The weekend in the TC competing at Dressage
We have been doing it for 8 years now in the Lance and the last few with a Diesel F350 Dually. Something always throws us a curve but it always works out well. This trip was no exception. I was working a medical standby in the Lance and another horse show when the fridge stopped working right on AC, propane operation was fine. Some internet research pointed in the direction of a failed power board so I ordered one from "the Norcold guy" on Sunday it arrived on Wednesday and I swapped it in for the old one in about 20 minutes. I just toook photos of the wiring so that I could make sure they all matched.
it worked perfectly and the fridge temps stayed where the should have all weekend.
Ruth took off on Thursday morning with the horse in tow from just east of the San Francisco Bay to just South of Sacramento to the Rancho Murietta Equestrian Center. She just beat the approaching storm. I would follow with the dogs when I finished work on Friday night.
On Friday there were rain squalls but the Arenas are covered so all the horses and riders stayed reasonably dry. I work outdoors and was in a full rain suit all day. Ruth Competed at US Dressage Federation's Fourth level test 3 ( most difficult fourth level test) there was heavy rain, wind and hail and in the middle of her test a fence blew down. She still ended up in first place which the best score seh and here horse had ever gotten at fourth level a 70.111%
The storm let up when I headed out in my other truck with the dogs
I got there in about two hours, not bad for a Friday Night
Saturday morning while taking the horse for it's morning walk I snapped this shot of Ruth , her horse Wyleigh and our rig in its RV spot
This is the Barn where we kept our horses during the show it was quite nice
The main competition arena
Again Ruth had a great ride and won her Fourth Level Test 3 class with an even better score of 71.444%. She made the decision after this ride that it was time to move up to the International Level Tests starting in two weeks at one of our local shows.
The weather started to change
Thunderheads moved in
we had some big thunder claps
But we were done riding and Ruth was all smiles
Sunday Morning I hooked up the trailer. It was my turn to haul the horse. Ruth would drive back in the other truck as my wingman grabbing lanes on the freeway to let me make easy lane changes
Torklift 48" supertruss with a Huskey WD hitch
Walking Wyleigh to the trailer
It's nice to be able to monitor the horse in the trailer as we go down the road
Why I have 4x4 the trailer unloading area at our home barn was a soft bog
the rig
Most excellent weekend...but I'm going snow camping next weekend.
