It’s that time of year again, Time for Fox Crossing! I love these guys, and they always hold the best shows here! Sadly, luck was not on my side. I showed up early, and ended up waiting around for the better part of the day to get started. I had trudged through the mud so my boots were very slippery. I actually ended up taking a little spill, and even took myself off course first round. I completely missed second round, and third round bay knocked the jump. 
I was a pretty epic fail, but I can only blame myself and learn from these mistakes. I’m hoping I have a bit more luck when I go back for show 2!
