Hi everyone,

 

Just thought I'd let you know how the horse show went. We woke up bright and early to see lots of rain :( This unfortunately made getting him on the trailer a little harder. BUT thankfully he went on after about 45 minutes. We were a little behind schedule when we got there, but with the help of friends and family, everything went smoothly. I entered nine differant classes. An english turnout class which we placed first, a walk trot (for green horse) which we placed second, an english eq. which we placed 6th, an english pleasure which we placed 5th, a crossrails class which we placed second, a hunter over fences class and we placed third, and three gaming classes. I placed 5th in one of them, but we are VERY new to gaming so we just wanted to give it a go and see how we did.

 

When I got there, I wasn't even planning on doing any jumping.. I didn't know if Comet would be ready, but at the last minute I signed him up for both classes just to try it.. I was going to trot the course until I was informed that I would lose points, so when I got into the arena, I cantered it! He didn't break once, he picked up all his leads and did AMAZING... second and third! And the best thing is... I have never cantered a course before! :)

 

Had so much fun, all the hard work was worth it!

Isn't it wonderful how horses will perform beyond their norm when they know it is important to us?  Good work at the show.
