Bad Eventer found her sitting trot this weekend………
in spades.
So here’s Bad Eventer’s recipe for success…
#1. Fill your boots with 5 (or maybe 6) inches of water.
No cheating on this one, be sure your boots are sufficiently water proof on the outside so as the water pours in from the sky it absolutely cannot go out the bottom.
#2. Be sure that your sticky saddle is completely soaked.
So soaked that you’re not sure if you really have to pee anymore, because……
you know everything down there is wet anyway.
#3. Wear WET sticky breeches.
Sticky breeches PLUS a gallon of water
PLUS
Sticky saddle (and…you know… a gallon of water)
EQUALS
Amazing Glue
#4. Ride in footing so deep…………
slippery, and muddy that you fear for your life if you come 1 inch out of the saddle.
#5. And last but not least……………
compete 6 times in 6 hours in the pouring rain. By the end……….you will have mastered the sitting trot!
Bad Eventer Style!
