Back from our first show!

I am so proud of Utah!!!!!

He did awesome, we entered 5 classes, Hunt Seat walk/trot, English equitation walk/trot, Halter, Trail and a pumpkin relay

and out of those, we got four 2nd place ribbons, and trail winners haven't been announced yet! He has never been to a show before, and I was expecting him to get totally worked up. He only had one minor freak, but I got him back under control right away. The judge was very nice to us, she was grumpy to many of the other girls who were being rather rude. But in every class as I left the arena I thanked the judge, and I nodded to her as I entered. In return, she gave me some very positive feedback, and critique on my riding and handling skills. The other girls, she said nothing to

.

EEk, I am so happy! I will definitely be doing more showing, that was so much fun!

Congratulations. Smiling is always a good way to win over a judge. Manners make the world a much nicer place.

Thank you! Smiling was really the one thing I had a hard time with while I was in the ring, I concentrate so much while I ride, that I can't think about smiling or I forget something else lol.
