The June WE (Working Equitation) competition recap!
Wow...what a weekend!
3 horses for a double header show weekend. Last chance for us to try to get scores to qualify to enter the championships in Sept.
1st time getting my Amaro back in the ring for the year and for I honestly dont know how long in general. Poor guy has been sitting while I have been trying to bring along some of the youngsters and get Iconic out dancing in the ring.
But we jumped in and went for it this show with both boys....Amaro and Iconic and Amy's lovely Canadian mare, Indiana also joined the game for her very first show!
All the horses were amazing. Absolutely amazing.
Iconic has really been working on figuring the game out and improving leaps and bounds every time. My baby has turned into a handsome show pony now. And my god the potential he has...its going to be fun to bring him along. He took home qualifying scores for championships in both shows with mid to upper 60's for scores.
Indiana... miss never been to a show. Hasn't ever seen several of the obstacles. And due to the show running WAY early the first day, we went in totally cold for dressage...literally zero warm up. She freaking rocked it like a champ! She was willing and brave and soaked everything in on show 1. Then stepped into the ring for show 2 likes shes done this several times....and got scores for championships ! Holy impressive mare. I've always liked her but she really knocked my socks off this time. And really turned some heads too.
My Amaro. He was soooo happy to be back in the ring. A little too excited the first day. Lol
We were a bit forward and against my hand and chatty, which made the more technical riding harder.
But by speed round (which we rode like EOH) he dialed right in.
Show 2...boom...Amaro is back! And rocked his tests with some 70 and 71 scores to qualify for championships with ease!
Not bad for not being ridden since sept!! Other than a couple rides the last 2 weeks. Seriously what a good guy.
And what a statement made by all 3 horses about the breed.
No big camera this time but there was a photographer for Iconics ride, Diana was there for Amaros ride and I think some of iconics rides and Amy got video of the rides.
Video to come in another post!
Oh! And again it was so fun to see other Amaro kids out there competing and doing amazing! This show, Andalusian cross, CDC Vindicaciòn was there as well as Lusitano cross, CDC Inigo Montoya (with his new lucky human aboard)
