The Road to the CIC**

Tomorrow I leave for the CIC** at Galway Downs.  Every time I start thinking about it, like now, my palms get sweaty and I lose my appetite.  This will be the biggest competition for Ginger and I so far.  Wow am I excited, I spent some of my time yesterday in class studying for the two star.  I watched videos of the cross country course from previous years just to be prepared for what may be ahead.  At first it made me nervous and made me second guess if my horse could even jump higher than two feet.  Then this morning I woke up an watched one video that really made me remember what we are capable of.  I watched a video of Ginger and I competing two years ago.  It reminded me of the horse I have underneath of me, our partnership, and the excitement that is to come this weekend.  For your viewing pleasure I have included the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W80kXe3Nc08 Ginger and I will go on our last gallop today and load up into the trailer tomorrow at noon.  I will continue to update when I can on Facebook and Twitter.  Also the scores are available online at http://eventingscores.com/eventsr/galway/ht0411/ and view the scores for the CIC**. 
Until next time,
Lauren and Ginger
