Debbie's new horse, Zeal (Kharry On+), had just arrived a few days before this show. Cassie was to show him in the Working Hunter after only riding him a couple times in her life. Debbie also brought Nina to jump and for Billy to show in a small schooling show there for Hunter Pleasure. Kim had Solidor to show in hunters and in Hunter Pleasure and we brought Braveheart to do the low working hunter and some Hunter Pleasure too. Also, we brought Post Exchange+// to jump and *Paradoks+ for Hunter Pleasure.
Zeal and Cassie got better each time they did another course and placed consistantly. Braveheart did pretty well in the lows and earned a few ribbons too. Solidor didn't have the best trips, but had a lot better luck than at mason dixon and did win some classes and was champion in the Purebred Regular Working Hunter. Cassie still had to show PX and she was worried if she would be able to make a good switch from Zeal to PX. After all, they are very different horses to ride. In the end PX and Cassie had wonderful trips and won all three classes, was Champion, and even won Hunter Hack!!!
Now for the Hunter Pleasure. Sol did well much to Kim's delight and earned a second place and a reserve champion.Braveheart showed in show hack and placed first, along with some lower placings in the hunter pleasue! Paradoks went in Native Costume and was Perfect, but placed fourth to some hoses that didn't even have a head set because he was penalized for having vet wrap on his tail to disguise that it was braided. We had no choice but to braid his tail ahead of time so he can have it for Hunter Pleasure which was soon after(at least the vet wrap was purple to match the costume). Anyway He placed well in the Hunter Pleasure and in one of the classes he lost a shoe(just like last year) on the first turn after trotting into the ring. After loosing it he had the biggest trot step ever! Even though his shoe was aluminum too! But with that huge trot and mannerly disposition he won the class!!! Later one evening mom and I decided to do the Combo class for fun. In this class the Jr. rider shows the horse one direction and an amateur family member shows the other direction. We showed Paradoks in this class and got first place.
Once again we didn't take any pictures at this show, sorry.
we were too busy
