Region 15 Championships
Virginia Horse Center
After the trip down to Lexington, we got the horses stalls set up and took them for a nice walk. When it was show time, Sol and Zeal were up first. Cassie and Zeal had great courses and pinned second in each. They were well on their way to a Reserve Champion. Sol and Kim tried their best, but had some mistakes that caused low placings. In the under saddle section, Zeal was being a handful. While cantering the second direction he started to take off! Cassie circled him to slow him down, but he swapped leads and tried to take off again. His chances for Reserve were suddenly gone. He still managed to be a Top Five which was still great news.
Then with PX, Cassie had good courses on him, but he had trouble getting lead changes on the short, rounded turns. He hacked well, but overall pinned right outside of the top spots. We still had fun and it was a good experience for Kim and for Cassie with Zeal.
