So, so, SO excited about Nationals,,,,,

[Frankie]

Leave for Nationals in just over a week and I am so excited I could just spit!!!!!!

I so love the atmospher in itself,,,,,,,,,you can feel it all in the air!!! Even the dirt smells like Nationals. :bgrin

Can't wait to see many friends and meet new ones!!!

:

Can't wait to spend the week with Brenda and Emily,,,,,,,we always find something to laugh about, even in a driving rain storm at midnight!!!! What great people!

Can't wait to see how Jazz does!!! She has come such a long way this year, we know she is already a champion.

Can't wait to meet my new gelding from Belinda B. and Cross Country Farm. He is a weanling and we have not met face to face yet.

Even looking forward to the 16 hour days with painful legs due to walking on cement all day!!

Heck, I can't wait to make the long and gruelling 13 hour drive!!! :lol:

I have 2 tons of things to do, most the time walking in circles trying to figure which to do first this day.

Just had to say as I am busting at the seams and not sure I'll get through the next week!

We leave late Sunday night, can't wait (but I still have a ton of packing to do). Between Eileen (My Dream Farm) and I (Little Secrets Miniatures) we are taking 9. We have 3 stallions (2 sr A and 1 jr B), 3 geldings (1 jr 1 sr A and 1 jr B) and 3 mares (1 jr A 1 sr A and 1 jr B). We are usually in barn C. See everyone there :saludando:

I am leaving in 8 days

I cannot wait to get there but the school work when I get home is going to be terrible.

 

[JMS Miniatures]

A week from tomorrow and I'll be going too. I've waited so long for this show, so exicited to show my gelding Red in so many new classes this year. However, I'm also looking forward for show season to be overwith.

I can't wait to start working on my new career that I've been in college for. :lol:

See you all next week!

 

[Steph]

I know EXACTLY what your saying!!! I cannot wait either, we leave in 5 days and I can't wait to see old friends, meet new ones, see all the nice horses and SHOP.

Good to know, Alison, I might just be looking you up then if I need it. I look forward to seeing you and Ms THE (I'm sorry I don't remeber getting your name) again!

 

[Getitia]

I agree totally :aktion033: :aktion033: Visiting with friends is as much fun as exhibiting the horses and we look forward to meeting the forum group - safe travels to all :saludando: :saludando:

 

[Enchantress]

I can't wait to get there! Not looking forward to the 30 hour drive, but it'll be great to finally meet some more people and shop. Oh yeah, and show!

So, what's everyone doing right now to prepare? And what should first timers know and bring (besides fans and personal transportation!)

Hey there.... can't wait to meet all of you, too! And you are so welcome.. it will really be nice to show Bob again....

: (He was really one that I hated to sell...

: ) And, I bought ANOTHER new show jacket so will have to see which one looks better with him...

:

I am leaving this Saturday and should arrive somewhere around Tuesday, I think? Jim Curry is hauling my horses to save my arm any problems.. (got the surgery postponed but am still really fighting the numb feeling..) so just driving my truck with the rest of our stuff. And, Alison, THANKS AGAIN for clipping my guys for me... I have NO idea where we are going to be stalled, (talked to Leonard and they had not done the stall charts yet), and between the two of us I think we have 9 stalls, so hopefully not to far away.

It will be great to meet all of you and see some familiar faces.
