Slow Progress on the Horses

I'm very frustrated right now!  I'm really making myself crazy and I don't know why!!  I keep looking at the horses and I keep walking away saying I'll do it tomorrow.  I'm really scared of making mistakes and I can't seem to get over the problem.  I did start to prime the the 2 horses I've been making little changes on.  I'm priming both of them with white primer and it's going to take several coats to cover them completely.  I haven't been able to work on them because of the wind blowing too hard the past couple of days.  I hope that changes tomorrow!  I just have finish priming the horses and get the paints out.  I just haven't been able to do that.  I have to say when I do work it's a lot of fun.  
On another note, this past weekend was the Groom Expo in Hershey and I did go this year.  I wish I were working again!  I really miss working with the dogs and learning so much new stuff.  The dogs have taught me so much patience and so much more understanding of them.  I would just love to be volunteering somewhere, ASPCA is one of the places I'd like to work doing whatever they needed.  I'll do that someday.  When I watch Animal Planet I just can't believe what people can do to animals and not feel any remorse.  Anyway, even though Barry went with me, I had a good time.  I looked at almost anything and I got the dryer I've been looking for.  We got there in time to see Irina win with Casey and we found Kathy and Diana, her niece.  I really enjoyed watching the Creative Grooming competition.  So far I've seen 2 of them live and none of the dogs I picked placed at all.  I really loved the little dinosaur/Bijon and the Pupweiser team.  Just amazing!  The deer was just adorable too.  None of them got anything.  I think there must be a little favoritism and/or politics working in these competitions.  Well, it was fun to watch them do their presentations after the grooming.  Some of them are just amazing!  A lot of imagination and planning, not to mention the amount of work involved in the grooming!  Very impressive!  The only thing I really missed was going to some of the seminars that were offered.  Next year I'm going to go to at least 3.  I really want to learn more about what I love to do.
