first horse show

On Saturday I had my very first horse show! It was local (at the stable I ride at, actually) so it was a good opportunity to get some experience. I have only been riding a few months, so I am by no means great at this. One day I will be, but that is a lot of rides and hard work down the road.

We went through three classes. I was so nervous on the first one (not to mention on the wrong diagonal!), so we didn't get anything. In our second class we took 6th out of seven, and the third we got 3rd of three. So maybe we weren't spectacular, but we tried. For a first show, I consider it a success just to get over my nerves and want to go back and show again.

Didn't my boy look handsome?

And this is my favorite picture from the whole day-

What would life be without a great family and a good horse?
