He went to his first show, yesterday. Don’t get excited. We just rode to the show grounds and stood on the outskirts for about 10 minutes. Rnager kept inching forward--he wanted to wander around amongst the activity. He loves doing that. There were horses going past us or warming up in the field nearby, the loud speaker was blaring and horses were calling. Cole behaved well at the show, but as we rode away, I told Ellen I expected an expression of emotion any moment. About a minute later, he jumped and squealed. At least he didn’t let me down.
He was in a funny mood the whole ride. I think it was the bugs. A number of times, he tried to spin and go home. Twice, he nearly collided into the jaws of death--Ranger's gaping jaws. I think Ranger taught him manners better than I could ever teach him. We did do some new things, and he was great for them. All the trotting went well, too. It was just when we were walking and getting swarmed by mosquitoes that he misbehaved.
With all the rain we have been getting, including right now, I don't know if we will be getting any break from the bugs anytime soon. I really don't much like summer, and I am so much looking forward to fall.

I am so with you; summer in the midwest just BITES!! Too hot and humid. Bring on the fall!!
Normally I don't agree with that statement, but after being at work with a broken air conditioner for seven hours I'd love for fall to be here!! It was awful.
I'm glad Cole did great when the bugs weren't bothering him. :) You can't really blame him for that though. They are so annoying.
