green... not one of my favorite colors

i hate when the jealousy bug bites... i want so desperately to have the successes my friends have but lameness keeps returning. my older mare can't stay sound at competitions with stone dust footing. and now i worry about having to show my baby on it too. i'd never compromise my horses' health for my own wants and greedy desires. i wish there were more recognized show venues near new jersey with footing appropriate to horses with special needs. even if it was just sand. i'm totally fine with sand! /sigh.
