BevLive: agony and ecstasy

A day of pleasure and disappointment. Esther nearly covered herself with glory today. She had a great run in the morning and ended up 3rd in the nursery. Monty ran really well also, but with the added scores his previous score held him back. Joni managed to get the high nursery score for the whole trial, finishing up in 5th place. Scott won the nursery with a second really nice run.

The Open was not nearly as nice for me: after waiting four days, Mirk drew a crazed ewe which we didn't handle as well as we could have. Alas, we didn't qualify since we got no pen or shed. So tomorrow the driving begins. Amanda will continue the blog while I do my 3,000 miles of penance.
