Anyhow, both Riata and I were very nervous(me more than her) but we did well and learned lots and met a lot of nice people. There will be 3 more shows this year; one in July, Aug. and Sept. We competed in 4 classes; Showmanship-Halter, Western Pleasure, Trail and Western Horsemanship. Sara was really sweet and was willing to get up early -we left at 5:30- and hang out with me all day plus Ursula met us over there too and was a great help also.
It was early-no I'm not really sleep-driving; I was peeking at the road while Sara took the pic.
Riata all cleaned up-again. I gave her a bath the night before and she rolled just her head in the freshest pile of manure that was in her pen sometime during the night sooo,,.............. we gave her a sponge bath-scrub when we got to Spring Creek.
Even she thinks its early
Afternoon snack-very important-just ask her. Its easier to not be so nervous with a full belly.
Sara and Ursula enjoying P.B. and J sandwiches plus fresh fruit. Tailgate picnic!
Here we are waiting for our last class-Western Horsemanship-we got 1st in this class. WOOHOO!!
All done. We got one 1st place, two 4th places and a 6th place. This show built my confidence quite a bit. I know what to expect and what I need to work on.
She was really concerned with that was going on in that direction.
Okay, now we can relax. It was getting a little dusty in there-not that you could tell.
