Wow! What a great start to the show season. So many wonderful things happened today! First, our Working Student Allie made her Show Groom debut! And man did she nail it! I could not have gotten through this show without her, and im looking forward to many more. We had a first time show-er today! Ruth laid down some great rounds on Miss Ange! Not only is miss Ange a dragon, she’s definitely not the hunter type 🫣🤭. But Ruth killed her first show! Anna showed up applying all the things she has worked so hard on since her last show, all while piloting King Louis around for his hunter debut. And Isolde added some great show miles to her pony Star AND piloted Lillie (the former barrel racing pony) around for her cross rails debut. It takes alot to show up to a division with ponies that dont look or act the part and lay down some great rounds! We even had other students and family members come out to support us!! And how wonderful that all girls got to take home ribbons today!
But the real magic…. That was when i got to bring my Mila girl into the leadline class on my beloved mare, Ange. I can’t help but feel that at this point I am on borrowed time with her. She turned 25 this week! And who knows how many more shows, or even days for that matter, I have left with her. So to be able to put the two together and bring them to the show was nothing short of a miracle.
A special thanks to all the parents that help make this all possible (Kris, Jeanne, Jamie, Cesar, Virginia, Lauren, Becky, Aaron… hope i didn’t forget anyone)
And a big shout out to AHJA for putting on a great show.
