Day 2 of our Dressage in the Hill Country Autumn Affair Show was as full and fabulous as Day 1 thanks to all our wonderful riders, horses and mules! However, with summer temps, the only thing “autumn” about our show was the fall foliage décor at the judge’s table and topping our arena letters. 😂
Special thanks to our judge Brenda McCall and our scribes, Heidi and Charlotte, who kept our show running ahead of schedule and being so accommodating with our schedule shifting to help riders and horses new to dressage!

Lots of photos from today's show from my iPhone, but the best is coming! Bella with EquiEssence Photography, our official show photographer, will be posting a link to all the incredible photos she captured of each ride both days of the show. I'll post the link here, on our website (DsrpRidingSeries.com), and our DSRP Riding Series page. Thank you Bella!
