So as I packed up the horse trailer to go home, I though to myself it had been a great day, could have been better though. But the day did not go as smoothly as id had hoped. First, my mom was unable to drive me to the show so I had to car pool me and my horse with a barn friend. Anyway, my class started at 8 so at the least had to be their at the least 7:30, so i got picked up at 7:00 (supposed to be picked up at 6:30) and we got there at 7:45! Well yes, my first show with Summer I was already rushing! Secondly, I had missed the warmup in the indoor, so me and my coach had to warm up in the outdoor ring. Third, my first class was over but they were still waiting for me, so we quickly finished my warm-up and had like 30 sec to remember my first course, and off into the ring i went, doing my first course in my SECOND class. Then after that I had like 10 sec to learn my second course and off I went again to do my second course, then I did my third course RIGHT AFTER that.

It was very stressful getting there late. I have learned my lesson when carpooling with a horse.

As for placements, there were 8 riders in each class, in my first class I got last because she had one refusal and because we dident canter the course (My coach told me not to canter though), second course I got 6th, and third course I got 6th again. I thought we did pretty good for placing at least (got 2 pink ribbons), but my next show will be on April 11th, so Im gonna work really hard to get a Red Ribbon next time!

I dident get pics, because my mom wasent there and nobody was able to, but definatly next time.

Watch for my next posts!
