Dressage show

Went to a dressage show this past weekend with my leased horse Jaeger Meister. We got a 61% and second place in Intro A, and 59% and third place in Intro B.

Show Oct. 23, 2010

Also riding with my barn (sixstarstables.com) was Susie on Toby (other red horse), Renee on Trissa (gray arabian) and Caitlin on Paramour (black bay horse).

And a good time was had by all!!!

Hungry, hungry caterpiller

Took these photos a month or so back but wanted to share. I picked up a dill plant for my herb potter and it had an unexpected and voracious friend. He started eating up that dill quicker than it could grow and he was promptly asked to leave in search of other delectables (I put him on my equally voracious rosemary bush since they seemed well-matched). 

I think I had him ID'd as a black swallow tail caterpillar. Never did get to see him transform into a butterfly, but he made a pretty neat looking guy.

Also, tiny bugs are really hard to get good pictures of. Those photos were the only good ones out of like 20! Thank goodness for digital camera! 

First Class HR

HR made FS1 today and I got to put the pins on his hat. His captain was really proud of him and said that he was a good leader and always goes a step beyond. He also said he was good in the kitchen (all stuff I already know! :) ). Anyway, I'm real proud of him and I could tell he was really proud of himself (as he should be).
