Long Spot Mondays

Sometimes Monday shows up out of nowhere right in the middle of a fantastic weekend and ruins everything by giving you a good old slap in the face with reality. Doesn’t Monday know we were ENJOYING OUR HOLIDAY WEEKEND CHEER? Monday don’t care. Monday wants to ruin your rhythm and throw in a three-stride that should at least have been a four and honestly was best as a steady five.

Your consolation is that we all suffer together – and one good soul is here to share in the highs and lows, the long spots and the deep spots.

“This is me and Honor, who I lease,” says Glenna Fiddyment. “She is a 7-year-old OTTB mare and generally we are on the same page about distances but every once in a while she likes to keep me on my toes by leaving an entire stride out. She made it over this fence just fine and I thankfully didn’t get too left behind, so I recovered and we went on to jump the rest of our course without incident. She is really a wonderful mare and super fun to ride.”

You’re a top notch, pair, Glenna and Honor, and we’ve all left out a stride (or two) in our day! Thanks for sharing, and be sure to tag your Facebook or Instagram posts with #Longspotmondays or send them to lorraine@nationmediallc.com for your chance to be (in)famous for a day!
