This weekend I'll be attending the WEC West Coast Training Session . My friend has been named to the National Training list and asked me to crew for her . I'll try and keep track of what's going on to report back , as a crew I'll attend special crew clinics to learn how to be a FEI crew member . I'm not sure if I'll be able to take pictures but will take my pocket camera in case I can .

I told my dressage coach I was moving up to FEI but had to admit it was for my ability to stay up all night and carry buckets and not for my riding

Sounds like fun!

Do you ever do anything easy??? You don't run a mile, you run 30. You don't crew at a horse show, you crew at an all-nighter. You live in NV where the weather can go from one extreme to another... My idea of a busy weekend is having a riding lesson Sat and going to a ML baseball game Sun - CL's busy weekend - Running a marathon one day and showing in a horse show on the next!


Does doing something like sipping Mai Tais on a sandy beach in Hawaii even interest you?

Crazy, crazy Comstock! My kinda cowgirl!

Have fun!

Not really but I do dream about coming over and trying on shoes at Bloomingdales .

You know the old saying "There's plenty of time to sleep when you're dead " I have to live that while I can . Just you wait a couple years until you cross over into your next decade and you'll get a little weird too

Here is the final selection for WEC Malaysia next month . When I was at the clinic in July there was speculation most if not all of the horses would be from the East because of the humidity and it looks like only one made it from the West . I wish I could remember if I saw the West Coast horse but most went by their stable names and I'm not sure .
