Slowly I turned..

to Ruth and said you drive..

I loaded up everything. feed, hay bales, tack, horses for the test drive. Ruth drove because she is going to have to do it solo to championships because I am stuck at work and she has to be happy with the ride.

I would have liked to have had the air bags installed to raise the back end a few inches but the tech blew out his back on a 5th wheel hitch.

So with a superhitch and just upper and lower stable loads in place (otherwise the truck is stock) off we went. Ruth loved the way the truck handled, Surface streets, boulevards and freeways. I just chilled riding shotgun, feeling the ride, and keeping my mouth shut unless she asked me a truck question of which there were only one or two. Success.



Airbags will go in after Championships in a week or so.

    never go in thinking it will be a cakewalk and that you will win. Go in with the attitude that its going to take your best ride to even be competitive. And yes more often than not she has won but not always and 3 of the four top ranked horse and rider combos in the country will be competing in her class. She is currently ranked 3rd in the US
