And a couple of pictures of the sunday afternoon thunderstorm. Luckily it hit at about 4:30 p.m. just as the show was getting ready to wrap up. Tommy and I were waiting to go into our last class and the skies opened up in a torrential downpour. There was some very loud thunder and lightning that scared the crap out of some people's horses. A few competitors decided to scratch some of the last classes and go home, and more than one person had to get off of a nervous jumpy horse due to the thunder and lightning crashing down.
(And I was rather proud of Tommy, because he could've cared less about the noise. He cocked a hind leg and almost went to sleep throughout the whole thing. We have neighbors who target practice on a regular basis, so our horses are kind-of brain dead to loud noises.)
These are a couple of pictures that Craig snapped as we sat underneath the covered warmup arenas. It's hard to see in the photo above, but there is a small river running down the paved driveway.
Everybody ran for cover and waited for the storm to blow over. There was a person that was going to load their horse into their trailer to go home, but they opted to wait inside the barn for the rain to go away instead...
