*deep breath* tomorrow's the day!

I was supposed to go hunting on New Year's Eve, but couldn't catch the pony in time...so now, we're going tomorrow! My first time ever, and I don't know if he's ever been before, so green ribbons all around. I even have my proper jacket now, although I'll be wearing black breeches (they're much warmer than my cream ones, and don't have a huge hole in them in an embarrassing place). Any last-minute advice??

Sadly no advice, but just wanted to say I hope you have a fantastic time - report needed afterwards! :grin:

Make sure the bath water is hot and there is some nice beverages for afterwards and iboprofen ++ for the aches and pains, Kick on!!!!!!

Ibuprofen, good idea! Maybe I'll take some before going; it's supposed to help prevent soreness.

My biggest worry is the pony stopping and me flying headfirst into something, because he's not a confident jumper...then again, we're supposed to be following the non-jumpers this time! And maybe with a lead, he'll actually jump a log or two.

OK.
Jacket: check.
Warm tight sweater for under jacket: check.
Lunch: check.
Chocolate: check.
Banana for nerves: check.
Tail brush (was inexplicably taken home after X-mas show): check.
Camera: check.

Everything else is at the yard!
I'm ready to go catch the pony!

I posted a thread on it a bit higher! The "Back, alive, with a huge grin" thread.
