How Long Does It Take for Horse Show Readiness

How long does it take to get ready for the casual and relaxed April Kansas City fox trotter club gaited horse Spring Show?

SCREAM!

My answer is “two weeks of full time focused planning along with 24 hour continual worry”.

Tomorrow is trim, shave and a real bath. Lucky Star will not be a willing partner when we start the spa treatment. He is so low key about everything except bath shower. We’ve been taking little mini showers together when the weather is warm enough. When I say we take showers together, wetness happens to both of us when I try to give him a bath!

Clipping: Horse clippers are alien beasts that go zzzzzzzzzzzzz!  The alien Z beast will touch Lucky Star’s fetlocks, bridle path and worse is his face whiskers. Maybe even his ears will be defined by the “z beast clippers”!
