Hey guys, so I havn't posted about it yet, so I figured I would post about it now, don't have any videos but I do have the pictures of the ribbons I got at a show we went to a couple weeks ago. Anyways it was my second time showing, but Roni and Nick decided to show for the first time and we all had a blast!!! My first two classes were walk trot and pleasure, and now that im above 16 I am in the senior division, I didn't place in walk trot, but I did get fifth in pleasure, anything above 6th you get a ribbon for, so I got a ribbon for that, then I did trail which nick beat both roni and I at, chuck had a couple of hissy fits but thats okay we worked through it, and theres always next time! Then we went on to barrels and poles, barrels went pretty good considering we got 3rd!!! poles could have been better, it seems in at least 1 speed event every time that Chuck tries to run sideways, that slowed us down but it didn't stop us from placing as I got 4th in that, then we did musical tires, I didn't know that I would have to climb back up on chuck every time so I oppted out for that, Nick beat Roni and placed in that although I can't remember how he did, then after that we did ride and switch, which is where you have to ride down to the barrel hop off and the other person gets on and rides back and its a timed event, I participated as Nicks partner and Ronis partner, with Nick we rode Chuck and with Roni we rode Jack, I thought Nick was going to fall off on the way back, but he made it, the stirrups were set on my length and obviously theres not time to change them, and we did pretty good, I am not used to riding Jack so we only cantered down instead of galloping and Jack didn't like the fast paced stuff to much and it took roni a little bit to get on because Jack was spinning in circles cause we were being crazy and in a hurry, we can definatly work on that though, I don't know what place Roni and I got, but Nick and I placed 3rd, and it was a open class so anyone could enter, we got beat by 2 groups of teen girls one of which goes to my school and is actually in my animal science class. Overall it was a super fun day and im glad we got the chance to go out and have fun. Later tonight I will make a post about what our next adventure will be so stay tuned for that!!!
