I’ve been busy each morning during the horse show putting together results and writing the cutlines for the center ring presentation shots of the winner of each class. That’s particularly time-consuming for the first half of the show, when there are both morning and evening classes.

Well, someone else will have to format those results and write those cutlines tomorrow. I will be in the car on my way to Etowah.

Why?

I have a train to catch.

This is a media event — they’ve invited reporters from around the region — and I’ll be doing a color photo page for the newspaper.

My editor, who has been staying to the end of the show each night and writing a story about it every morning, has worked many more hours than I have this week, and I don’t know how she’s done what she’s done. But it’s been a busy week for all of us, and this will be a pleasant diversion, some calm before the storm of Championship Saturday in Shelbyville.
