier . . .
On Saturday June 6, I saw a lot of “successful competition”, also “having a good time and having fun”, and “putting in 100 percent”. Then, towards the end of the day, there were four consecutive events where two young riders displayed all of the above, while they traded first and second places. Their riding styles were very different. One rode a tall horse with power and smooth control, while the other on a smaller mount had speed and agility, especially in the turns . . .
Most of us have tried really hard to be patient and persevere during these difficult times. One ‘patience milestone’ was reached on May 23rd with the first horse show at TTC in over two months, due to the COVID-19 restrictions. The TTC organizers published a set of guidelines that required masks be worn at the secretary’s stand and in the tack shop, and a limit on the size of groups of people. . . .

Loose Horse – Springdale Racecourse 2014, Camden SC
On a hot July day, I stepped outside the studio and something landed on my shoulder. At first, I thought it might be an angry wasp because I’d seen a few. Rather, it turned out to be a friendly butterfly . . .
The Carolina Renaissance Festival 2019 is a full day of entertainment and pageantry as history comes alive with hundreds of costumed characters re-creating a 16th Century European Marketplace. There is non-stop fun for all ages. Music, comedy, theater, games, and rides. Not to mention hand-made arts and crafts, and artisan demonstrations . . .

I frequently check with the Secretary Stand during a horse show. They inform me of sign-ups and other useful information. So, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Lynne and Angela who ensure that TTC shows run smoothly. They always impress me as they go about their business . . .
Hillcrest Farms hosted an HT/CT/D show on September 14, 2019. Thank you, Janet and Dan, for another enjoyable and well-patronized event. Incidentally, I’m sure many visitors appreciated the cooler weather early in the day. In contrast, as I write this, the forecast for the next 10 days going into October, is all upper-80’s and 90’s. So much for cooler days . . .
