Subject: Hello there girl!

I let myself into summer's stall and I give her a bit of a carrot and slip out to get her grooming stuff. She stand quitely while I give her a good long grooming. I rub her with a rag so she shines and I braid her mane. I put white ribbons in it and then put some glitter on the braids. I step back to admire my work and then go to the tack room and fish out a disposable camera I keep in the barn just in case. I snap a few pictures of her and then put the camera back. I notice it still has 12 pictures left.

I get a leather show halter with silver plates with swirles on them just for fun and bring summer out to the ring. We walk around and pretend like we were in a real show. I imagine I win the blue ribbon and I pin a blue flower on summers halter with a hair pin I pulled out of my own hair.

We take our victory lap around the ring and stop infront of the gait. Summer nudges me on my leg with her nose and I look down at my stained, faded barn jeans, and my old yellow shirt with a picture of a puppy on it. I smile at summer and say "You know I would never wear these rags to a real show, so stop worrying." She nickerd softly and pushed the gate open with her nose. I made her step back and then fallow me out of the gate. "Now now,"I scolded,"We arn't going to win any blue ribbons with manners like that."
I understood though that she was hungary and wanted to get back to her stall.

When we reached her stall I Took a wet rag and wiped all of the glitter out of her mane and gave her fresh hay and grain and water. I slipped some carrots and apple bits into her grain and kissed her goodbye.
