Sticky footing...

We've just returned from our latest horse show and the showgrounds we were at, well, is still fairly new and they are still getting the footing right ... BUT, we were "stuck" with sticky footing... we had clay type dirt sticking to our boot heels and our horses hooves...anytime we were in the arena, the horses looked like they had snowballs in their feet, what helped...lubrication...we used cooking spray, others used WD-40 and someone else used silicone spray...it HELPED...so if you've got sticking footing...go grab something greasy, spray it on the bottom of the hoof...it did help the dirt not stick and if it did, it was easier to get out...

I'll have the patterns up for this show fairly quickly, while fresh in my mind... nothing horribly hard, just precision, precision, precision...and practice doing 2 spins in a row...it'll help!
