Milner Downs summer Classic 2+3

What a successful show! I am so happy with the way Mascot performed at the show. My 16 year-old boy pulled through. We were Reserve Champion Children's Hunter, won the Mini-Cet and won the huge $500 gift basket for the Aquarius Jumper Medal.

We are off to MREC on Sunday just to warm up and get him on the grass field before the finals in September.

Advice?

I just joined this lovely site but can't figure out where else to post!!!

I am currently doing a free lease on an Appy sport horse. Her confirmation is GREAT and she has a great free jump form. She is 4 years old.

She has most of her professional training in western pleasure, which she does not enjoy. This is why she is now in my possession.

She is having a hard time with the communication differences from WP to H/J. My first big problem was getting her to…
