Out first trial in St. Louis was a bit of a bust. Saturday I forgot all of my medications for my RA at home; not even a bloody Tylenol - so I spent the day in PAIN. And I had major ring conflicts. I was walking Mikey's Excellent Standard course while they were walking our course in Open Jumpers. And then while we were running our Standard course (which I totally screwed up) they were calling for Mikey in the Jumpers ring. So we literally ran from one ring to the other and ran the Jumpers course (which we also blew) and then I ran to get Holly and ran back and ran the Jumpers course with her (yeah, that didn't go so well either).
Sunday was only marginally better. No ring conflicts, but I managed to forget the Jumpers course with Mikey (maybe walking the course doesn't really me help all that much). I remembered the course for Holly, and she managed to get a 95 and her first Open leg. Yip eeee?
It was a much better weekend overall for both my dad (in Houston, obviously) - (yay, Meg finished her Novice Jumpers title in fine style - 19 seconds and change for first place) and for Nicki (here in St. Louis) over at Borderblog (go here and here). It was really nice to meet Nicki (and Legend!) in person. Nice and. . . strange. Kind of like meeting a character from a book you've been reading. . .
What can I say, a lot of things are just - off - here in St. Louis. Nothing 'fits' or feels comfortable yet.
Here is where the last batch of pics from Christmas (yes, I know it's the first week of February) were supposed to be. I loaded them and then came back to change something, and they're gone. Grrrr! It's time for me to go to bed (I get up at 4:40 am), so I'll try again another day.

We missed you the previous Saturday. Was looking forward to meeting you. Congrats on Holly's leg.
Congrats on Holly's jumpers leg!
Sorry about the weekend, believe me, it just happened a couple weekends ago, everything was just off kilter!
Syd is going to be entered in the agility trials at the Lake St. Louis Equestrian Center at the end of February. Hopefully we'll see you there! - Sarah
The first six months we lived in Springfield I missed EVERYTHING about columbia-but mostly my dog training group. But then we made new friends and found a new agility club and started to feel at home here. Hopefully you will do the same! I'll be back in STL at the end of Feb-maybe I"ll see you there. Do you need a vet in STL-I know several if you do...
