One more thing.

Hey, I forgot to mention.

Sam recommended that I buy some riding pants, but she didn't tell me where I should get them from. So I tried to go to a town on Main Street that sells western supplies, but Main Street was closed for a "special event." Gah.

Then I went into Subway (sandwich place) and I saw this woman wearing riding pants. I asked her where she got them and she said, "I have no idea, I have had them for years." Boo. But then she told me about this little used tack store called Happy Trails. You would never find it unless you knew it existed. Heh. I mean that its location is horrible. But they have large selection of used riding pants. I bought a pair that cost three dollars b/c it has a patch. A little patch makes it only three dollars? Cool. Then I bought another pair for 55 dollars. One pair is black and the other is dark gray. So I wore them to my lesson today.

Quite fortuitous, don't you think?

Also, Carmen is much smaller than Gracie, so I knew that if I fell the fall would be shorter. Heh.
