thanks for your opinion, and I think I'll stay home today. I already feel bad enough for knowing her horse's name, and all... no need to add more guilt.

Also, I've been thinking about the last few times I went to one of these events, I always ended up suicidal because I missed competing with my own horses so much. Riding is the only thing I was ever good at, and I get so jealous and hurt when I see other people competing, while I can't even go on a leisurely ride anymore with my boys. Even if that T wasn't there, going would only cause me harm... so no I won't go, even though I'm really tempted to!
