You arrive at the yard ahead of your first competition post lockdown! Youโre in the wash bay plaiting you, when the yard manager comes over, offers you a brew and you have a good old chat about how excited you are to be heading out! ๐ง๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฟ๐๐ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ฒ๐ป๐ด๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต. โฃโฃ

Your horse is ready, your tack is on the lorry and you load your horse! As your jumping into the cab you see a fellow livery pull in, no time to stop for a chat, youโre running late! โฃโฃ
When you arrive at the show, the parking attended directs you in to your parking spot. You tack up and hop on your horse quick sharp (remember, you were late!). As you make your way to the warm up you see your trainer waiting for you by the gate, you get a quick telling off for your time keeping and then she begins to help you warm up!

You complete your test and on exiting the ring notice your good friend has arrived complete with picnic! You head back to the lorry for a debrief. (๐๐๐ฒ๐ป ๐บ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฒ๐ป๐ด๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐)โฃโฃ

The people you have spoken to are the people you have ๐ฒ๐ป๐ด๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ๐ฑ with. They have responded to your questions, liked your actions and share your positivity. โฃโฃ
The livery youโre saw arriving, but didnโt speak to, the parking attendant, the other people in the warm up, the spectators and even the judge are all people you ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฑ. They all saw you and were aware of your presence! โฃโฃ
