Its the end of February 2010. We had rain and snow all week. It seems like everyone has had enough of this weather, and is getting Spring fever. I try not to get too hopeful, as this is New England. About this time of year I start to think about, and get excited about, the upcoming riding season. My desk/computer is next to a window that looks out at our riding ring, and it is such a tease, calling me to get on a horse and ride! I day-dream about upcoming horse shows, trail rides, gymkhanas, polo matches, and just being outside all day "playing with horses". Every year I tell myself that this will be the year that I ride more often, and try something new. This year I have decided to try playing polo.Last weekend Tom and I participated in the Sweethearts Tournament at Shallowbrook. There were 8 teams of 4. It was very low-key, only walk/trot. Our teammates had never ridden until the night before the game. We didn't make it into the finals, but had a blast. After the game was a fabulous dinner, and awards. We will definately sign-up for next years tournament. Maybe, by then I'll be able to hit the ball!!
