Pictures, Finally! :)

Successful show

I had a good show this weekend, not as great as I would have hoped but I am happy with some of the progress that I made. My best class by far was Showmanship and here are my class results:

• Novice- day 1
• 1st and 2nd out of 17
• Day 2
• 1st and 8th out of 20

• Youth-Day 1
• 1st and 3rd out of 5
• Day 2
• Two 1sts out of 6

I also purchased a photo cd of all my photos, so I will be making some sample ads for myself, and posting them as well as the pictures, would really like some feedback on the ads!!

Horse Shows!!

Coco and I will be heading out to show again!! So excited, this is like our "home" show, as it is 5-10 minutes down the road from the barn. My cousin Hailey, is also showing her horse at this show, she hasn't yet moved up from walk trot, and my aunt will be showing her horse "Picot" in reining and ranch horse. Emily, a boarder, will also be showing her horse Lilly in Ranch Horse. Here are my goals for this show:

• Improve on last time:
• Make sure he understands all of my cues, and I give them to him directly
• Be crisp in showmanship
• Have good upper body position in horsemanship
• Make sure he's moving correctly in pleasure
• Get halter points so I can get my aqha championship
• Make sure he has enough"power" in trail

I might post again tomorrow but I am leaving for the show Wednesday afternoon so expect updates, next week!
