To be honest, I didn’t even realize the three concealed triplets when I was mentally calculating.

And I only riichi’d to lure them into a false sense of security of dropping honor tiles since it was such an early Riichi. Wanted them to think I had a “normal” wait.

Last February, as a somewhat last minute decision, I took my mare to a local combined driving event. We did both the combined test (dressage and cones) and the driving trial (dressage, cones, and marathon).

It was such a great learning experience for the both of us. I am so proud of my mare and how she took everything in stride. This was only her second time out in big wide open spaces, I had taken her to a playdate on a cross country course before and she was a rockstar there too. We don’t have the facilities to truly practice everything and I was in a chronic illness flare right before this so we went in with the mindset of have fun, be safe, and don’t eliminate. So we accomplished all of our goals.

I can’t wait to try more of this sport out, and I think this little mare is going to become something special. Also, look at her little pony ears!!!

If anyone is wondering, she’s a Morgan. She started life as a Park horse, stepped down into Hunter Pleasure and had a successful young horse career there, before becoming my carriage horse. I will sing the praises of Morgans everywhere.
