Roomie didn't know how much she would miss the beaucolic backdrop of a breeding farm.
And she clearly remembered when her date said "growing up on a farm like this becomes part of you. I don't think I ever considered anything else."
On show day, Jill was glad that she didn't follow the show property's Senior Coaches instructions to announce the lost walkie talkies over the show p/a as she was instructed. She had nodded and decided to wait a beat.
And, rightly so too, because HER boss piped up a minute later shouting, "Found It!!" - right where she'd said it was, incidentally.
Jill jonesed for the High Performance Training Days. The first time she'd tried some dressage movements was when she was trotting around a Florida grass field. She'd had the epiphany that the horse knew way more than she did. She'd said to her hack buddy of the moment Jim, "Hey, of course Nellie knows half-pass," and she gave the text book aids for half-pass that she'd read in the Walter Zetl book and the mare executed, in perfect space and rhthym and consistensy and ooooooh la la. Was she in heaven?
The episode was stuck in her mind because of Roomies advice on the travel challenges and such. "Just Ask!"
