Motocross? I'm not even sure they have all the races listed anywhere yet and when they do...they boys will pretty much decide week by week if and where they might want to go. ACK! No list? No plan? No cost analysis? ACK!!

Horse Show Planning vs Motocross Race Planning
The difference in planning for horse shows vs motocross races kind of cracks me up. For months Equestrian Girl and our friend Sheri have been scoping out last years attendance numbers in their respective divisions to see which shows give the best bang for the buck. Big numbers mean potentially big points. They scour the APHA website and map out how far for each show. Last weekend, we got together to plan a big out of state show. The only way we can all afford it is to go together to save on gas and camping and share the driving. We started off with a big show in New Jersey in late April. Hmmm, might be too early to have the horses in great shape. How about New Jersey in late June? Noooo, that's back to back with the IEA Nationals. Missouri in late July? Welllll, that would overlap with the last part of 4-H fair but...... So basically we have planned the whole show season out before the end of January.

If you ever come to NJ I would love to cheer you on! Not sure where the shows are, but I live within an hour of lots of show grounds and have an empty guest room and two pull out couches if you don't want to rough it :)
I was thinking about you when we were looking at showing in NJ! There are actually two pretty big APHA shows in NJ but the timing is bad for us this year. Maybe in 2013 but I will for SURE be letting you know!! It is always nice to have someone around who knows the area a little bit.
