Katchi and I made it home safe and sound Monday night - the old truck and I managed to shave off 45 minutes on our return trip, so it only took us just under 12 hours! And that included a stop at a West Virginia gas station where I had an interesting conversation with a man with 3 teeth about whether Katchi had any "Morgan horse" in him - yep, I'm sure, not a Morgan. That was just one of many moments when I really wished Katchi wasn't my sole travel companion! But, the good news is that Katchi and I successfully completed a 12 hour road trip, and we're still speaking. I guess that says something about the strength of our relationship!
I have a lot of thoughts about the T3D experience that I want to share, but that will have to wait until my lazy weekend. But, for now, thanks to my lovely mom who made a quick call Saturday night to purchase all the T3D photos of me and Katchi - I have photos! And for those looking for a little humor today, I came up with my 5 favorite quotes of the event ...
“I did a one-star long format in 1994.” [Cherie] “Wow, that was 17 years ago! I was born that year!” [P3D rider]
“He’s fine.” [The answer to any and all questions at the 1st horse inspection.]
“He lost a shoe yesterday.” [The answer to any and all questions at the final horse inspection.]
“Do you want a beer?” [Every groom on Saturday night, to every rider with a stop on XC plus a few others.]
“My God. Are you seriously braiding me again?” [Every horse in the 3 day]
And now photos from Xpress Foto - great pics!!

What steeplechase looks like when a horse doesn't understand to go THROUGH the brush!!
