every horse show requires EMT's. I under bid the competion by not requiring a hotel room. I started with one facillity and have expanded to 8 locations and 40 show days based on my reputation for EMS skills and reliability of always showing up early, setting up a first aid station, and providing service to competitor and spectator alike.
Buzzcut1, I am always so impressed with how much fun you are always having, in your TC. Ok, maybe you have to be working too, but you seem to be dealing with it well. Thanks always for including all of the great pictures too.

You have no idea how wiped out I am from last week. But...without the TC it would have been a living hell.
I never could see *****ing and moaning about what life throws your way. I always try to have as much fun as I can now matter how hard things get. Even when I'm riding an ambulance through gang land I try and find something new and interesting that I havent noticed before.
the ending scene from Monty Python's " Life of Brian" pretty much sums up how I view things
I spent 3 years with 3 quick changes (7 1/2 hours between shifts) every week. I had a 63 mile drive one way. TC 5 nights a week, home 2. Couldn't have survived without the TC.
Things are going to get interesting in about a week. We just sold our house in the mountains and have yet to find a new home so...I will be storing the TC at the facility in the photos as there is no place to put it at the MIL's. So on work weekends I will be spending fri-sun in the TC...yeah I know I'm heart broken to spend less time with the MIL, but it does mean a 150 mile drive to 4 of the venues instead of the 65-70 I normally go.
