WHOA Dispatch
To Everyone that
Shows Horses...
WHOA member Susan Shemwell Randall shared
this with the Association and we though it appro-
priate to pass along to all our other horse showing
members.
Not everyone is cut out to horse show.
It’s long days and short nights.
It’s hurry up and then wait.
It’s hours and hours of the same thing over and
over.
It’s extremely hot and humid weather one day
and then, freezing cold the next.
It’s tired feet.
It’s eating whatever you can hold easily while you
are doing four other things.
It’s purple fingernail s and wrinkled hands.
It’s being covered in dust, fly spray, hoof polish
and face glow.
It’s not glamorous at all!
It is however . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Learning to perservere when you don’t think you
can.
Learning humility.
Learning sportsmanship.
Learning responsibility.
Learning to run wide open on no sleep.
Learning to put off your needs first.
Learning patience.
Learning respect.
Learning what dedication is.
But most of all
IT’S NEVER A DULL MOMENT!
Here’s to everyone that horse shows!
