She hit all her markers and did well enough to place 3 out of 5 and was obviously the youngest punk in this class....
Next up was her English classes....a pleasure (judged on horse), equitation (judged on rider), and a hunter hack (judged on horse and rider going over small jumps).....she was super excited as she waited for her class to enter the ring...
LB has been practicing her posting technique all spring and I could not be more proud....although sheer luck, she even hit her diagonals correct!
Her placings were middle of the pack again, which was about as good as we could have hoped for in this age division....
Her favorite class of the day had to be hunter hack tho...they lowered the poles to ground poles for us....THANK YOU! Not sure we were ready for legitimate 'jumping' just yet....still, she sported her best 2-point position over those poles and rocked it....yeehaw!
...and I just couldn't get enough of her precious posting...thanks for pluggin' along Bo.
It wasn't all 'firsts' just for Randi tho....this was also Tuff's first show! He found it to be exhausting....and this wasn't even halfway thru the day! He'll make a fine show dog yet....
Love our Bo...and Tuff pup too....
After a short lunch break, we came back for the western division....Bo would have preferred to long trot as he did in the earlier english classes, but LB got him bumped up and slowed down...
My pretty little cowgirl....
Even with minor speed corrections, she brought home a blue in the pleasure class....the judge was very forgiving ;)
For the equitation class, the kids ran a pattern....other than misinterpreting my instructions and going to the wring side of the cone, she nailed it!
..and I believe did well enough for a 2nd place finish if I recall correctly...was more focused on her performance than her placings. She did win the reserve championship for the western 12&under division tho....this was much more than we anticipated!
It was a great way to start the season....thank you Silver Star Farm for hosting this show and Lucas Cash for judging!
Here are some video clips of her go's...enjoy!
