Area VI!!!Today it actually started feeling like we were at a competition. Our coach, Dayna Lynd Pugh, our chef Shannon Lilley, our vet Laura Werner and our two grooms Scott Kuhlman and Amanda arrived! We rode early and had lessons. Chloe felt great! We then went on another long walk and I swear once you think you have seen the whole property, you haven't! I think maybe i got lost a few times, I was approached by more then one person saying "excuse me miss you seem to have lost your way." Whoops. The weather started out nice and sunny and a bit warm and within ten minutes it was lightning and thunderstorms. It alternated like that throughout the day, so different then California!! We spent the rest of the day hanging the rest of our banners, decorating our golf carts and checking out the shopping vendors (I'm guilty!). We had in-barns today and all the horses looked great. We also had our first mandatory meeting and it made me that much more anxious for the competition to start! Howard Simpson gave a great little talk. To sum it up he said that "yes some of us will receive medals this weekend and some of us may not have such good luck, but we have all worked so hard to get to this point and with that said we are all champions." It was so true. Looking at everyone on the area VI team, we have worked so hard to get to this point as I'm sure everyone has. The fact that we are here says a lot.
I left Chloe a little earlier tonight and I'm sure she is relieved to not have me there fussing over her every second. I think this may be one of my only chances to get to sleep at a decent time so im going to take advantage of it!!
Tomorrow we will have lessons again in the morning and then we have our trot up! That means the competition will have begun!! I will keep you all posted on the jog and hopefully have some good pictures :)
xoxo Kelly and Chloe

You all look very professional, even if the golf carts are a bit... ornate. Team spirit! Your mare looks perfectly fine for a horse that just flew across the country. Good luck, and let the games begin!
